“I started going vegan, and I never felt better,” Dewan said. “I lost water weight and slimmed and toned down without having to do as much.”

You’ve seen those commercials for “Happy Cows” sponsored by the California Milk Advisory Board where cows are seen roaming freely in the pasture, females get a chance to gossip while the bulls attempt to speak French in hopes procreating before slaughter time.

Not everyone agrees with the idyllic picture portrayed by the CMAB and Big Love actress Ginnifer Goodwin has written her thoughts to the Federal Trade Commission regarding what animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says are deceptive practices in these campaigns.

“In show business, we often have good reason for making people believe things that aren’t true, but there is no excuse for the CMAB’s misrepresentation of the milk industry,” writes Goodwin. “[C]onsumers deserve better than to be fed cheerful lies about ‘happy cows.'”

Goodwin goes on to say that the reality is most cows in California are confined in crammed spaces filled with dirt and their own excrement, and suffer udder infections as a result of being forced to produce unnatural amounts of milk induced through administering drugs.

Watch the video below to see an example of the CMAB commercials.

Alicia Silverstone visited Jimmy Fallon for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon and brought along some vegan food from NYC restaurants Pure Food and Wine,Candle 79 and Sacred Chow.

Alicia explains to Jimmy what seitan is, and its benefits.

Fallon samples a tempeh reuben, but cautions against tasting it at first in case there’s real mayonnaise, something Fallon says “taste like pus.”

“Which is fair, because that’s what dairy is,” Alicia says. “Dairy is pus and blood.”

Thankfully, it’s all vegan, no pus and delicious.

When Kal Penn and co-star John Cho finally made it to White Castle in the first of the Harold and Kumar series, Kal chowed down on vegetarian “White Castle burgers” specially prepared for him.

Have you ever wondered what goes into those beautiful food scenes on television? How does a vegan actress appear to be eating turkey, when it’s really made of soybeans?

The New York Times has the lowdown on several grub events that took place in Hollywood film, and what went on behind the scenes so the actors could munch smoothly.

In the 2008 film, Pride and Glory, for example, three of the actresses were vegetarian or vegan, including Lake Bell.

Ruth DiPasquale, an assistant property master for the film, called a vegan chef to help create a Christmas dinner scene with ham as the centrepiece. Bell and the other veg actresses ate pieces of “sham ham.”

Says the New York Times:

“She ended up piling slices of sham ham made from soybeans near the real stuff, careful to make sure the two versions never touched.”

Actress Ginnifer Goodwin took a stand for animals during the Humane Society’s Taking Action For Animals rally on Capitol Hill yesterday.

“As long as we keep sharing there will be a mass domino effect. And only good can come of that,” Goodwin said, praising the Humane Society of the United States’ efforts for better animal protection laws.

Ginnifer was one of several celebrities to take part in the HSUS TAFA event.

So between the two HBO hotties, who would you rather…

Natalie Portman will be making a special guest appearance on Bravo’s Top Chef in the upcoming season six, which premiers Wednesday, August 26th at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Since Nat is a hard core vegan, the cheftestants will probably be given the challenge of whipping up something meatless, eggless, and dairyless for the actress.

Top Chef had a vegan experience last year, when the Food Fighters were invited during the Thanksgiving episode and requested the chefs cater for their crew of 60 people, some of which were vegetarian.

The vegan cornbread stole the show last year. Will another veg dish be a big hit?

Crossing our fingers none of the cheftestants “chicken” out like last year’s Carla and go with a meaty dish when they really wanted to make a vegetarian one.
