Kristen Bell "Shape" Magazine

Kristen Bell is on the cover of the September 2010 issue of Shape.

The magazine interviewed the vegetarian actress who gave her 30 rules to live by that include growing her own organic herbs and vegetables, using eco-friendly handbags and avoiding dairy with the occasional “cheat.”

Tip 24 is to “splurge wisely,” and for Bell, that means spending her money on sustainable fashion for a good cause.

“I don’t mind paying a bit more for things made with sustainable materials,” Bell said. “I love FEED bags by Ellen Gustafson and Lauren Bush [from $60; feedprojects.com]. They’re eco-friendly, and most of the proceeds go to feeding and educating children around the world.”

Ellen DeGeneres "Shape"

In this month’s issue of Shape, Ellen DeGeneres reveals that although today it’s all about eating vegan, years ago she was a horrible eater, downing anything from cheeseburgers to steak.

“I can’t believe how irresponsible I was, eating what I ate,” she said. “All I did was eat. Cheeseburgers, fried chicken, fried things.”

Today she doesn’t starve herself, but consumes copious amounts of anything that grows in the ground, a prescription of “no animals, no dairy, nothing processed; a lot of soup, veggies, rice, beans, legumes.”

She opts for healthier fried “things,” as she revealed her breakfast for the morning of the interview as a “bok choy rice stir-fry thing.”

“I want to be on my toes; I want to have energy,” she added. “And as much as the diet seems like a sacrifice, it’s helping me.”

Julius-Louis Dreyfus is on the cover of the April issue of Shape magazine. Inside, the old “Seinfeld” sidekick and The New Adventures of Old Christine actress says she feels “guilty” for not being a vegetarian.

“I love vegetables— I should be a vegetarian, and I feel guilty saying I’m not,” says Julia. “But I like meat and chicken. So I buy organic foods whenever they’re available and shop at my local farmers’ market whenever I can. There’s something cozy about it. It’s a very friendly environment; you get to know the farmers. Plus, it’s better for the earth because the food is grown nearby, not flown in from some faraway place like South America.”

Has reading the teleprompter over all these years affected Julia’s vision? Has she not been to one of her “local” grocery stores and seen the abundant supply of fake chicken and other meats?

Thank goodness she’s at least getting her fruits and veggies local to help offset some of that meat and chicken carbon footprint.

“My biggest food vice is bacon,” she said. “In fact, I don’t keep bacon in my house — that would be way too tempting.”

There’s a substitute for that too, Julia.

Maybe the old Christine should go on some new adventures to the soy meat area the next time she goes shopping for some organic food.
