Time Stands Still For Alicia Silverstone At Veg Friendly Geffen Playhouse

Tropic Thunder premiere

Vegan actress Alicia Silverstone is starring in “Time Stands Still,” a play by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, Donald Margulies that’s playing at the Geffen Playhouse

“Time Stands Still” is about a photographer and reporter couple trying to regain a sense of normalcy after the photographer is injured in Iraq. Silverstone plays a friend of the couple.

The Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles is surrounded by many vegetarian restaurants in the Westwood Village, like Native Foods

In addition, it has teamed up with California organic, sustainable vineyards for wine-tasting on Sundays, beginning on February 15.

Good thing, since Alicia is a committed vegan who most definitely needs to grab something delicious during the intermission.

Pamela Anderson Doesn’t Want A Man Like Dear Old Dad

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, February 16th, 2009 in Actresses.

Strutting her stuff in a tiny black jumpsuit, Pamela Anderson leaves a Lucques restaurant

When former Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson was a young girl, she watched her father cut off the head of an animal he had hunted. That led to her becoming vegetarian in her early teens.

The old saying is that a woman wants a man just like dear ol’ dad, but apparently this can never be the case when it comes to beliefs about animals.

There was speculation that her and Kid Rock divorced over him having no problem hunting. We already know he has no problem with fur.

Neither Tommy Lee, nor Rick Salomon, nor Kid Rock have captured her heart permanently.

Pam was seen strutting around town with this unnamed gentleman recently. Could he be Pammie’s new compassionate love?

Alexandra Aitken Not Alienating People With Yoga, Veganism

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, February 16th, 2009 in Actresses, Business.

Although she makes an appearance as the Nightclub girl in her most recent movie, How To Lose Friends and Alienate People, Alexandra Aitken doesn’t have a lot of party gal inside her.

‘I don’t smoke, I don’t drink and I’m vegan,’ she said, according to the UK Daily Mail. ”I meditate for hours every day. It’s given me much more energy.”

Meditation is more than a personal hobby, but a business of hers as well. She’s a yoga teacher, offering classes in Kundalini yoga and Gong Healing-a technique that uses sounds and vibrations to help you relax.

Nothing about a gong or being vibrated sounds relaxing, but we trust Alexandra and thousands of others who rely on the practice.

After completing seven months of intensive training at a California retreat, Alexandra decided to open up shop on her own.

Ellen And Portia To Receive Wyler Award By Humane Society

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, February 13th, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues, TV Hosts.

35th Annual People's Choice Awards - Backstage

Quite possibly Hollywood’s newest vegan couple, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi will be honored for their efforts to improve care for animals at the Humane Society’s Genesis Awards next month.

The Wyler Award, named after the late Genesis Award founder, Gretchen Wyler, is given to celebrities or other public figures who have made the most noise in standing up for the better treatment of animals.

Looks like they’ve made the right choice. Where do we start?

Portia and Ellen both became vegans this year, saying no to every animal product, whether flesh or a byproduct. They both were active in getting the word out on Prop 2, the measure which passed in California to allow certain farm animals to move around freely.

They even share their lifestyle with people who are fortunate enough to be in their presence. The wedding reception menu was completely vegan. Ellen has given out vegan items quite a few times on her television show.

Wow. That’s a lot of hard work, guys. Have a cold one on us. You deserve it!

Ginnifer Goodwin Is Just That Into Being Vegan: Big Love To Her!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, February 6th, 2009 in Actresses.

He's Just Not That Into You Los Angeles Premiere

We told you earlier that Ginnifer Goodwin was spotted picking up a take-out at Vegan Glory restaurant. Now it is confirmed, and unless you watched Conan O’Brien last night, this could be one of the first places you heard it from.

Ginnifer Goodwin is vegan!

The actress who’s new movie, He’s Just Not That Into You, premiers today, appeared on Conan O’Brien last night where she expressed how much she loved being a vegan.

“It’s amazing,” she said of her recent decision. “I don’t need drugs. There’s a party in my body. Every thing’s working appropriately.” She also suggests that if Conan were vegan, they could have parties in their bodies together.

Funny, as Conan brought it up, he said he wanted to touch an area of her personal life that was less sexy (than her role in HBO’s Big Love). Has he watched the Veggie Love video yet?

He jokingly gives her grief when she mentions different types of vegan cheese, asking her if they could make cheese out of anything, including microphones.

You can watch the episode of Conan and Goodwin, with Ginnifer’s appearance starting around minute 28.

Declare Yourself Rebirth of Citizenship Inauguration Kick-off Event in Washington

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi threw a big birthday bash for themselves this weekend.

Both ladies’ birthdays are very close together, Ellen turning 51 on January 26 and Portia turning 36 on January 31.

Lots of celebrities were on the invite list, like Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox and her husband David Arquette, Drew Barrymore, Sacha Baron Cohen and Ben Stiller.

A vegetarian meal was served, of course, and DJ Samantha Ronson, girlfriend of Lindsay Lohan, provided the tunes.

Yes, THE Samantha Ronson, who was upset because Californians voted to approve Proposition 2, a measure to improve the conditions of certain farm animals, but also voted to approve defining marriage as between and man and a woman only.

She had blogged about the results:

“I guess people care more about farm animals than they do their fellow man, that’s really sad to me.”

“Yes, i am glad that the chickens will have more room and better conditions as they wait to die, but i just think it’s frightening that people show more compassion for tomorrow’s dinner than for the chef.”

“Yup, miss piggy and chicken little may rest easy, but gay people in florida and california can no longer get married…”

Ouch! PETA wrote to Ronson asking for her support for animals just as much as they would continue their support for equal rights for gays and lesbians.

Ellen and Portia are both vegans, have expressed their concerns for animal rights, and were supporters of Prop 2.

Hopefully, if Sam continues to rub elbows with the happy vegan couple, some of that compassion might rub off on her.
