Vegetarian Star

Alicia Silverstone just embarked on a brand new project–a role in the Donald Margulies play Time Stands Still.

Alicia chatted with the NY Mag at one of her favorite veggie restaurants, Pure Food & Wine about her new role.

Alicia may be snacking on edamame and acai juice between Acts now, but it wasn’t always that way.

“I was a total meat-eater, are you kidding me? I was 21, and when the word health came up, it meant, ‘Oh, you’re telling me to lose weight.’ I had quite a bit of pressure about my weight and stuff. So I said, ‘Fuck you. I’m going to eat whatever I want. I don’t care.’ I just totally rebelled—I was anti-health. My love for animals is what saved me.”

After the NY Mag suggested Alicia’s character Mandy in Time Stands Still is somewhat like her Clueless character Cher-superficial and bubbly-Alicia insisted that was where the similarities ended.

“Cher was a teenage girl and Mandy is a professional person who runs entire events. She meets her lover at a launch party for a book on Darfur. Just like everybody, she’s had pain, but she’s not going to war.”

JD Salinger

JD Salinger, famed author of The Catcher In The Rye, passed just weeks after his 91st birthday.

Publisher Roger Lathbury met with Salinger in the late 80s, asking if he could publish Hapworth 16, 1924.

The two had lunch together and The Washington Post says Salinger confessed to being “largely vegetarian.”

When Salinger recommended a soup with Parmesan, Lathbury said he was vegetarian.

Salinger answered, “I am largely a vegetarian,” and Lathbury told the Washington Post, “I didn’t know what that meant — sort of like saying, ‘I am a little bit pregnant.”

Was Salinger really a flexitarian?

Or trying to impress the publisher?

Kelly Osbourne is smelling like vegetables!

During a recent Tweet, she shared this lovely fact that may have been TMI:

“i smell like a vegetarian I am sweating the smell of vegetables! it keeps making me laugh!”

Is Kelly smelling great because she’s following the rules of the Meat-Free Monday camapaign she showed up to support months ago?

If you’re a veg, you already know you smell better than the carnivores, but here’s a little scientific evidence to back up your claim.

When researchers put several men on meat and non-meat diets for 2 weeks, the odors of the non-meat eaters were judged to be more attractive, more pleasant and less intense.

Guys headed for the clubs tonight might want to chow down on some celery.

It might just be your lucky vegetable.

The Food Network’s Unwrapped recently featured New York based Sweet and Sara, a company that makes vegan marshmallows, smores and other desserts.

Unwrapped gives the behind the scenes look at how some foods are created.

The crew at Sweet and Sara is all about putting the ingredient of TLC into their products. No machine manufactured smores are coming from this company.

“Our smores are made entirely from scratch,” said Sara Sohn, founder of Sweet & Sara.  “We hand scoop every graham cookie, we weigh out every marshmallow filling, we handcoat every s’more with chocolate, no mass production, no industrial equipment.”

Sweet and Sara peanut butter smores were featured on Rachael Ray.

During her chat with Oprah, Alicia Silverstone brought up the subject of how being vegetarian helps you, um, do #2 better.

“I will say this,” Oprah said about being vegan. “Your poop is fabulous.”

“Don’t you want to bring your friends in and say ‘Look at this beautiful thing,'” Alicia added.

With all the fiber consumed from healthy vegetarian food like fruits and vegetables and beans and rice, you’ll always have art to showcase to your friends and family.

Oprah’s not vegan, but she did try the diet for 21 days as part of a cleansing.

Bet she misses the good ol’ days of plentiful poop.

Eric Stoltz and Alessandra Torresani both star in the new science fiction television series, Caprica, as father Daniel Graystone and his daughter Zoe.

Daniel is a genius in the field of artificial intelligence and in real life, both members of the rival family to the Adamas eat artificial–only fake meat goes on these plates.

Any chance of convincing Daniel Graystone to manufacture robot vegan chefs?

Between the two Syfy stars, who would you rather do…
