Quantcast Vegetarian Star“Glee” (3)

Academy Of Television Arts & Sciences' Evening With Glee - Arrivals

There was a rumor going around not long ago that Glee star Chris Colfer put bacon bits in vegan co-star Lea Michele‘s salad.

Rest assured, they’re completely false.

Colfer told PR.com:

“No, I didn’t. I should have though. No, I was kidding. A tabloid actually posted an article about Lea, about how [she] eats nothing but pork and ribs and hamburgers and all that. She couldn’t have been more mortified because [she’s] a hardcore vegetarian. So I just wanted to post a Tweet at her expense. As funny as it does sound, I couldn’t. She probably would have gotten sick. But it is pretty funny to think about.”

Frontier, a manufacturer of organic spices, has a vegetarian bacon bit product available, Bac’ Uns, made from soy flour and other vegan spices.

The price is similar to what you’d pay for Frontiers other organic spices and reviews at an online vegan product store, Vegan Essentials are mostly positive.

Lea Michele Shares Mom’s Vegan Friendly Lasagna Recipe (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, April 26th, 2010 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Recipes, Videos.

Lea Michele recently became a vegan, but that doesn’t stop the Italian Glee actress from enjoying a plate of lasagna.

“I’m part of a traditional Italian family, so when I became a vegan, my mother learned how to make a version of lasagne I could still enjoy,” Lea said. “The idea of possibly going through the rest of my life without eating it was very upsetting!”

Lea is sharing her mother’s recipe for vegetable lasagna roll ups in the May issue of InStyle.

Vegan lasagna is incredible easy to make.

Substituting dairy cheese for a soy version like Chicago Soy Dairy’s “Teese” or Follow Your Heart “Vegan Gourmet” or “Tofutti” is the quickest way.

For a soft, more traditional ricotta cheese, soft or silken tofu seasoned with plum vinegar and soy sauce give taste alike versions even a non vegan would enjoy.

Eden Organic has a vegetable lasagna that utilizes such a tofu ricotta in one of their many recipes online.

InStyle & 20th Century Fox Celebrate Glee s Golden Globe Nominations

Cory Monteith, known for playing Finn Hudson on Glee, discussed his favorite spots to eat, relax and enjoy life in Vancouver.

Cory says vegetarian restaurant The Naam is the best place to healthily pig out…even if he only eats there every once in awhile.

“I like to eat healthy sometimes. But I like to eat incredibly badly sometimes too. I try to balance it out. If you go to The Naam, you can at least feel as though the large stomach full of food you’re sleeping on is at least vegetables.”

Of course, The Naam has more than broccoli and carrots.

Watch the video below to learn Cory’s other favorite spots.

Lea Michele arrives at the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards

Glee star Lea Michele has revealed the secret to why she is able to keep up with playing her annoyingly bubbly character Rachel Berry.

“I’m a vegan,” Lea told Ok! magazine. “It makes me feel really good and bright.”

“You need a lot of energy to play spunky Rachel Berry, so I’ve tried a lot of different things — and so far, this is working.”

The vegan diet must be working for her because Lea’s looking fabulous these days.

Makes you wonder why she didn’t get naked for that PETA ad she did awhile back.

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, December 9th, 2009 in Actresses, Polls/Surveys, Who Would You.

Jenna Ushkowitz and Dianna Agron share the set of the hot new Fox television show Glee.

Wonder if they also share snacks between scenes.

Both vegetarians, sources say Dianna is a supporter of PETA and Jenna devoured Tofurky this past Thanksgiving.

Obviously both would have no problem singing for their vegetarian supper.

So between the two Glee stars, who would you rather do…

Jenna Ushkowitz Smaller Carbon Footprint With Tofurky

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, November 29th, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink.

arriving at the 2009 US Weekly Hot Hollywood Party

Still enjoying the leftovers from Thanksgiving?

Glee star Jenna Ushkowitz more than likely enjoyed a Tofurky loaf she told JustJared.com her mom planned to make.

Besides making homemade stuffing, Jenna said her family usually goes to Disney World and eats at the Grand Floridian.

Maybe she’ll pick up some of Minnie Mouse’s antibiotic and hormone free eggs.

As far as making the vegetarian switch, Jenna said, “I’d always wanted to do it. I am trying to have a smaller carbon footprint.”

It’s a small footprint after all. It’s a small footprint after all.

Dianna Agron Lea Michele “It’s On” MTV–Fur Real Or Fur Fake

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, November 9th, 2009 in Actresses, Fur, Fur Real Or Fur Fake.

Dianna Agron and Lea Michele, cast members on the hit TV show Glee , leave the MTV studios after an appearance on the It's On with Alexa Chung show

Glee stars Dianna Agron and Lea Michele were caught outside the MTV studios after appearing on It’s On with host Alexa Chung.

Looks like Dianna said “It’s On” with fur before heading outside the studios.

If Dianna’s wearing fur, her lack of compassion for animals makes a stark contrast to her co-star Lea, who can be seen in an ad urging people to boycott horse drawn carriage rides.

But maybe she takes her compassion advice from Alexa, who, although is also vegetarian, doesn’t mind killing the animals she hates.

Geez.

Take a look and decide for yourself.

Will we be singing with glee after we discover vegetarian Dianna’s wearing a fake fur coat? Or is she way off key and wearing a cruel real one?

Jenna Ushkowitz is doing so much to help the environment, she has us singing with Glee.

The television star not only stays away from meat, but she does her best to save water.

“Not running the water when I brush my teeth, not running the shower too long, and I’m a vegetarian,” Ushkowitz said, when asked by Mother Nature Network how she helps to protect the environment.

Jenna the water conserving vegetarian. Lea Michele bucking cruelty. Does Glee have a caring bunch or what?

Look for some Madonna renditions in the upcoming episodes of Glee.

“We have her whole catalog. We’re all going through her music and thinking about what songs we’d like to do.”

Like a veggie Virgin.  Touching tempeh for the very first time.
