Who Would You: Lauren Bush Or Chelsea Clinton

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 24th, 2008 in Fashion, Models, Politicians, Polls/Surveys, Who Would You.

Lauren Bush is the niece of George W. If you don’t know who Chelsea’s mom and dad are…you probably haven’t been awake enough during these past years to even vote in our poll. Relations to the right, relations to the left, both know what’s right when it comes to putting vegetarian food on their plates. So who would you…

How Bollywood’s Kareena Kapoor Is Spending Her Christmas

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 24th, 2008 in Actresses, Bollywood.

“Mom, Lolo and I believe in the power of the Mt Mary’s Shrine. I am very religious and Christmas has always been huge in the family. We decorate the Christmas tree, attend the Midnight Mass and then have a Christmas dinner on December 25 replete with roast turkey with stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, vegetables and plum pudding for dessert and the traditional goodies that come with it. I am not non vegetarian so I won’t be able to have the roast turkey but I can have the side dishes.”

If you’re celebrating Christmas this holiday season, how will you be doing so? Unlike Kareena, do you have the Tofurky at the table or are you destined to eat side dishes?

Chime in and let us know your plans!

Forest Whitaker Advocating Falafel Cart Can Ease NY MTA Hikes

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008 in Actors.

GQ Magazine Hosts The Gentlemen's Ball - Arrivals

New Yorkers are in an uproar over the fare hikes and service cuts the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) has approved in its 2009 budget.

One man expressed his feelings personally by attempting to throw a shoe at Chief Executive Elliot Sander-mimicking the Iraqi reporter who threw his shoes at George W. Bush, before being escorted out.

People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), being the peace and goodwill promoting organization it is, has offered to help solve this problem so hopefully Chief Sander will only be dodging snowballs this winter.

They would like to purchase advertisement on MTA that would allow riders to hear pro-vegetarian testimonials by vegetarian actors Forest Whitaker, Casey Affleck, and Kevin Nealon.

Fantastic idea, but why not take it a bit further. Along with the personal testimonial, include shout outs as to where to find the food. Something like,”I’m Forest Whitaker and I’m a vegetarian. Check out the Falafel cart at 46th and 6th, may make the advertisement dollars go further.

You can listen to each celebrity’s announcement over at PETA’s blog.

Gym Class Hero Travis McCoy Wants Dinosaur Burger Last Meal

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, December 21st, 2008 in Food & Drink, Male Singers, Not So Vegetarian.

MTV Europe Music Awards 2008: VIP Arrivals

When lead vocalist of alternative hip-hop group Gym Class Heroes was asked what his last meal on earth would be, he suggested an entree completely different than what he’s used to eating.

“I’ve been a vegetarian for about five years now, so I’d probably just have the biggest, grossest carnivorous meal ever. Maybe like a human leg or a brontosaurus burger.”

A vegetarian for half a decade and suddenly he wants to get cannibalistic? Or visit Jurassic Park to hunt for his dinner?

Since he suggested a “carnivorous meal” as his last one, it’s probably safe to say he’s one of those vegetarians that misses his real meat and likes the imitation variety.

His longtime girlfriend, singer Katy Perry, who’s recently denied rumors they are engaged, said she wanted to make a New Year’s Resolution to become vegetarian, but thought it would be hard because she liked chicken too much.

Travis expressing his desire for flesh sure doesn’t do much to encourage her. Craving for chicken is one thing. How will she ever be convinced there are substitutes that taste just like T-Rex?

Meatless Mouthful: Mallika Sherawat Straight Edge Sex Symbol

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, December 19th, 2008 in Actresses, Bollywood, Meatless Mouthful.

“Being [a] sex symbol is [a] lot of hard work, and requires Spartan discipline. I work out, I don’t go to parties, I do not smoke or drink alcohol, I am Vegetarian and I am asleep by 10pm.”

—-one of the most popular quotes by Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat, whose real name is Reema Lamba.

She’s starred in Indian films such as Khwahish and Murder, for which she won Best Actress at the Zee Cine Awards in the Indian film industry.

She’s not only sexy, but smart too, as she obtained a degree in Indian philosophy from Miranda House, Delhi University.

