Who Would You: Jillian Michaels Or Bob Harper

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, August 5th, 2009 in Polls/Surveys, Reality TV, Who Would You.

Update: Bob Harper is now officially vegetarian! Read about how he dropped 100 points on his cholesterol in the September ’09 issues of Vegetarian Times.

Biggest Loser coaches Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper are not vegetarians-yet!

But we have a sneaky suspicion at least one of them is going all the way sooner or later.

Jillian has announced she’s given up almost all meat in her diet, with the exception of fish, in an effort to go green. And Bob just can’t stop Tweeting about vegan cheese and almond milk.

So between the two Biggest Losers stars who have a thing for the veg life, even if it’s part time, who would you rather…

Kim Kardashian Keeping Up With Tofu, Soy Cheese, Veggie Burgers

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, May 1st, 2009 in Food & Drink, Reality TV.

Premiere Of Wonderful World At The 2009 Tribeca Film Festival

If you thought Kim Kardashian was looking hotter these days, maybe it’s because she’s following a macrobiotic diet that keeps her away from burgers and fries.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians reality TV star told US Weekly Magazine that lately she’s been eating lots of tofu, quinoa, soy cheese, and veggie burgers.

If she keeps this up, she may become vegetarian before sister Khloe does.

The diet change complements her workout regime of 2 hours a day in preparation for filming her 3 part fitness DVD series titled, Fit In Your Jeans By Friday.

Sure hope Kim continues her veggie burger with soy cheese habit once she slips into those  jeans on Friday.

Hell’s Kitchen Ben Thinks Tuna Is Vegetarian

Take a good look at this man, folks. If he is preparing your vegetarian meal, run away and don’t eat it.

Twenty-six year old Ben from Chicago, IL is the latest contestant to burn in Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen.

After last week’s performance, we’re not surprised.

You see, Ben asked Gordon if a vegetarian salad needed tuna.

The question resulted in a slew of tirades from Ramsay, but Ben just didn’t get it.

Later to the camera, Ben boasts the only reason Ramsay yelled at him is because Ramsay see him as a potential winner in the contest.

Maybe Ben himself has been eating too much tuna like Jeremy Piven and is suffering from some sort of mental confusion from mercury poisoning.

Susan Boyle Makeover Includes Going Vegan?

Susan Boyle became an overnight superstar after appearing on the UK competition show, Britain’s Got Talent.

Looking what some called plain and homely on the outside, Susan stunned every audience member with her majestic singing voice. To get the experience the Brits got that evening, watch the video.

As soon as a star is born, she’s bombarded by people looking to make her over, and Susan is no exception. The photos above show what the Chicago Tribune published as an example of what Susan can do with her outward appearance.

The LA Times blog got wind of this and said no way! Leave Susan the way she is.

“Don’t put Susan on a portion-controlled vegan diet, send her to spinning classes and celebrity fitness Boot Camps and give her veneers, a faux tan, a personal trainer, a makeup artist and a personal stylist.”

“And no expensive Sally Hershberger highlights and haircuts, please!”

At the Veg Star, we’re all about be yourself, but we have to disagree with one thing: Let Susan be vegan!

Amazing Race’s Mike White Went Two Days Without Solid Food

The Amazing Race has a history of not being a very kind race for vegetarians, and this season’s show proved no different.

Mike White was the poster boy for veganism on the show. His father and race partner, Mel, told Buddy TV.com Mike had a hard time finding vegan food.

“Mike is a vegan, and there was hardly any food that he could eat along the way and he didn’t compromise, so there were times where he hadn’t eaten for two days, anything solid,” Mel White said.

Mike White is a successful writer, who’s credits include Nacho Libre and School of Rock.

Last year, vegetarian contestant Terence Gerchberg attempted to eat sheep in an eating challenge, but lost-both the contest and his ability to keep the food down.

A vegetarian last year. A vegan this year. Clearly this isn’t something novel to Amazing Race, nor is a meatless eater novel to reality TV. Is it time the producers of these shows make reasonable accommodations for contestants with dietary preferences?
