“I’m delighted to have been invited back by The Humane Society of the United States to host this truly unique and inspirational event. We all need to be a voice for those who cannot speak out for themselves, which is why The Genesis Awards recognize those who have the power to spread the word about the issues affecting innocent, voiceless animals,” Inaba said.

Besides trophies, a great way to reward these stars is with great vegan food!

Tal Ronnen, vegan chef and author of The Conscious Cook, is in charge of preparing the menu for the event that takes place on March 19 in Los Angeles and Ok! Magazine received the word on what the stars will be munching on, including the vegan desserts.

Every year, the Humane Society of the United States uses the Genesis Awards to honor the film, TV, and print industry for its creative ways of portraying animal welfare.

In this year’s awards, a variety of shows ranging from The Simpsons to Dr. Phil have been nominated.

“Media attention to animal protection issues has come a long way since The Genesis Awards was launched twenty-five years ago,” said Beverly Kaskey, senior director of the Hollywood office of The HSUS and executive producer of The 25th Anniversary Genesis Awards. “The fact that True Blood, a show about vampires, can illustrate the cruelty of dog fighting is a sure sign that a consciousness about animal concerns is permeating popular entertainment and culture like never before.”

Winners of the categories will be announced at the Genesis Awards held Saturday, March 19, 2011, at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, Los Angeles, CA. Here is the list of nominees.

Katie Cleary is a Chicago raised, former “Deal or No Deal” model who went on to snag spots in “Entourage,” “CSI: NY” and her latest film, Iron Man 2.

When you’re a contestant on Deal or No Deal with two cases left and they’re both worth under $5, you’ve made a bad deal turning down $100,000 two commercials ago.

Cleary thinks getting a dog from a puppy mill is a really bad deal, and she told Bleacher Report about more of her activism, which includes volunteering at the Shambala Preserve for big cats ran by actress Tippi Hedren.

“I was the award presenter three years in a row for the Genesis Awards to support animals causes in the media. I recently showed my support for various causes by protesting with some of the crew from the TV Show “Whale Wars” and got the restaurant “The Hump” shut down because they were illegally serving whale meat and turtle blood. Really disgusting people! I have also protested against most of the pet stores in LA that buy their puppies from puppy-mills where the dogs are sick and malnourished. This will soon be illegal and myself and a bunch of volunteers fight to educate the owners to go humane or shut down in our “Adopt – don’t buy” campaigns.”

Cleary runs her own amateur sanctuary at home, with two rescue dogs, two rescue cats, one rescue parrot and three rescue turtles!

Teri Hatcher is in the process of launching a new website, Get Hatched, hosted by the Disney Channel and meant to give tips on health, beauty, and more.

We’re sure hoping Teri includes some fantastic vegetarian recipes, like the one she gave to Rachael Ray for vegetarian stuffing.

Since so many stuffing mixes on the shelves contain the very unnecessary ingredient of chicken stock, it’s not as easy to “eat the sides” during Thanksgiving dinner like every meat eating family member says.

Teri’s uses olive oil, fresh herbs like sage and apples that you can stuff into your homemade tofu turkey or eat plain.

You can grab the recipe, here.

Also an animal activist, Hatcher attended the recent Genesis Awards put on by the Humane Society of the United States and co-owns land with former NFL player Howie Long that she plans to turn into an animal sanctuary.
