Joanne Rose And Tommy Tofu Save Kids With Vegetables

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, November 26th, 2008 in Actresses, Authors, Children, Food & Drink.

Children and vegetables don’t always mix. But celebrities and vegetables do.

Joanne Rose is an Australian born actress who has made several appearances on the American big screen, including “CSI: New York”.

She is also one of the original lettuce ladies of PETA and has authored several books, including a children’s book, Tommy Tofu Saves the Day.

Tommy Tofu and several friends, including Polly Potato, Casey Carrot, Zachary Zucchini and Lucy Lettuce help teach kids why veganism is important. And even if you and your child aren’t vegan, they still do a lot to emphasize the importance of fruits and vegetables.

The book has received praise from noteworthy celebrities, including Skinny Bitch author Rory Freedman, who thought it was “adorable, educational, and fun.” Ed Begley Jr. said it was “creative and educational at the same time,” and a “must have for every child.”

Pamela Anderson Signs Pact With The Leather Devil

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, November 21st, 2008 in Actresses, Fashion, Not So Vegetarian.

Vivienne Westwood Red Label - LFW Spring Summer 2009 - Runway

Pamela Anderson has been one of the most outspoken celebrities for vegetarianism and against animal cruelty. Therefore, it’s quite a surprise to learn she has singed a deal to be the face of fashion designer Vivienne Westwood.

The designer has stopped using fur in her creations. However, she has a long way to go before she can call herself cruelty-free. Leather is still being used to dress the svelte models who walk her runway and the same fashion designs will make their way to the consumer, such as the fuchsia leather suit from the spring 2009 collection.

Some vegetarians have different standards when it comes to eating versus clothing, but since Pamela Anderson has been so pro-vegan, working with PETA, protesting against Kentucky Fried Chicken, and calling out a certain singer for the clothing she chose to wear, it’s not something you would expect from her.

She even has expressed a desire to design her own line of vegan shoes, after finding out one of her favorite kind, Ugg boots, contain sheepskin.

Is it possible she just doesn’t know?

Shortly after she began taping “Big Brother” in Australia, it was revealed that KFC, a company she protested against so heavily, was a sponsor for the show. Pammie claimed to know nothing of it. Or did she?

Money sometimes makes you forgetful. The Vivienne Westwood deal is worth six figures. Still, other vegetarian stars don’t have problems with dementia. Leona Lewis turned down over a million to avoid being associated with a store that sold fur.

Pamela Anderson gives press conference in Moscow

Now that Obama has been elected, everyone has their ideas for what he should be doing during his term, including celebrities.

Pamela Anderson took it upon herself to write a letter to Obama asking him to promote vegetarianism and end animal testing, among other things.

“Promote vegetarianism-which would help end world hunger- crack down on factory farming that is killing the environment and slaughtering so many animals- wastefully and carelessly and its unhealthy/and its just impractical- to think this is monitored/regulated effectively…”

“Stop all these garbage, wasteful and ineffective ,ancient animal tests (from 80 years ago?)- create a REAL working dedicated and active group of people assigned to this issue- science is suppose to be progressive?”

“We need to get with it- update like Europe has its an embarrassment and nobody wishes this senseless cruelty to go on.”

They’re red, they’re flashy, but best of all, they’re cruelty-free. There’s a close-up of Sandra’s feet if you watch the video.

French Actress Marion Cotillard Admires Vegan Natalie Portman

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, November 16th, 2008 in Actresses.

80th Annual Academy Awards - Arrivals

Natalie Portman has gained admiration by French actress Marion Cotillard for her commitment to being cruelty free and environmentally friendly when designing her shoes from the Té Casan line.

Cotillard, who is the first person to win an Oscar for a French-language performance, as Edith Piaf in La Vie En Rose was asked in the September/October 2008 issue of French magazine Néoplanète if she planned to develop a similar eco-friendly brand.

“That’s not a priority. But I admire Natalie’s commitment a lot. If I had to do something remarkable for the planet, I’d buy fields where [there]are grown OMG (transgenic plants). Once bought, I’d redistribute them to farmers who would commit themselves to grow in danger local vegetables!”

Apparently, she’s not the only one who admires Natalie. A whopping 63% of you would rather have veggie burger lunch with Natalie vs. Carrie Underwood! And you can still show your love for Portman or Underwood. The poll is still open. Go practice some veggie democracy!
