Quantcast Vegetarian Starvegan celebrities (32)

It’s no secret vegan musician Nellie McKay likes junk food, from calling herself a “junkatarian” to her theory that more vegan junk food would convert people to veganism. In this video from her Uncensored Interview set, she lists her favorite restaurants, which, ironically, don’t sound as if they’re serving junk at all. Veggie Paradise 2, the veggie burger at Better Burger, and even the Chipotle Burritos are on her fave list.

Pamela Anderson’s Christmas Gift To Bush, Barack Obama

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, December 29th, 2008 in Actresses.

Pamela Anderson Book Signing

Who knew Pamela Anderson was a bookworm? She’s loves one book so much, she told Contact Music she was giving two copies of it away-one to President Bush and another to his soon to be successor Barack Obama.

One Can Make a Difference, a collection of celebrity written essays compiled by PETA’s President Ingrid Newkirk, has touched Pammie so much, she’s sure it will make a great addition to the Presidential libraries.

“I’m sending a copy of the book to the Obamas and, what the hell, to Mr. Bush, too, since he’ll need ways to pass the time, because it is exactly the theme for our next White House: one can make a difference!” she said.

One Can Make a Difference contains essays written by Russell Simmons, Willie Nelson, and Oliver Stone to name a few. Meant to be inspirational, it’s far from hokey and contrived, according to Anderson’s review.

“It’s a collection of 50 inspirational essays – not boring ‘strive to be better’ sayings, but real-life stories that are truly amazing.”

“I get really excited about the fact that I can eat an artichoke, place all the leaves into my little bucket, put it into the ground and then it turns into rich soil which then grows my food. I know that might sound weird, but the cycle of life really amazes me.”
—-vegan actress Alicia Silverstone on some of the green things she does around her home, including having a compost bucket in her backyard. The biggest “green” act of all is being vegan of course. If you haven’t watched the video on Meat The Truth, discussing all the nifty facts on how vegetarianism and veganism helps prevent global climate change, you’re missing out.

Pamela Anderson Helped Others Meat The Truth

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, December 26th, 2008 in Actresses, Environment-Eco-Green, Videos.

Pamela Anderson Press Conference

Pamela Anderson was presented with a copy of Meat the Truth, a documentary on the effects of the meat industry and the environment she participating in making, at the RAI Congress Centre in Amsterdam earlier this month.

If you remember us telling you, Anderson wrote a letter giving sex tips to Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands before leaving for the trip.

When Al Gore presented An Inconvenient Truth, some say he forgot to highlight an important component for saving the world from global climate change: vegetarianism.

Meat the Truth, by Karen Soeters (Director, Nicolaas G. Pierson Foundation) is the documentary that picks up where An Inconvenient Truth left off. According to the creators of Meat the Truth, the livestock industry is responsible for 18% of all greenhouse gas emissions and that’s 40% more than the emissions created by all the cars, trucks, trains, boats and planes added together.

Here’s a fun fact for you frequent fliers: If all Americans would not eat meat for one day a week, it would save 90 million plane tickets from New York to Los Angeles in terms of carbon emissions.

The video below contains more facts as well as a statement made by comedian Bill Maher. Several other celebrities helped make, Meat the Truth, including Maher, James Cromwell, Emily Deschanel, and Hal Sparks.

Emily Deschanel Frequently Heard Pigs Being Slaughtered

Ellen DeGeneres And Portia de Rossi Host Yes! On Prop 2 Party

Yes, most of us dropped a tiny tear at the news of Bambi’s mother dying, but other than that, unless you grew up vegetarian or on a farm or ever worked in a meat market, you were probably shielded from the horrors of learning how the food on your plate got there.

In contrast, when “Bones” actress Emily Deschanel was growing up, she heard pigs slaughtered regularly.

“I was about 10 years old on an island and they killed the pigs right behind where we lived. And you could hear them screaming. That was a pretty terrible thing to hear when I was so young. And that just kind of sort of started [me] thinking, ‘How can people treat another animal that way and if we can live without doing that then why wouldn’t we live that way?'”

The video of her discussing her experience is featured at SupremeMasterTV

Forest Whitaker Advocating Falafel Cart Can Ease NY MTA Hikes

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008 in Actors.

GQ Magazine Hosts The Gentlemen's Ball - Arrivals

New Yorkers are in an uproar over the fare hikes and service cuts the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) has approved in its 2009 budget.

One man expressed his feelings personally by attempting to throw a shoe at Chief Executive Elliot Sander-mimicking the Iraqi reporter who threw his shoes at George W. Bush, before being escorted out.

People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), being the peace and goodwill promoting organization it is, has offered to help solve this problem so hopefully Chief Sander will only be dodging snowballs this winter.

They would like to purchase advertisement on MTA that would allow riders to hear pro-vegetarian testimonials by vegetarian actors Forest Whitaker, Casey Affleck, and Kevin Nealon.

Fantastic idea, but why not take it a bit further. Along with the personal testimonial, include shout outs as to where to find the food. Something like,”I’m Forest Whitaker and I’m a vegetarian. Check out the Falafel cart at 46th and 6th, may make the advertisement dollars go further.

You can listen to each celebrity’s announcement over at PETA’s blog.

Rocker Bryan Adams Exposes His Refrigerator To Rachael Ray

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 23rd, 2008 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Peace One Day - Stage Performances

Bryan Adams exposed himself to Rachael Ray. Geez, we thought he was a gentleman.

Actually, he still is. He just opened his refrigerator to the celebrity chef for her Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine in the December/January 2009 issue, where you’ll also find his favorite Pineapple-Ginger juice recipe, which he drinks every morning.

His fridge is obviously stocked similar to what we told you was in his shopping cart, such as wholesome vegan foods like medjool dates.

Those who follow him know he’s been a vegan for 20 years and he even switched to a completely raw diet for awhile, which he claims during that time he never got sick.

“I didn’t even have a headache—it was unbelievable,” he said. “So now I still try to eat raw about 50 percent of the time.”

So take that, Bijou Phillips, who recently said she was going back to Atkins to lose weight and being a vegan made her sick all the time.

Adams has a self-portrait in front of his fridge-probably to remind him of how gorgeous his body looks so he’ll keep eating vegan.

Read his interview with Rachael Ray, and hear how he’d love to invite her over for a 30 Minute Meal of cheeseless rigatoni pasta with pesto sauce.
