Vegetarian Star

Woody Harrelson admitted that a woman’s advice to give up dairy cured his acne and made his face as smooth as a baby.

Apparently, Woody has been so excited about his beauty routine, he shared it with Alanis Morissette.

“I’ll never forget my friend Woody Harrelson telling me I needed to get rid of the dairy in my fridge to clear up my skin,” Alanis said. “He was right. My skin looks great now.”

Woody has quite an influence over the veg celebrities, as he even encouraged Alicia Silverstone to get naked more often.

Ahem…In the garden, that is.

Alanis changed her entire lifestyle after picking up a copy of Dr. Joel Fuhrman‘s Eat To Live, and says she now focuses on high nutrient foods like “fruit, nuts, collards, kale, and spinach.”

“One of my favorite things to do is to pick a food, like kale, and get some fresh from the farmers’ market, then look up different recipes with it as an ingredient, make all those recipes, and decide which is best.”

—Kristen Bell, in an Q & A session from the January 2010 issue of Vegetarian Times.

Paul McCartney has narrated a video for PETA which documents the conditions factory farmed animals endure.

And unlike most PETA ads, he does all this while keeping his clothes on.

“I’ve often said that if slaughterhouses had glass walls, we’d all be vegetarians. Animals raised on modern factory farms and killed in slaughterhouses endure almost unimaginable suffering,” McCartney says.

“I hope that once you see the routine cruelty involved in raising, transporting and killing animals for food, you’ll join the millions of people who have decided to leave meat off their plates for good.”

Paul covers animals crammed in cages on farms, pathogens found in meat products, the risk of diseases like Mad Cow and the impact meat production has on the environment.

London was recently named the best city in the world to eat vegetarian by PETA, and musician and singer Paul McCartney couldn’t agree more.

”After 40 years of touring as a vegetarian, I’m proud to say that when it comes to eating, there’s no place like home.,” McCartney said, according to The Telegraph.

McCartney has also recently narrated a documentary on slaughterhouses and the effects of the meat industry on the environment for the animal rights group.

Restaurants and other food establishments in the city offer a plethora of meat-free options, even going so far as to put a “V” beside menu items, noting if the dish is vegan or not.

London mayor Boris Johnson said the city has a “history of vegetarianism” and mentioned that it was great to be the “best city on earth to enjoy meat-free nosh.”

”We are helping to cultivate a taste for all things veggie by supporting green-fingered efforts by all Londoners to grow their own fresh fruit and veg,” Johnson said.

Julia Child rarely showed any love for vegetarians.

And the author of her life story, Julia Powell, admits she wasn’t keen on eating less meat until she read a book by one irritating vegetarian author named Jonathan Safran Foer.

“Jonathan Safran Foer irritates the shit out of me, but he’s right,” Powell said.

“He and I are really together in that what we’re trying to come to a decision about what we feel like we can eat. There’s got to be some middle ground between the industrial farming system and all the ways that’s broken and the various privileged ways people like me [respond].”

Powell now calls herself a “restaurant vegetarian”–meaning she will only eat meat when she knows where it’s coming from.

Working in a butcher shop allowed Powell to witness the gory details of “gruesomely grinning, fleshy half skulls, eyes still in their sockets” before meat gets to the plate.

“If you make a relationship with the people you’re getting your food from, you’re going to feel so much better, I promise,” said the author of Julie & Julia: 365 Days, 524 Recipes, 1 Tiny Apartment Kitchen.

Or lose your lunch.

Like Paul McCartney said, “If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian.”

Gordon Ramsay has just completed his tour of India, where he filmed his reality TV series Gordon’s Great Escape.

As previously reported, Gordon’s Great Escape features Ramsay cooking and enjoying mostly vegetarian food in Indian culture.

Uh-oh.

The same Gordon Ramsay who joked about electrocuting his children on a fence if they turned vegetarian or dated one?

Yes, the same Gordon Ramsay who stated, “There’s no bigger pain anywhere in the world than a vegetarian.”

Ramsay is reportedly a fan of pescatarian Indian food-seafood curry.

Let’s hope the tour made him a lover of veggie samosas and lentil dhal too.

Gordon’s Great Escape will air on UK’s Channel 4 early next year.

Heather Burns, the actress who plays Leah on HBO‘s Bored To Death, calls herself a “bad vegetarian” because she loves chicken.

“I eat chicken and I would eat chicken constantly,” Burns said.

Whoa, there!

That’s a little more bird talk than any “good vegetarian” can handle.

And Heather had a fairly good vegetarian week when she let Grub Street into her life recently to share all the things she loves to chow down on in New York City.

A few highlights:

Sunday, November 29
“I had coconut water with my red drink, and Bare Naked granola with soy milk. For lunch, I had just some Amy’s Kitchen organic chili mixed with brown rice. And for dinner I had Brick Lane, an Indian restaurant on 6th Street. It’s one of my favorite places on that street. I had the peeli dal. It’s really good and it’s vegan, so I eat that quite a bit.”

Monday, November 30
On Monday, I had a meeting and then I met my boyfriend at Orlin and had a spinach-and-feta-cheese omelette with orange juice and Earl Grey tea with soy milk.
