Vegetarian Star

When we first heard about Ginnifer Goodwin picking up a take out order at Vegan Glory, we had no idea what was in the bag. Now, we’re getting some hints.

When asked by Blackbookmag.com where she liked to hang while in L.A., Goodwin replied:

“Oh, I’ll give you LA. My favorite restaurant is this little spot called Vegan Glory, in a strip mall on Beverly. They have the most phenomenal tacos. Are you a vegan? I am, and that’s where I get my taco fix. I recommend the faux beef tacos—absolutely!”

Okay, okay, we get it Ginnifer. You gotta have your vegan tacos or the set of Big Love gets really tense and ugly.

Wonder if she ever runs into Heather Mills and her singing child there?

“Eat Green. Because food production causes the most damage to the planet. So eat as many plant based foods as possible. Ease away from the meat and dairy. Move towards the whole grains and vegetables and beans and tempeh and all the yummy things out there. I have a book coming out in October called The Kind Diet. It will show you how to eat the most delicious food on the planet but also [keeping it] green. Every little bit makes a difference so the more vegetarian meals you have the better.”

—-Actress and activist Alicia Silverstone, in a behind the scenes photo shoot for 944 magazine.

Pamela Anderson’s dreamed up cruelty-free fashion line is almost here!

Anderson has teamed up with fashion designer Richie Rich to create a line of environmentally friendly and animal-free shoes and casual clothing that includes hooded tops, skirts, and swimwear as part of a special line of the Muse brand.

If Pamela had it her way, she wouldn’t wear any clothing.  Luckily, she thought of the rest of us who can’t prance around naked at work all day and is making it easier to have an ethical closet.

“I really don’t like to wear clothes,” Pamela said. “I would rather go naked. But I love Richie’s designs, so I agreed to be part of Muse.”

Richie Rich, part of fashion duo Heatherette, said of Pamela, “Pam is an outdoorsy and summer kind of girl who I have been friends with forever. We share the same wild and crazy aesthetic. And she has long been my inspiration. Even though Pam prefers not to wear clothes, she looks great in sexy dresses. She reminds me of Marilyn Monroe and Brigitte Bardot.”

Pamela expressed interest in having her own shoe line after learning her favorite pair of boots, Ugg boots, were made of sheepskin.

The new cruelty-free Muse line is set to debut this summer.

The 23rd annual Genesis Awards were held this weekend and vegan Heather Mills was present with a very handsome companion: a golden Labrador retriever, one of the dogs who played Marley in the Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson hit movie, Marley & Me.

The Genesis Awards are held annually to recognize celebrities and notable public figures that have made the biggest bark (had to throw that pun in) for animal rights.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi received the Wyler Awards this year. The couple recently became vegan and were huge Proposition 2 (which allows some farm animals to move around freely) supporters last year.

It’s no secret that environmentalism and vegetarian go hand in hand, and what other Hollywood star to demonstrate this than Ed Begley, Jr. After all, it is his name Bones actress Emily Deschanel screams in the dark in the name of saving energy.

He recently discussed his motivations for going green as well as vegetarian.

You’ve been green before green became trendy. What made you decide to get involved in sustainable living?
It was growing up in smoggy L.A. I started in 1970 because I’d lived for 20 years, from 1949-1970, with horrible, choking smog and I got fed up with it one day. I wanted to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem. So I bought an electric car for $950, started recycling, composting, I rode my bike, took the bus, shut out the lights, turned off the water. I did as many things as I could on a very modest budget. What happened next I didn’t count on. I was doing it for the environment and realized I was saving money. I was a broke actor in 1970 and couldn’t afford fancy solar panels or something like that, so I just did cheap stuff and I realized I was saving dough. I liked that, obviously. Who doesn’t like that? And I did more and I saved more dough, and so 39 years late, I’m still doing it.

