Quantcast Vegetarian Starvegan (523)

Rock A Little, Feed Alot Benefit Concert - Arrivals

Christina Applegate visited Kansas City in the Power & Light district, in celebration of Lee Jeans’ National Denim Day, the company’s biggest all day fundraiser for breast cancer.

Applegate, a breast cancer survivor herself, helped unfurl a check with 10 other survivors she called her “sisters in boobs” for $4.5 million.

Kansas City is nicknamed “cowtown” and a reporter for kansascity.com asked the vegetarian Applegate if she could live in such a town that’s famous for barbecue and steaks.

“I don’t know. Probably. I’ve lived in a big city, I’ve lived in the mountains,” Applegate said.

Q: But you wouldn’t eat the cows.

A: I would love them and protect them.

Q:…So I guess we don’t appeal to you on those grounds (eating barbecue and steak).

A:Not necessarily on that front, but the people are very kind. And it looks like a nice little city. And I can play “Kansas City” on the guitar.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, btw. If you haven’t touched a tit yet, now’s a great time to get started.

Heather Mills V Bites The Bronx Opening [Update]

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, October 4th, 2009 in Business, Chefs, Food & Drink, Restaurants.

Heather Mills Launches V-Bites Restaurant

Update: V  Bites The Bronx isn’t here yet.

Vegan foodies in the U.S. will be glad to hear that Heather Mills has opened a V Bites restaurant in the Bronx, New York.

This comes just months after the grand opening of V Bites in Hove Lagoon in the UK.

Heather personally was present at the opening yesterday afternoon.

Heather’s no stranger to the area, as she’s worked with a charity of hers, Hunts Point Alliance, serving underprivileged Bronx children and families.

Last year, Heather donated over a million dollars of vegan food to children and families in the Bronx area and has also taught weekend cooking classes.

It was rumored months ago that Heather was looking in the NY area to open her vegan restaurant, but after V Bites in the UK opened its doors, many assumed Heather was done for awhile.

Thank goodness she’s like the vegan Energizer Bunny and shows no signs of stopping.

Jason Mraz Fish Taco Sins Revealed

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, October 4th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers, Not So Vegetarian.

Jason Mraz Performs On NBC's "Today"

So back when Jason Mraz called himself a vegan fishitarian, we wondered if Jason really did sneak some occasional fish or was attempting another one of his sarcastic remarks.

We feared the worst, and it’s true. According to sfgate.com, Jason remains vegan for most of the time, but gives in to flipper ever now and then.

Q: Do you ever give into temptation and microwave a convenience store bacon cheeseburger?

A: No, I never give in. Only when I’m home in San Diego. That’s when you might find me pulling in for a fish taco.

Ah, the disappointment!

Jason’s diet for the other 99% of the time is convenient as it saves him the hassle of prep time on the road.

“My food is mostly raw vegan. You don’t have to cook too much when you’re in that world. So I might steam some quinoa, and then everything else is just fresh produce. Otherwise you’re eating truck-stop food, which is no bueno.”

Jason Mraz and the fish taco. Russell Simmons and his occasional egg noodles. Are there any good 100% real vegan men standing?

Natural Resources Defense Council's 20th Anniversary Celebration

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is doing everything she can to green the set of The New Adventures of Old Christine.

“Every light bulb is a compact fluorescent,” Julia told Mother Nature Network. “We have a big recycling program. We tried to get rid of water bottles last year and failed at it. It’s a tricky thing to do with a crew, but we’re going to try it again this year.”

Julia is an environmentalist who is active with the NRDC and the Environmental Media Association, and serves on the boards of Heal the Bay and Heal the Ocean.

But Julia hasn’t made one important move to protect the environment-she hasn’t yet gone vegetarian.

“I love vegetables— I should be a vegetarian, and I feel guilty saying I’m not,” Julia told Shape. “But I like meat and chicken.”

We’ve already give Julia the how to eat like a carnivore by shopping in the faux meat section lecture, so we’ll just suggest one final thing: Why not make the set of Old Christine greener by implementing a meat-free day of the week?

Woody Harrelson “Zombieland” Vegan Twinkie

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, October 4th, 2009 in Actors, Film & TV, Food & Drink.

Premiere of Sony Pictures' "Zombieland" - Arrivals

If you’ve seen Zombieland starring Woody Harrelson and Jesse Einsenberg, you know that Woody gets his energy to run from the zombies by snacking on his favorite food of Twinkies.

In real life, Woody’s a raw vegan and regular Twinkies won’t cut it.

Just like Kal Penn had veggie burgers waiting for him at White Castle during the Harold and Kumar film, the directors on the set had specially made vegan Twinkies ready for Woody.

“They were actually edible for a guy like me,” Woody said.

Zombieland Twinkies were made from cornmeal and other vegan ingredients. This leads Woody to believe companies really can make healthy junk food if they put their mind to it.

“There’s a possibility that (manufacturer) Hostess could do a healthy Twinkie. It’s a thought.”

While they’re at it, can we get some vegan Ho-Hos too?

Saphoros Skincare LJ Botanicals 61st Annual Primetime Emmys

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, October 2nd, 2009 in Cosmetics And Beauty Products.

61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards - Press Room

The 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards featured Saphoros Skincare Company’s brand, LJ Botanicals as a gift for the Everybody Wins at the EMMY® Awards gift bag, distributed by Distinctive Assets.

Did 2nd time in a row winner Alec Baldwin use some of LJ Botanicals vegan moisturizers to touch up his pretty face during commercial breaks?

The Vegan Skincare Essentials System was chosen for the gift bag, which includes a gentle cleanser, toner, exfoliator, eye treatment and moisturizer.

The kit was also presented in 100% recycled packaging.

Distinctive Assets founder Lash Fary said, “As our largest organ, our skin is no less susceptible to the good and bad we put on it. The healthier and more natural our skincare regime, the better (and younger) our skin will look and feel. That’s the reason I love this new vegan skincare line by Saphoros. And even if you’re less vegan and more vain, the efficacy of this exciting new line will have you blogging, ranting and raving to all of your friends!”

Donna Standridge, CEO of Saphoros Skin Line said, “The demand for more natural and vegan products is growing tremendously. The public is becoming increasingly more aware of what they are putting on their skin and have begun educating themselves on ingredients and potential dangers of some of them. Our ultimate goal is to provide the most safe and effective products as we can using natural and organic alternatives, and this set shows that. There are so many natural/organic alternatives to these anti-aging chemicals that work just as well, if not better, and are safer for our bodies. We want to show that luxury doesn’t have to be complicated.”
