Vegetarian Star

Olivia Wilde recently went to a restaurant that did not take good care of the vegetarian customer.

Her experience was so bad, she had to Tweet about it.

And this establishment was one Kitchen Nightmare.

“Went to a depressing vegetarian-hating restaurant with bad wine in WINE country. No excuses. Wish I was Gordon Ramsay and could fix them.”

You tell ’em Olivia!

What’s the worst vegetarian-hating experience you’ve had in a restaurant?

Rachael Ray has been known to feature vegetarian love on her website, like the Sweet & Sara Vegan Marshmallows based out of a factory in New York.

Rachael recently featured Surf Sweets jelly bean candy as the “Snack of the Day.”

Surf Sweets are organically sweetened with no artificial coloring or flavoring, are gluten, casein and peanut free and are produced in a factory free of wheat, dairy, soy, eggs, tree nuts, nuts, fish, and shellfish.

Four of Surf Sweets products are vegetarian (Fruity Bears, Gummy Swirls, Jelly Beans and Sour Worms) and three are vegan (Fruity Bears, Gummy Swirls, and Sour Worms).

Only the Gummy Bears and Gummy Worms are not suitable for vegetarian as they contain gelatin.

Gummy, fruity, bears and worms.

Be careful not to get your animals and flavors mixed up!

In Gwyneth Paltrow‘s latest edition of her online newsletter Goop, she features celebrity chef Jamie Oliver as he shares his thoughts on eating, health related issues from bad food and the return of cooking and eating with the family.

Thought provoking points are brought in the conversation, such as sourcing better quality ingredients, knowing what’s in your food and how Oliver remains so cute despite all that hard work he does in the kitchen.

GOOP: What is it like being so brilliant and so cute all at the same time?

Jamie Oliver: Ahhh! Bless you Gwyneth. Well I at least try to be brilliant, and I was cute as a baby but I think those qualities are probably very debatable subjects these days!

For a recipe that won’t make you vomit like Paltrow’s sickening sweet comment, try Oliver’s Classic Spaghetti recipe at Goop.

There’s absolutely no jars of sauce involved as you create it fresh from scratch. Using diced tomatoes, fresh basil, olive oil and other spices, you can use this recipe to create a meal that’s vegetarian/vegan without processed ingredients.

Plus, it makes an excellent, simple recipe to start with if you’re beginning to teach your kids how to cook something besides Pop Tarts.

To get the recipe, visit Goop. To watch Oliver be cute, tune into ABC on Fridays at 9PM for Jamie Oliver’s Food Revolution.

There was a lot of eating during the filming of Tyler Perry‘s latest film, Why Did I Get Married Too?

There was also a lot of eating off screen for star Janet Jackson, who plays the role of Patricia Agnew.

Between scenes Jackson hid in her trailer and munched on what she thinks is the best vegetarian food you can sink your teeth into in Atlanta, Georgia.

“I was really diving into my work. So it was about eating…in my trailer! And really focusing on the character, and trying to stay in character. And after, I was just so drained and so tired. And especially having to get up early the next morning, and do it all over again.

“There’s a restaurant called Veggieland in Atlanta, it’s very good,” Jackson told Long Island Press.

Wonder if Janet likes a side of Veggieland’s sweet potato fries with her veggie burger?

Michelle Wie isn’t scare of anything, whether its the golf course or the kitchen.

The golfer who was named by Time magazine as one of “100 people that shape our world,” Wie experiments with different creative hobbies that include painting, sewing clothes and making her own recipes for vegan cookies and muffins.

“Basically, I started to love trying things,” Wie said, to the New York Times, “instead of before, I was scared of trying new things.”

Can we get a vegan cookie and muffin cookbook from the Ladies Professional Golf Association tour member?

Sure hope she makes it one of the new things to try on her list!

Janet Jackson dabbled into the acting world with Tyler Perry‘s “Why Did I Get Married Too?” and she’ll be once again taking to the screen in another one of Perry’s films, “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow Is Enuf.”

Growing up in Indiana, she never had the guts to get into acting in school and then her music career took off, leaving her with little time to pursue other interests until now.

Having already won a Grammy, she’s now ready to aim for an Oscar.

But which one does she prefer?

“That’s like asking if I’d rather have my vegan cookies or my soy milk. I want it all,” Jackson told Chicago Sun Times.

Mmm…is that what she’s sharing on the set of Perry’s next film?

Maybe she can convince him to make a movie to the likes of “Don’t Bring Meat To Madea’s Family Reunion.”

Aldo Zilli‘s vegetarian Italian restaurant, Zilli Green, open a couple of months ago and after Metro sampled the food, atmosphere and service, it came up a little less than satisfied.

Zilli Green was given a (ouch) 1 out of 5 stars for everything from cold tempura and portabello mushroom to ignorant service.

Metro hints that you can get vegetarian Italian food anywhere that serves Italian, presumably by leaving the meatballs off.

“Some of the best meat-free cooking in the world is Italian; you can easily eat an entirely vegetarian meal in a conventional Italian restaurant without even being aware of it.”

Zilli Green may be a little shaker in its infancy, but it is only two months old, and like any business, there’s probably several details to work out.

Not only is Zilli Green giving London a vegetarian Italian option, but there are several items on the menu listed as vegan, such as ice cream.

And despite having pasta shops on every corner, some specifically vegetarian and even vegan Italian eateries have worked, as the case with Chrissie Hynde‘s Vegiterranean in the U.S.

Might it be reasonable for more Soho vegetarians to give Zilli Green a try and let the staff politely know where improvements can be made?

We’ve heard this one before.

Woody Harrelson was on a bus, full of mucus, acne and sinus issues.

A woman on the bus tells him to stop eating that cheese stuff, he takes her advice and his skin and upper respiratory system live happily ever after.

Harrelson told Hustler,”When I was 23, 24, I used to have a really bad runny nose, mucus, tons of acne, reddishness all over. A woman on a bus I took looked at me and said I was lactose intolerant.”

“(She said), ‘Stop dairy for three days, and all this is going to go away.’ I stopped dairy, and sure enough it was gone three days later, never to return except when I get dairy accidentally.”

Just last year, Harrelson told Maxim a similar story.

“I was about 24 years old and I had tons of acne and mucus. I met some random girl on a bus who told me to quit dairy and all those symptoms would go away three days later. By God she was right.”

Apparently this advice is golden enough to be talked about within a six month time frame.

It’s gotta be a must try!

Any former dairy heads out there who gave it up in exchange for a baby bottom’s smooth face?
