Vegetarian Star

When author Jonathan Safran Foer appeared on The Ellen Show, a nine year old girl said reading the book with her mother had inspired her to start drinking soy milk and buying cage-free eggs. She also asked if he planned to write a similar book aimed at children. The answer was no, he was only interested in writing fiction from there on out.

Fortunately, there are dozens of books aimed at children and adolescents that focus on vegetarian living and values.

This is Why We Don’t Eat Animals is one that teaches the relationship between food at mealtime and animal suffering and environment issues if that food is meat or dairy.

Other children’s books that contain vegetarian related themes include Hope, based on a true story of a pig found in a dumpster that was rescued and taken to a farm sanctuary. ‘Twas the Night before Thanksgiving features the story of school children who rescue eight would be dinner turkeys during a class field trip to a farm.

These and other books can be found on a list at humaneeducationteacher.org.

If you had any doubts about Anne Hathaway‘s current vegetarian status (as she’s always flip flopping), look no further than this article because nothing says I’m no longer vegetarian than discussing how much fun it is to feel up on chicken with a buttered hand.

This coming a little after a year after announcing she was a full blown vegan on television

“The other day I roasted a chicken that I have got to say was awesome. But I used a lot of butter and it’s not hard to make chicken taste good when you use a lot of butter. I am not a very imaginative cook, I follow recipes, but I really do enjoy it. That and baking. I used to be a vegetarian but obviously I am not a very committed vegetarian when you roast chicken.”

But wait! There’s more chicken stories and tales of eating crickets and working up the balls to eat intestines.

PETA is looking to lease the home on Ocean Avenue in Amityville, New York that inspired the 1977 book, “The Amityville Horrors.”

“In our horror house, the sound of slaughterhouse blades whirring while animals scream for their lives would play over loudspeakers.” Tracy Reiman, vice-president of PETA wrote in a letter to the present owners of the home.

People who audition for So You Think You Can Dance are similar to the hopefuls on American Idol–they’ve got to be looking for attention!

Host Cat Deeley and the dynamic panel of judges that has included Nigel Lythgoe have seen it all, but during their stop in New York they were entertained by a low-budget horror film director who was dressed in fruits and vegetables, and who’s routine included throwing broccoli at the judges.

Judge Adam Shankman said of the performance and costume, “I almost wore that today, that would have been so awkward!”

Actor Gary Coleman has passed away at the age of 42.

He died this afternoon in a Utah hospital after going into a coma from a hemorrhage that caused bleeding inside his skull. It was his wife’s decision to remove him from life support.

Coleman was best known for his role as Arnold Jackson in the 1970s and 80s hit television series “Diff’rent Strokes,” about a wealthy Manhattan family that adopted the African-American child of their late maid before it was fashionable in Hollywood for white people to do so.

However, he starred in the 2007 A Christmas Too Many, about a dysfunctional family the actor told the Washington Post was forced to “have a vegan Christmas,” reports Vegblog.

According to DVD Talk, the usual holiday fare of deer and turkey are scarce in Malibu, which leaves the family’s best hunter to look at the guinea pigs instead, much to the disgust of his wife, daughter and his vegan son played by Austin O’Brien.

A San Francisco restaurant has paid tribute to the Beastie Boys in a very veggie manner.

According to San Francisco Weekly, Weird Fish restaurant has an item on the menu that contained a mix of seafood with tomato broth on a sour dough bun called, “B-Boy Bouillabaisse,” named after a song from the 1989 album, Paul’s Boutique.

The dish now comes with a mock salmon, renaming the creation, “B-Boy Veganbaisse.”

Seems fitting, considering Mike D is all into raw and Adam Yauch went organic and vegan after his diagnosis of cancer.

"Farm To Fork" Emeril Lagasse

Emeril Lagasse is the next big celebrity chef to jump on the vegetable bandwagon.

His latest cookbook, Farm To Fork: Cooking Local, Cooking Fresh focuses on fruits, vegetables and grains, with only a small portion of meat and poultry recipes.

As expected from the title, Farm To Fork, emphasizes fresh, local ingredients to use in recipes like lemon scented blueberry pancakes and roasted beet salad.

Lagasse also says kind things about the farmers market and growing your own veggies, beginning his culinary series with the sentence, “I have had a connection with the soil since I was a young boy.”

Alice Waters may soon lose her place as top dog locavore cooking champion.

Farm to Fork is due for release in June 2010.

If there’s any time to emulate celebrity fashion and keep your ethics about animals and environment, it’s now.

More and more stars, vegetarian or not, have been seen wearing organic cotton, faux hides and sustainable stockings in public.

Treehugger has compiled a few favorites, including this Vaute Couture vegan coat by designer Leanne Hilgart worn by Emily Deschanel on Bones.

Called the “El,” Deschanel is said to own it in the recycled black color as well.

Desperate Housewives stars Teri Hathcher and Marcia Cross purchased FEED bags for the entire television series crew. The bags, made from recycled cotton, not only help the environment, but humans too, as each different style of FEED is designed to assist in hunger in various parts of the world.

See what the other green fashions celebrities are sporting at Treehugger.
