Vegetarian Star

Chi-Force

We’ve seen what can happen on reality TV when a vegetarian or vegan contestant can’t get the food they need for their diet.

But if anything like that happens on Vh1’s “Confessions of a Teen Idol”, vegan Eric Nies might not have a problem going hungry. It’s not like he hasn’t done it before.

The original MTV “Real World” star, who is now a life coach, once fasted for 40 days to raise awareness about obesity and world hunger, according to the Purium Health Products website.

Technically, it wasn’t complete fasting as he drank three to four energy drinks but abstained from solid foods.

Here’s a video of Eric and other former teen idols with clips from Vh1’s “Confessions of a Teen Idol.”

Pamela Anderson is known to tell other countries what they should be doing with their sex lives, now she’s at it again, this time writing a letter to India’s financial capital, Mumbai, asking that stray dogs be sterilized rather than killed.

Mumbai’s high court has recommended the dogs be killed, saying they are a nuisance to the public.

Pammie says just put a doggie condom on it. A permanent one.

”Dogs cannot use condoms, but… they can be fixed painlessly, quickly and permanently,” she wrote in a letter to city authorities and cited studies conducted by the Animal Welfare Board of India and the World Health Organisation.

”It is well established that killing stray dogs is not a permanent solution to controlling their populations…mass sterilisation of stray animals is the most viable solution to nuisance and health concerns in addition to being more humane.”

The dogs are practically a city of their own-70,000 strays wandering the streets of Mumbai and some say they are attacking pedestrians and cyclists.

The solution to animal control is never easy and stories such as these are a constant reminder that Bob Barker couldn’t have said it enough when he advised people to spay and neuter their pets.

Joaquin Phoenix recently retired from the acting business to concentrate on a career in singing. But is it really singing?

This video shows Joaquin…rapping? Is a vegan Vanilla Ice in the making?

Phoenix and fellow vegan buddy Casey Affleck were at the LAVO club at The Palazzo in Las Vegas recently, where Phoenix sure looked a hell of a lot different than he did back in his younger Christmas video making days.

Before his gansta performance, Phoenix enjoyed a specially prepared vegan meal in the LAVO private room.

We asked you before if you thought Joaquin would do well as a singer. Here’s your chance to re-judge his abilities.

We’re out of here. Word to your mother.

Baby Cakes, where actress Lake Bell stocked up on all her vegan desserts last Holiday season, has given several vegetarian and vegan celebrities a sweet tooth so big they’re willing to put a few kind words behind the cookbook that’s coming out in April.

After owner Erin McKenna was diagnosed with allergies to wheat and dairy, all she really wanted was a cupcake, but unfortunately, couldn’t find bakeries selling products that complied with her restrictions. So she opened her own.

Now she’s sharing her secret recipes for vegan, gluten-free, and some even sugar free cupcakes in her book BabyCakes: Vegan, Gluten-Free, and (Mostly) Sugar-Free Recipes from New York’s Most Talked-About Bakery, set to be released in April.

It’s already getting rave reviews and kudos from some great veg celebrities, including Pamela Anderson, Natalie Portman, and Zooey Deschanel.

“I have multiple food sensitivities…and I’d pretty much given up on the idea that I might be able to have a worthy treat every again. I was so excited to discover BabyCakes NYC, because not only can I eat everything they bake, it’s all delicious!”
—Zooey Deschanel

“At BabyCakes NYC I can eat what I crave without harming my lovely animal friends–or myself. Every since that first fateful day, I’ve been waiting for this cookbook.”
—Natalie Portman

“Thank all that is holy for BabyCakes NYC…”
—Pamela Anderson

It’s been known for a few months now that Ellen DeGeneres has become vegan, but now her wife, Portia de Rossi, is opening up about how turning vegan has changed her life as well.

Neither of them were vegan when they met, but according to Portia, the couple made it a goal to cross animals off their lists after their very first date, according to Contact Music.

“When Ellen and I first got together I was wearing fur and Ellen was wearing very expensive Italian calfskin leather. She was giving me a hard time about wearing the fur and I said, ‘Why is a fox any more important than a cow?’

“We took that idea and went all the way with it. We are doing what we can.”

Last year, the menu at the couple’s wedding reception was completely vegan.

Nothing like a good woman to make a person change their ways. In this case, both members of the happy couple got a nudge from one.

Emily Deschanel has something to look forward to on her Fox series “Bones.”

A vegan character, much like herself, will be introduced soon.

However, this happiness is somewhat dampened by a future episode involving a zoo, something she is against.

“I’m particularly disappointed that there’s going to be an elephant,” she said.

The particular episode involves someone being eaten by a tiger.

It’s safe to say that tiger isn’t the vegan character.

We’re starting to believe we’ve got Alicia Silverstone psychic powers.

A few days ago, we informed you that AFI’s Hunter Burgan was crowned Vegan Ambassador for MacBeth shoes and that Davey Havok would soon make a grand publicity announcement to ensure his name remained king in vegan fashion.

Sure enough, Davey’s got a new T-Shirt in his Zu Boutique Clothing line to demonstrate what dairy milk contains-pus.

Yes, that’s gross, but is there really a prettier way of putting it?

The “Got Pus?” shirts, mocking the famous “Got Milk” slogan, are promised to be 100% somatic cell count free. Somatic cell count is a quality indicator of milk that increases in response to bacteria, such as staph, which then causes mastitis, a condition where pus filled abscesses form around the nipple. 

Yes, we know. Got vomit bag yet?

Like other Davey fashions, this shirt is limited edition, and once all 100 of them run out, they’re gone for good.
