Gwyneth Paltrow’s website Goop is a hit and miss for the Veg Star.

On the one hand, we find way too many recipes for bird burgers showing up on there.

Then again, we have to forgive a gal who puts Vegenaise vegan mayo on a vegan B.L.T. sandwich with avocado.

Vanity Fair has taken the opportunity to mock Goop, and here are a few veg related highlights:

Do
“Many of you have asked if I have any tips on how to get leggings on quicker. My in-house leggings guru advises rubbing onto your legs a paste made from five spoonfuls of extra-virgin olive oil, turbinado sugar, and coarsely ground fair-trade coffee. If you have any further problems, then next week I’ll be recommending a truly great creative-leggings clinic.”

See
“Next week, we learn to peel a banana with a world-expert fruit psychologist.”

Be
“Next week, we learn to make yummy blueberry-and-goat’s-rennet ice cream served with arugula and coconut water.”

Get
“At one end of the room the kids are crying out for you to teach them how to make that truly great detox teriyaki salad with miso-nettle dressing.”

“Meanwhile, you are desperately trying to get your butt in great shape while nourishing your inner aspect by learning how to fold napkins in a way that will make them more ecologically sustainable.”

If you have a craving for some vaudeville action, you should check out the performing dance troupe, Lucent Dossier.

If you have a craving for some vegan tacos, troupe member Dream Rockwell can direct you to the Los Angeles food stand to satisfy that urge too.

The dancer recently spoke with blackbookmag.com about her entertainment career, when she revealed she powers her endless energy from a vegan diet.

Where is the best taco truck? You’re vegan right? Can you dish on taco trucks?
Oh yes, I can actually. Playfood. The guy who runs the taco truck is Taran Smith. He makes the most amazing vegan food. He makes vegan cheese. His specialty is making vegan cheese and vegan ice cream, and they are both incredible. He makes tacos off his vegan taco truck.

Dream is talking about the raw cashew vegan cheese, Playfood, created by the former Home Improvement star, Taran Smith.

We’ll emulate Dream’s taco diet. She can keep the pyro techniques to herself, though

Drummer Pat Thetic of the music group Anti-Flag, was recently interviewed by fanbolt.com, where he revealed he has a little addiction to vegan chocolate chip cookies.

“My favorite vegan dish? Vegan chocolate chip cookies! I just had about 10 of them in the bus.”

Incidentally, where do you get your chocolate chip cookie fix?

Vegan companies like Uncle Eddie’s and Alternative Baking Company make it easy for you go crazy on the cookie while keeping it sane with the eggs and dairy.

Pat also revealed he’s a big fan of vegetables with a little oil and salt and being vegan is easy because he’s never had a taste for meat.

“I find meat to be pretty disgusting, so I’ve never liked meat even as a kid, so it’s not difficult for me at all.”

Anti-Flag is currently lending their efforts to PETA’s Meat’s Not Green campaign in Germany.

Update: Bob Harper is now officially vegetarian! Read about how he dropped 100 points on his cholesterol in the September ’09 issues of Vegetarian Times.

Biggest Loser coaches Jillian Michaels and Bob Harper are not vegetarians-yet!

But we have a sneaky suspicion at least one of them is going all the way sooner or later.

Jillian has announced she’s given up almost all meat in her diet, with the exception of fish, in an effort to go green. And Bob just can’t stop Tweeting about vegan cheese and almond milk.

So between the two Biggest Losers stars who have a thing for the veg life, even if it’s part time, who would you rather…
