Superheroes: What Would Emily Deschanel Do?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, July 30th, 2009 in Actresses.

(500) Days of Summer Los Angeles Premiere

Instyle.com caught up with several actresses at Comic-Con to ask what they would do if they could be superheros.

Emily Deschanel’s superhero vision isn’t that far fetched, as there are already plenty of ladies putting cabbage around their bodies.

“I’d wear a lot of lettuce and turn everything into vegetarian meals. I could turn everybody into vegans and stop all cruelty in general.”

Sounds like the ultimate superfantasy.

What would you do if you played superhero for a day, week, or forever? Allow endangered species to thrive? Veganize all fast food restaurants? Chit chat with your favorite animal friend?

**RESTRICTIONS APPLY** Moby at The Hangover premiere event at Vue cinema in London

“New York is a big, gritty city, but it’s also the easiest place in the world to eat well. Within a 10-minute walk of my studio, there are probably 20 vegetarian restaurants. My favorite is still one of the oldest vegetarian restaurants in New York: Angelica Kitchen, on 12th Street. I’ve probably eaten there 2,000 times in my life. I like the fact that it’s been around for so long; it doesn’t take credit cards and there’s still always a line out the door.”

—-Moby, in a letter explaining why the vegan restaurant, Angelica Kitchen, is one of many reasons he loves New York.

Angelica’s has been feeding veggie New Yorkers since 1976, and features both everyday and special menus filled with delish vegan dishes like the Open Face Tempeh Sandwich, miso soup, noodle dishes and much more.

Potentially being able to spy on Moby makes another great reason to stop by.

Woody Harrelson Convinced Zombieland Director To Go Vegetarian

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, July 28th, 2009 in Actors, Directors and Producers.

Zombieland panel at the San Diego Comic Con in CA

Woody Harrelson converted someone to vegetarianism, if only temporary.

During the filming of an upcoming film, Zombieland, Woody convinced director Ruben Fleischer to eat vegetarian during the duration of the shoot.

“The script is fantastic,” Jesse Einsenberg, who plays Columbus, told altpress.com. “Of course the premise is silly-there’s no way to describe it without sounding silly-but the script is great. It’s really wonderful and unique, and the characters are fantastic. Woody Harrelson is in it, and the director agreed to become a vegetarian for the duration of the shoot because Woody Harrelson is vegan.”

And let’s give it up for the environmentally friendly set.

“The set is pretty eco-friendly, actually. We recycle a lot onset, which is good, because movies are a very wasteful industry.”

Zombieland is set to the premise that after America is ravaged by a zombie plague, the few lone survivors run from the living dead, arriving at a theme park they believe to be safe.

2009 Heart Of Green Awards

Alicia Silverstone has teamed up with EcoTools, a division of Paris Presents, to produce an eco-friendly line of makeup brushes and bags this December.

Silverstone should be prepared for a lot of press this winter, given the fact her vegan diet book, A Kind Diet, is also expected to be released in the fall.

You’ll be able to carry your five-piece brush set in a cosmetic bag made from recycled materials and hemp,.

“I only wanted to do something that hadn’t been done before,” Silverstone told WWD. “This is a conscious product line that is good for the planet. Unless you need it, it’s just stuff,” she added.

Being the down to earth gal she is, Alicia’s products will be available in drugstores.  Along with a five-piece brush set and bag ($16), she’ll have a cosmetic bag ($9); a cosmetics brush bag ($13); a train case ($15); and an overnight bag in the set ($20).

skittles-791435

Nellie McKay has expressed her love for junk food and the interest in manufacturing more junk food for vegans.

The singer and songwriter may have gotten her wish because Skittles has taken the gelatin out of their candies.

Weird fact: Skittles had already taken the junk out of  their trunk (a.k.a. the gelatin from their product) in other countries. What took them so long to get on board in the U.S.?

But now’s not the time for criticism. Let’s give it up for Skittles and show ’em how we appreciate them making a mainstream product veg friendly.

John Salley Got Torrie Wilson To Go Vegetarian

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, July 23rd, 2009 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Models, Reality TV.

Im a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! Press Conference

Second place winner of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here Torrie Wilson said she went vegetarian after finishing the reality TV competition.

“I’ve changed my entire way of eating after the show,” she told the Baltimore Sun. “I became a vegetarian, almost vegan. I feel wonderful after having the cleansing I had there and getting off sugar.”

Torrie’s competitor and 3rd place winner John Salley is vegan and according to chron.com, it was John that gave Torrie the little “push.”

“Wilson became good buddies with former NBA player Salley, who persuaded her to become a vegetarian.”

It’s great that Torrie became veg. Even greater than John helped her “convert.”

Now it’s just a matter of him sharing those recipes cards and giving her samples of his Double Baked Herbed Crisps to share.

Ah, sibling rivalry.

We’re sure Emily Deschanel and her little sister, Zooey Deschanel, have nothing but love for each other as adults, but we wonder how the two got along as kids?

Were there pillowfights, accusations of boyfriend stealing, “borrowing” clothes without permission?

The two grew up to be beautiful inside and out, with successful Hollywood careers, a love for animals, and all things vegan.

So between the two sisters, who would you rather…

Sandra Bernhard Brings Home The Lightlife Vegan Bacon

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009 in Business, Celebrity Tweets, Comedians, Food & Drink.

Twelfth Night 2009 Shakespeare In The Park Opening Night Gala - Arrivals

Sandra Bernhard recently made a Tweet about the vegan breakfast sandwich she was eating.

“enjoying a light life vegan bacon tomato sandwich for breakfast love my alvarado street california style protein bread you can get it in ny”

Sandra has the bacon, tomato, but did she leave off the lettuce for a complete vegan B.L.T.?

Oh, well, maybe she’s just a B.T. girl instead.

We have to side with Sandra on the veggie bacon, though, regardless of the fixings she chooses. Lightlife not only makes faux bacon from soy protein, they also have a tempeh bacon variety.
