Sigh. Celebrities. Always playing diva about something.

“For Thanksgiving we have to make a Tofurkey! It doesn’t sound right! It’s gonna be jiggly and weird. I’m from Texas – I’d fry a steak. We eat all casseroles and giblets!”

–Jessica Simpson, to Jimmy Fallon, according to People, on how soon to be husband Eric Johnson won’t be eating drumsticks this Thursday as he’s a vegan.

Tofurky.

FYI, Tofurky isn’t jiggly–it’s actually a firm loaf like any other prepared turkey, that comes stuffed with wild rice and bread crumbs and even vegan down to the gravy.

This Dish Is Veg has some tips for cooking the no-bird, which includes alternative methods to the ones on the box.

[picappgallerysingle id="9790928"]So former NFL player Eric Johnson and Jessica Simpson are engaged, with an expected wedding date by the end of the year. Terrific! More importantly, however, is the expected date that Eric will open his chain of vegan fast food restaurants!

From E! Online:

“His new one is a plan to start a fast-food vegan restaurant in L.A. and eventually expand them across the country,” says a pal of the couple. “Jessica’s supportive of everything he wants to do, so she’s into it.”

Times of the Internet is reporting that a recent edition of In Touch claims Jessica Simpson is getting into vegan eating and cooking because her boyfriend, New Orleans Saints’ Tight End Eric Johnson, is vegan.

“Eric is a vegan, so there’s a lot of foods he won’t eat,” a source said.

Simpson has gone so far as to hire a chef to teach her some vegan food secrets so she can prepare them for Eric.

“She barely knew where the kitchen was before. But she is motivated now, because she knows it makes Eric happy,” the source added.

If this gossip is valid, this news is good to hear about Jessica, but even 10 times better to hear a professional NFL player is living on an entirely plant-based diet. One strike against the stereotype that vegetarian men are weak, wimpy and non-athletic. And one step closer to getting another naked man to pose in PETA’s provocative ads so the veggie ladies can have their share of meatless eye candy.

Jessica Simpson‘s recent vegan Tweets have prompted PETA to send her a care package.

Along with a copy of their latest Vegetarian Starter Kit, Jessica will receive Alicia Silverstone‘s vegan cookbook, The Kind Diet.

Should we expect to see Tweets about Jessica’s love for Pecan Crusted Seitan or Vegan Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups in the future?

Jessica Simpson‘s Tweets about veganism appear to be more than just a passing phase.

The actress and singer not only likes Earth Balance vegan butter and tofu, she’s gone all the way with a new vegan diet.

“Shocked my system with a vegan diet, special Pu-erh tea from China, and cupping since friday! Who am I right now? This might be too clean!”

Simpson wouldn’t be the first celebrity to try out the veggie lifestyle, for diet or health reasons. And there are more than enough Hollywood starlets who go veg, quit, and bad mouth the experience.

Crossing our fingers Jessica stays in love with an animal-free diet longer than she did with Nick Lachey.