I read that you are a vegetarian. Was becoming a vegetarian something you did prior to green living, or was it a part of it?
It was part of the whole environmental choice. It was a 1970 choice to be green, to eat lower on the food chain. I had heard it was better for the environment. It took less water, less land, less energy to grow 1 pound of broccoli than a pound of beef. So, for that reason, and in a humane world, the kinds of things that go on in slaughterhouses. It’s not like the old days of raising cows out in a pasture and I’m sorry Bessie but you’ve got to die so we can live. It’s not like that anymore. It’s very bad conditions in these factory farms. The hogs, chickens, cows and I don’t want to be a part of that. But for my own health, I thought it was better to eat a plant based diet. I’m going to be 60 soon and I have boundless energy and I feel really good so I’m all for it.

An affordable, ethical, vegan shoe? Get outta here!

Yes you can have your feet and vegan too with Beyond Skin, a company that specializes in completely leather-free, PVC-free (so eco-friendly too),  shoes at a price for which you won’t fork over an entire paycheck.

Vegetarian and vegan celebrities like Anne Hathaway, Chrissie Hynde, Emily Deschanel, Leona Lewis, and Natalie Portman have all found these to be suitable for their star-likeness, so you know you’ll be walking around in class.

A representative from Beyond Skin, Natalie, recently spoke to GirlieGirlArmy about the line.

Do you ever get tired of explaining why you create non-leather shoes?
We don’t always hammer home the fact we are a leather-free label, as we have found that it tends to turn non vegetarians off before you have even introduced them to the product.  We prefer to approach our sales with the aesthetic of the product first and the leather and cruelty-free element comes later.  It is however, incredibly important to open dialogue about why we do not use certain materials and educate people on the impact and the how’s and why’s.  Plus most importantly we are passionate about it which often has an important affect when people witness the sincerity of what we are saying.

What is your personal favorite shoe you have ever designed?  Why?
One of my personal favourites from our line is the Cherub shoe.  It is comfortable, quirky and has a retro feel with a contemporary shape.  I have them in red faux felt and everyone always asked about them whenever I trot about in them.

Doesn’t the title make this story sound hot? Emily Deschanel screaming “Ed Begley” in the dark? It’s only in the name of being eco-friendly, though. Sorry to disappoint those looking for something more titillating.

The vegan star of Fox’s “Bones” recently did an interview with Health where she revealed environmentalist Ed Begley, Jr. played a key role in inspiring her to go green. She says his name aloud if she forgets to turn the lights off in her home. 

“If I leave a light on in my house, which I try not to do, I always say, “Ed Begley, you gotta turn it off.” If I don’t turn it off, my assistant or boyfriend will say, “Ed Begley!””

Emily has been a great proselytizer for the veg life, getting her co-star David Boreanaz to do vegetarian for one day of the week. She even got the recently removed Chairman of Fox, Peter Ligouri, to go vegan, which she considers her proudest green achievement.

“We were at a party, and I said, ‘You’d make a big difference by just trying it for a week.’ I sent him food, and he really stuck to it.”

When asked if she was an ideal eater, Deschanel replied, “Oh my god, I’m not a perfect eater by any means, and I don’t believe in starving yourself. I believe in eating healthfully and being balanced—and being balanced in your mind as well as in your body”

Portia de Rossi is set to star in a new ABC drama called Better Off Ted about a research & development company, Veridian Dynamics, without scruples.

Much of their ideas are generated just to see “what will happen” or “what is possible” including cryonically freezing an employee.

A people freeze? Yikes! Sounds too much like a Zach Morris (Mark-Paul Gosselaar) stunt from Saved By The Bell.

But there is an idea that gets generated at Veridian that’s ethical, test tube meat, and of course dear vegan Portia is totally turned on by it.

“Since I have been a vegan, I have been researching all kinds of ways animals are used in foods, and I see those big warehouses and wonder about what goes on inside,” de Rossi told Buffalo News. “It’s not too far from reality. There are huge corporations that manufacture food and makeup and nuclear weapons.”

It may not be that far from reality.

PETA announced last year it would award a million dollars to the “first person to come up with a method to produce commercially viable quantities of in vitro meat at competitive prices by 2012.”

Entrepreneurs and scientists, get ready, set go!

“Better Off Ted,” premiers this Wednesday on ABC.