Based on her description of what it takes to be a sex symbol, a.k.a. living the non-hardcore party life, sounds like all of you straight-edgers are pretty darn sexy!

Vegetarian Gwyneth Paltrow Offers More Animal Flesh Recipes

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, December 19th, 2008 in Actresses, Not So Vegetarian.

The UK Premiere of Two Lovers

Gwyneth’s Paltrow’s vegetarianism these days is sort of like describing a prostitute’s puritanical traits. Yeah, there really aren’t many.

To make a long story short, the actress who claims to be “pretty much vegetarian”, has “pretty much” slept with the fur devil and given step by step instructions for making patties out of Tom Turkey these past few months. But she did abstained from ham. Always give credit when it’s due. 

Her latest newsletter from her online site, Goop, features the, cough, cough, vegetarian giving meal hints for the holidays.

“I generally always make the same meal for Christmas as I do for Thanksgiving with a few exceptions…Since you can pull up the Thanksgiving MAKE from the archive if you’re doing Whole Roast Turkey, I thought I would do a delicious Hanukkah menu and a Christmas breakfast.”

“For Hanukkah I love a Whole Roasted Fish with Salsa Verde and with the addition of the Latkes, you get that wonderful crisp potato thing on the side; it’s very satisfying…”

“The biscuits are a healthier version of the good ole’ southern version but are just as tasty. You can scramble an egg, add one of the homemade sausages, stick ’em in the fresh warm biscuit and, to quote a line from the epic eighties film Sixteen Candles, “Wha-lah, breakfast is ready!”

Um, wha-lah, girlfriend, breakfast is soooo not vegetarian ready!

It isn’t so much that we are attacking someone for promoting so much meat (not that we haven’t done that before), but it’s the fact that Gwyneth has associated herself with being vegetarian, yet is choosing to focus on so many meat dishes lately. She could have at least suggested her vegan pancakes with that darn turkey sausage!

Obama Move Over: Leona Lewis Shares Person Of The Year

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, December 18th, 2008 in Female Musicians, Female Singers.

2008 American Music Awards - Press Room

Time magazine has declared 44th President elect Barack Obama as its 2008 Person of the Year. With the impact he’s made on election history, he’s probably deserving of it.

However, singer and “X Factor” winner Leona Lewis, has taken the crown in another, perhaps less known, person of the year contest held by the UK division of People for The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

“Leona Lewis is admired for her beautiful voice, but it’s her kindness to animals that makes her a superstar in our book,” said PETA Europe Director Robbie LeBlanc.

Leona, a strict vegetarian since she was 12 years old, refuses to even wear animal products, such as fur and leather shoes. She’s so passionate about this, she’s talking with various suppliers to design her own line of vegan shoes and bags.

She made quite a statement earlier this year, turning down over a million dollars by refusing to sing at a Harrod’s department store seasonal sale opening because the store sold fur products.

The “Bleeding Love,” star is joining the hall of fame with other vegetarian celebrities, including last year’s winner,  fashion designer Stella McCartney, the daughter of ex-Beatles Paul McCartney.

Congratulations, Leona! We look forward to learning how you’ll be leading vegetarians in the upcoming year.

Anne Hathaway: Easier To Eat Meat While Dating Raffaello Follieri

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 17th, 2008 in Actresses, Food & Drink.

Anne Hathaway Joins Forces With Netflix & Feeding America To Combat Hunger

Anne Hathaway is gracing the cover of the January 2009 issue of Vogue magazine, discussing her new life and all the changes she’s made since ditching her currently behind bars ex Raffaello Follieri.

She said she ate meat while dating him because it was “easier for the lifestyle at that time,” but soon banished that quicker than a jury can say, “guilty.”

“I don’t eat anything with a face,” she said, referring to her new diet, which she discussed a few months ago on David Letterman

She also can kick your butt-she’s taken up kickboxing lessons with Hollywood fitness guru David Kirsch.

You gotta wonder what she meant when she said eating meat was easier for the lifestyle when dating Follieri? Did he insist on only stocking steak in his fridge?
