Vegetarian Star

There will never be an end to the discussion as to why vegan Ellen DeGeneres chose to represent Cover Girl, a cosmetics company that still tests on animals. But now there’s another famous face setting an example by fronting a beauty campaign for a brand that’s well established and cruelty-free.

Ashley Greene has signed on to be the face of Avon. Her new gig doesn’t involve resisting cravings of human or animal blood because Avon was the first major cosmetics company to end animal testing on both on its finished product and ingredients in 1989. For this, PETA gives Greene a vegan cookie.

Could a Twilight vegetarian vampire be a real vegan?

Ashley Greene was spotted taking her dog for a walk before stopping by vegan restaurant Real Food Daily for lunch.

Greene plays Alice Cullen in the Twilight, Eclipse and New Moon movies about a family of vegetarian vampires who call themselves such because they don’t eat humans like other vampires do, but they still eat animals in the wild.

If you haven’t had enough of this “vegetarian” vampire talk with the Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse sagas, there’s more to satisfy your cravings of blood sucking creatures pretending to be vegetarians just because they don’t eat people.

But people like vampires, whether they eat meat, veggie burgers, or people, and the series premiere of The Vampire Diaries was the most watched in The CW network’s history, drawing 4.8 million viewers, topping 90210‘s 2008 debut, according to Tvguidge.com.

If it’s any consolation, vegetarian vampires, like Stefan pictured on the right, suffer ridicule and are ostracized like human do sometimes.

From tuftsdaily.com:

“The show follows Elena (Nina Dobrev), a tragically beautiful high-school student who has recently suffered her parents’ deaths. She is immediately attracted to Stefan (Paul Wesley), a handsome transfer student with a mysterious air. Of course, Stefan is a centuries-old vampire who refuses to feed on humans and has returned to his hometown for Elena, who is the splitting image of his lost love Katherine. His pursuit is complicated, however, by the arrival of his evil brother Damon (Somerhalder), who has been feeding on townspeople and taunting Stefan about his “vegetarian” status.”

Catch The Vampire Diaries Thursdays at 8/7c on The CW.

Styna Whatman

The Twilight vegetarian vampires of Forks, Washington are like the vegetarian humans who still eat chicken and fish.

NOT vegetarian.

They don’t eat humans, but instead feast on the blood of animals.

A lady named Styna Whatman very closely resembles Ashley Greene and her character from Twilight, Alice Cullen.

So much she cut her hair, moved to Forks, Washington and worked as “Alice Cullen” in a flower and gift shop named Leppell’s.

What’s cool?

Styna is a real vegetarian vampire.

In an email sent to the Veg Star, Styna writes, “I’m vegan and strongly support animal rights.”

“Since Twilight reaches such a large audience, it’d be a great way to send the cruelty-free message to them!”

Styna is featured in an MTV documentary about the town of Forks, Washington, Twilight In Forks: The Saga of the Real Town by York Baur and Jason Brown, due for release on October 15.

Watch the clip below for a preview and to hear Styna describe reactions in Forks when the real vegetarian vampire paid the city a visit!

“[Not eating meat] helps a lot of people. Like, people don’t understand that eating red meats can literally be dangerous. Stop eating the red meat and you’ll feel lighter and more harmonious.”

—-Twilight actress Christian Serratos, in a feature by MTV.com on how the stars of the vampire romance series are making a difference.

There are plenty of vegetarians that can vouch for feeling better once they take the pork off their fork.

What changes did you notice after you first became a vegetarian or vegan?

A vegetarian will play a vampire in the third installment of the Twilight series, Eclipse, but not one of the “vegetarian” vampires.

Bryce Dallas Howard has been cast as Victoria (previously played by Rachelle Lefevre), a mean-spirited vampire who’s out to get Bella.

Howard was inspired to go vegan by Joaquin Phoenix, but went back to vegetarian during her pregnancy.

Eclipse is scheduled to begin filming in August.

The Twilight films are based on a novel series by author Stephenie Meyer, and feature the Cullen family, a clan of “vegetarian” vampires who feast on animals instead of people.

One of the main characters and love interest of vegetarian vampire Edward Cullen, Bella (Kristen Stewart), is a real vegetarian who likes Gardenburgers.
