Vegetarian Star

During her visit to India for the reality TV show “Bigg Boss 4,” Pamela Anderson has fallen in love with Indian food, especially a dish called paneer tikka.

“The food here is really nice. I am a vegetarian and just ate paneer tikka, which was quite spicy,” Anderson said, according to the Times of India.

The dish involves placing pieces of spiced paneer cheese on skewers in a shish-kabob fashion. Paneer cheese, made by curdling heated milk with lemon juice or food acid, is one of the few cheeses that does not involve using rennet, a product from a calf’s stomach, in the processing, making it more suitable for stricter vegetarians.

Pamela Anderson would like to meet with Jewish leaders in Israel to persuade them to ban the use of fur in traditional Hasic headwear, reports E! online.

Anderson is visiting the country as a guest judge for its version of “Dancing With The Stars.”

While stating that Israel was a “progressive nation” and an “example for the rest of the world,” the former Baywatch actresses said it’s time for a change when it comes to wearing animals to represent one’s sect.

“It’s almost 2011. There are so many alternatives to things,” she said. “We can be compassionate in our choices.”

A bill that would potentially restrict the use of fur in headwear has been placed on hold due to a large percentage of voters being Hasidic. But some anti-fur organizations have found a large majority of the Israeli public would like to do away with fur completely.

Pamela Anderson is one hot activist. Not just good looking, but “hot,” as in she has a tireless passion for helping both animals and people. The longtime vegetarian has recently announced she’s donating the money from her most recent Playboy Cover shoot to Waves 4 Water, a charity that brings clean drinking water to people who have trouble accessing it.

“Waves 4 water are my heroes,” Anderson told TMZ. “They get things done… and yes, Playboy wrote them a check when I shot the cover directly for 25Gs. I’ve also donated personally. I wish I could do more. Indonesia, Haiti and Pakistan are all in need of these filters. Spread the word!”

Water is something the bottle carrying wealthy and industrialized world takes for granted, but according to Water.org., the liquid necessity is so hard to come by in a sanitized state in other parts of globe, every 20 seconds a child dies from a water-related disease.

This weekend at PETA’s 30th anniversary gala, Pamela Anderson revealed she thinks eating vegan has helped her symptoms of Hepatitis C, a disease she contracted in 2002.

“I have Hepatitis C and I feel great, which I think has a lot to do with my diet,” Anderson said. “I feel better, I always feel healthy, but I feel better.”

A vegetarian diet has been shown to ease several ailments of the liver, including the final stages of liver failure, but one study found a diet in vegetable proteins helped with a condition known as Hepatic Encephalopathy, sometimes a complication of Hepatitis C that is marked by changes in mental processes like brain fogginess, confusion and forgetfulness.

Published in Digestive Diseases and Sciences, the study found that a “vegetable-protein diet resulted in overall clinical improvement, decreased hepatic encephalopathy index scores, decreased arterial ammonia levels, improved performance on intellectual tasks, and in one case, markedly improved protein tolerance.”

Restaurant aren’t always on target when naming dishes after celebrities. Some can’t spell Carrie Underwood’s name correctly or remember that she doesn’t eat meat. Something tells us Natalie Portman wouldn’t eat her own lobster salad at a New York eatery. But finally, a family owned restaurant in the midwest has gotten it right with the Vegetarian Pamela Anderson sandwich.

Tortas Guicho Dominguez y el Cubanito in Indianapolis, Indiana (that’s quite a mouthful to blurt out where to eat when you’re hungry) has a sandwich on the menu fit for the sex symbol actress to consume, containing green bell peppers, mozzarella, and mushrooms.

Comedy Central presented The Roast of David Hasselhoff, where the famous took jabs, made wisecracks and downright humiliated the actor about his life, including some of the more embarrassing moments, like the video that made its way on the Internet of him lying on the floor drunk trying to eat a cheeseburger.

Former Baywatch actress and fellow castmate Pamela Anderson was present and she took the video as the opportunity to state her pro-vegetarian views.

“David, I have to say, when I saw the video of you lying on the floor — drunk, broken down, cheeseburger meat falling from your mouth — I felt so sad. For that cow.”

The video incident caused David to later reveal to the public he was a recovering alcoholic, which Anderson took a shot at as well.

“David took his role on Baywatch very seriously. You know, one time I actually saw him rescue a real person who was drowning. David rescued the man, pulled him ashore, gave him mouth-to-mouth…and, of course, the man immediately died of alcohol poisoning.”

The clip of Anderson’s jokes from the roast can be viewed below.
