Vegetarian Star

The Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine is a non-profit organization that promotes a veggie diet and lifestyle to prevent and treat diseases like diabetes, as well as advocates the advancement of medical research without the testing on animals.

The group recently held a benefit at Peter and Mary Max’s in New York city, where veg celebrities like Moby, Dan Piraro, and Dreama Walker attended.

Guess that means Dreama kept her vegetarian ways.

If you recall, the Gossip Girl actress embarked on a 30-day vegan diet after watching the Joaquin Phoenix narrated documentary, Earthlings. She had said then she probably would continue, but might see how her body would react to dairy.

With all the vegan food to choose from at the event, Dreama certainly didn’t have to worry about straying from vegan that night, as food from fine restaurants like  Bonobo’s, 4-Course Vegan and Candle 79 was served.

When vegan artist Peter Max wasn’t dining at Candle Cafe in his neighborhood, he was busy putting 44 faces on President Barack Obama.

Max has painted portraits of the U.S.’s last five presidents, and to celebrate Obama as the 44th president, Max painted 44 different portraits.

He used numerous photos provided to him by CBS and began working before the Christmas Holiday season.

He debuted the portraits CBS’ “The Early Show” last month.

This is not the first of a series of portraits Max has completed. After the 9/11 tragedy, he took nine months to paint all 343 faces of the firefighters who died that day for the American Heroes’ project, a gift to the firefighters’ families.

A portion of the money generated from the Obama portraits will go towards orphanages, according to Max.

“I’m 68, but if you saw me you’d think I’m 45. That’s because I’ve been a vegan for eight years. My wife and I walk every night two miles from this vegan restaurant home. I eat there about four times a week. Something about being a vegan; it’s life-prolonging.”

—Artist Peter Max, in an interview. The vegan eatery he walks from, Candle Cafe, is the casual dining sister restaurant to Candle 79, one of the top eight vegetarian restaurants in the country.

He has great admiration for Dr. Joel Fuhrman, the vegan doctor who influenced singer Alanis Morissette to recently go vegan.

Farm Sanctuary, an organization created to combat issues of animal abuse on farms,  will be holding a benefit on December 4th, 2008 at the Art Director’s Club in New York City.

“Winter Wonderland,” will feature gourmet food from NYC’s best vegetarian restaurants, a silent auction, and of course, celebrities to mingle with, like Corey Feldman.

Sure hope he’s wearing more than what he was in the Give Peas a Chance ad, which played upon one John Lennon and Yoko Ono did years ago. New York’s a little cold in December for that, Corey.

Other notables you might get to rub elbows with are Jennifer Coolidge, Peter Max, Patrick McDonnell, Tatum O’Neal,
Daniela Sea, Ally Sheedy, Princess Superstar, Loretta Swit, and
Justin Theroux.

General admission tickets are $100, so if you’re a young, freshly graduated from college adult or pinching pennies, put some back from your paycheck you got TODAY. It’s for a great cause and will put you in the mood for the season.

And who knows? Corey might not be wearing much after all.
