Vegetarian Star

Jared Leto took home an Oscar for his role in Dallas Buyers Club this weekend.

Leto, who won for Best Supporting Actor in the film, had a list of those to thank, much like any other star would.

While many thank their family, friends and crew on the set, Leto wanted to extend his thanks to those that helped feed him.

Wolfgang Puck is a veteran to catering for both the Academy Awards and vegans.

Not only has he worked tirelessly ensuring the stars who follow a plant-based diet have a selection to choose from at awards ceremonies, he’s also fed PETA supporters at its event.

Stars at this year’s festivities were treated to dozens of vegetarian and vegan goodies, some of which may have included Puck’s Gluten-Free Chocolate Cupcakes with Almond Frosting.

Wolfgang Puck has once again took charge of the catering for the annual post Oscar bash.

Puck saw to it that a vegetarian paella was put on the list for the likes of stars like Natalie Portman, who won Best Actress in a Leading Role for Black Swan.

Paella is a rice-based dish that originated in the Valencia region of Spain that may contain ingredients even many carnivores wouldn’t dream of eating.

Likes snails. Eww!

Russell Brand‘s a pro at being vegetarian and constantly shows up on PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Alive contest lists.

So when the foul mouthed meatless bad boy was seen wearing what appeared to be snakeskin boots at the Vanity Fair Oscars bash, he had to do some serious PR moves, quick.

“They’re fake. Specially made, don’t panic.”

The Veg Star never doubted Brand for a minute!

Wolfgang Puck once again did an incredible job of taking care of people’s hunger pains during the 82 annual Academy Awards Governor’s Ball.

Esquire magazine got a brief exposure during Puck’s busiest moments before the ball, and reports that everyone had the option of a personal pot pie, including vegetarians.

Puck received about 10 vegetarian orders in all.

The Cove took home an Oscar for Best Docmentary yesterday at the 82nd Annual Academy Awards.

Ecorazzi reports that director Louie Psihoyos had this to say in his acceptance speech:

“I just want to say it was an honor to work on this film and to try make an entertaining film that also tries to enlighten everybody. I have to thank Jim Clark who financed the film and who was also kind of the guiding wisdom behind the film, Paula DuPre Presman, my producing partner, and my hero, Rick O’Barry, who is not only a hero to this species but to all species.”

The film depicts the killings of dolphins in Japan that are later sold as meat.

Looks like animal activist Ric O’Barry tried to solicit a few last votes American Idol style!

Once again, Wolfgang Puck will be in charge of catering the Academy Awards governor’s ball.

According to Eonline, Puck has been preparing dishes for everyone who attends for the past 16 years.

And when Puck says everyone, he includes the vegetarians.

“We have almost everything,” Puck said. “If somebody says, ‘I want salmon,’ we have salmon. If somebody wants vegetarian, we make it. It’s really just like a restaurant.”

Puck is no stranger to more compassionate food.

He made vegan pizza with Ellen DeGeneres on her daytime talk show, tossed the tofu for a party benefiting the Best Friends Animal Society and has spoken out on the cruel conditions factory farm animals endure.

Puck deserves a statuette of his own–one that’s delicious, edible, milk and butter free, caramel flavored…

Besides donning her lovely vegan shoes and ethical jewelry at the Academy Awards recently, vegan Natalie Portman also took a stab at a meat processing plant. 

She and Ben Stiller presented an award together, and Ben decided to imitate the recent makeover, or shall we say unmakeover, of vegan Joaquin Phoenix, sporting a long scruffy beard and matching unkempt hairdo, complete with weirdo behavior.

Portman said, “You look like you work in a Hasidic meth lab.”

Many are speculating Portman was referring to a 2008 federal raid on a Hasidic-owned and operated Agriprocessors meat processing plant in Postville, Iowa.

Authorities discovered several infractions, including equipment for producing methamphetamines.

This is the same plant at which PETA secretly recorded a video on its controversial slaughter practices. 

Other allegations included rabbis insulting workers while throwing meat at them, undocumented and illegal workers, and various health and safety issues.
