Vegetarian Star

Nicole Lapin

Nicole Lapin is a young journalist who anchors CNN.com Live and has appeared on CNN Headline News, CNN, and CNN International. She decided to go into the field after her parents banned her from watching coverage of the Gulf War because they thought it was too negative. What a way to rebel!

She attended Harvard University at only the age of 15 and eventually became valedictorian of her journalism class at Northwestern University.

She’s a vegan, but says no one would ever notice, as she’s not the picky type and can turn almost any situation into one that feeds her and suits the vegetarian lifestyle.

“I’m a vegan. But, no one believes it because when you’re out in the field, most of your meal options involve meat with a side of something fried. But, I’ve learned how to be creative and improvise and can eat anywhere — even a steak house or a gas station.”

On any given Sunday, there’s a good chance you’ll find Bones star Emily Deschanel at the local farmer’s market in Hollywood. For some reason, “farmer’s market” and “Hollywood” almost sound like the two could never be combined, but thankfully, Deschanel proves this to be wrong.

A vegan for about 15 years, she let USA Today’s William Keck follow her around (is that approved stalking?) while she picked avocado and other goodies.

One of her favorite spots is the veggie soul food stand, where she ordered vegetarian pot roast, greens, cornbread and black-eyed peas. Although her current day job is an actress, she also considers herself a good chef: 

“I make a good guacamole, if I do say so myself.”

Chrissie Hynde is looking to expand her restaurant business and open a second VegiTerranean in Columbus, OH. In 2007, she opened the first in her hometown of Akron.

Although nothing is definite yet, calls to the restaurant confirm a working plan to expand.

Earlier this month, The VegiTerranean put 2 of its vegan burgers on display at the National Hamburger Festival.

The original plan was to open the Columbus restaurant by this summer, but we all know good things take time.

Hynde’s partner Dan Duplain told the Columbus Dispatch they eventually want to have restaurants in every major city in Ohio. The current vegan menu features vegan Italian food and items named for famous Ohio residents such alcohol-free cocktails named after the Alcoholics Anonymous founder Dr. Bob Smith.

The Pretender’s singer grew up in Ohio and attended Kent State University for awhile. She now resides in the U.K.

Vegan Rocker Chrissie Hynde of the Pretenders opened a vegan restaurant a little under a year ago, The Vegiterranean, in her hometown of Akron, Ohio. It features vegan Italian food such as vegetarian Penne Chicken Pesto – Gardein (Garden Grown-therefore plant based) Chicken with Pesto and Penne Pasta and many other Italian dishes you can get with “Rawmesan” toppings.

Last weekend, The Vegiterranean, put 2 of its vegan burgers in the National Hamburger Festival to show who’s really got the (un) beef.

Before the festival began, Executive Chef Scott Jones told the Akron Beacon Journal, The Vegiterranean’s burgers were, “packed full of goodness and love,” in addition to being 100 percent free of any animal products, cholesterol, saturated fat, and trans fat.

Natalie Portman’s name was dropped by The Luxist in an article discussing fashion ethics and Hollywood stars.

Portman has vowed to only wear vegan shoes, such as those by Stella McCartney. But she’s giving vegan foot wearers even more variety.

She started her own line of vegan shoes in February of this year.

We went online (and you should too) to view these and they are absolutely gorgeous and think they’ll satisfy the shoe fetish for all vegan (and hopefully non-vegan) women in the world who are adding extra closets to their homes to make way for the 100s they already have.

While we would never promote excessive consumption in any manner, if you are going to buy dozens of shoes, we recommend you take the “No Meat On Feet,” approach.
