Vegetarian Star

Yet another celebrity hiding behind his tempeh, Omar Epps, the actor who plays Dr. Eric Foreman on “House” follows a vegetarian diet.

How is it we are just now finding out about this? Must be because he hasn’t gotten naked for PETA yet.

But how incredible it is to know both he and fellow “House” cast mate Lisa Edelstein both keep their houses meat-free.

Treehugger.com has compiled a gallery of Vegetarian Men We Love: Macho Men Who Don’t Eat Meat, where you’ll find Omar, as well as other photos of deliciously meatless men such as Jared Leto, and fun facts like Forest Whitaker remaining vegetarian while putting on 50 pounds to play dictator Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland.

Because there’s still a stereotype of vegetarianism and veganism being a “girlie” thing, it’s good to know the boys are getting proper respect.

But Gwyneth Paltrow did too, so we’re not sure how much of a compliment this is to newly vegan Ellen.

Parade Magazine has compiled a slide show of celebrity vegetarians and vegan Ellen DeGeneres made the meatless cut.

Before Ellen even turned vegan she was huge supporter of animal issues, such as Prop 2. She also recommends eating organic and local.

Other celebrities featured include honeymooner Woody Harrelson, Paul McCartney, and Alicia Silverstone.

Some of Parade’s readers think the list doesn’t best represent Hollywood’s vegetarians, and notables like vegan Natalie Portman are absent.

Even Gwyneth Paltrow is still winning veggie trophies, much to some readers’ dismay. As one person commented on the site:

Gwyneth Paltrow is not a vegetarian. What vegetarian would discuss cooking a turkey on Thanksgiving?! Which she did on her website.

Ah, nothing quite like the truth.

Andre 3000 Benjamin is no George Bush and would love to have broccoli as his last meal.

However, actor Eric Stoltz (Mask, Pulp Fiction), who currently is guest starring on “Grey’s Anatomy” as a death row serial killer, dreams of something a little more elaborate and gasped at the idea that the budget for a death row inmate’s last meal is $30.

As a vegetarian, he frequently treats himself to dishes of pasta with eggplant and mushrooms and insists that he would have a “smorgasbord of all the different foods.”

One of those foods is pizza, but he insists that’s still too simple for a last meal.

Perhaps a death row catering compliments of one of the top eight vegetarian restaurants would suite his fancy?

New Yorkers are in an uproar over the fare hikes and service cuts the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) has approved in its 2009 budget.

One man expressed his feelings personally by attempting to throw a shoe at Chief Executive Elliot Sander-mimicking the Iraqi reporter who threw his shoes at George W. Bush, before being escorted out.

People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), being the peace and goodwill promoting organization it is, has offered to help solve this problem so hopefully Chief Sander will only be dodging snowballs this winter.

They would like to purchase advertisement on MTA that would allow riders to hear pro-vegetarian testimonials by vegetarian actors Forest Whitaker, Casey Affleck, and Kevin Nealon.

Fantastic idea, but why not take it a bit further. Along with the personal testimonial, include shout outs as to where to find the food. Something like,”I’m Forest Whitaker and I’m a vegetarian. Check out the Falafel cart at 46th and 6th“, may make the advertisement dollars go further.

You can listen to each celebrity’s announcement over at PETA’s blog.

Mark Ruffalo isn’t the only actor to experience the horrors of finding good vegetarian food while traveling abroad.

Rajneesh Duggal, Bollywood actor who made his debut in the film, 1920, survived on steamed rice and vegetables for five days from a Chinese restaurant located across the street from the hotel he was staying in Paris, France, because he couldn’t find vegetarian food elsewhere.

But that’s nothing compared to his dining in experience with colleagues at an Italian/French cuisine restaurant.

Poor Duggal couldn’t find anything vegetarian on the menu.

“All my friends began ordering non-vegetarian food, while I was busy seeking for some vegetarian food in the menu, but all in vain. I was starving and seeing them enjoying the food made me even more hungry.”

His friends, who no doubt felt sorry for him as they chowed away on their meaty entrees, suggested he find something with eggs or fruit. Finally, after discussing with the waiter his problem, the restaurant chefs had specially made Banana crepes prepared.

Jennifer Aniston threw a holiday party for a few friends this weekend at her new Beverly Hills mansion. Oh, and did we mention these were her veg friends?

Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi, along with Tobey Maguire and his wife Jennifer Meyer, joined Jen for the housewarming party on Sunday where catered vegan food was served to please Ellen and Tobey.

Other guests brought treats, such as cakes and cupcakes, but Jen made sure her vegan buddies weren’t left hangin’.

Aniston’s latest film, Marley & Me, is set to hit the theatres on December 25th, and also stars actors Owen Wilson and Eric Dane.
