Vegetarian Star

The story we posted about Kristen Bell cooking chicken in her crock pot for her roommates even though she herself is a vegetarian makes for some discussion: Do you think most vegetarians are opposed to cooking meat, even when it’s for someone they know personally? What if a vegetarian had a company or employees to look after? Would all the company parties be veg?

When Heather Mills treated the staff of builders on her Sussex home to a Christmas feast,  the workers were a little disappointed to learn the meal was vegan.

Monster and Critics reported one of them saying, “We couldn’t believe we were getting a slap-up meal. But it’s all strictly vegetarian – they’ve just shaped the stuff to look like turkey. What’s the point of that?”

The workers took it all in good stride, since Heather was at least serving enough alcohol for them to wash the Tofurky taste from their mouths.

“We will choke it down. After all, Heather’s not against alcohol. Apparently there’s going to be plenty to drink.”

Heather is a staunch vegan, so it would have been strange to hear she was serving meat for them. But what about the rest of you? If you were in Heather’s position, or if you were treating a staff of your employees or contractors, would you force the vegginess on them for that meal?

Recently Bruce Springsteen announced he regrets making a deal with Wal-Mart to exclusively sell his Greatest Hits CD because the company has so many issues with workers’ rights, something he’s long been a champion for.

Springsteen isn’t the first celebrity to sign an inappropriate pact with a company who’s practices differ from their own.

Cybill Shepherd, best known for her role starring alongside Bruce Willis on the ABC 80s drama Moonlighting, agreed to promote eating meat for the Beef Industry Council in back in 1987.

The slogan was  “Real food for real people!” Sounds like someone did a spin-off of that 20 years later when designing the t-shirt Jessica Simpson once wore.

Cybill was removed from the campaign after she admitted she was a vegetarian. 

Hello? Why do the campaign to begin with?

Actress Kristen Bell is really excited about the upcoming release of a new movie she’s in, Fanboys, where she plays a fanatic Star Wars fan.

But maybe not as excited as she is to cook with her crock pot.

The vegetarian actress revealed in an interview with Fandango that she’s even cooking meat…gasp…in it. Not to worry too much, as Kristen’s still veg all the way, but cooked something for her roommates:

“I’ve been really into using the crock pot lately, which is amazing because you can put anything fresh or frozen in there and it cooks for 10 hours and you have a stew. It’s fantastic! I actually cooked meat for the first time the other day. I made a dish that was somehow fried chicken with Italian dressing and A1 sauce. It was so weird and the reviews were stellar—I made it for my roommates and they really liked it. I didn’t eat it, but I figure it’s about time I learned to cook it.”

C’mom Kristen! Show your roommates how to really use that crock pot and cook up some veggie stews to serve alongside some seitan steak.

Wonder why she felt it was time to learn to cook meat? Does she anticipate having to cook meat for a future husband like Victoria Beckham does?

When Ashley Judd announced her partnership with Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund, Sarah Palin shot back criticizing both the vegetarian actress and the group.

Now Judd is firing back at Palin’s latest statements on Larry King Live, where she alleges Palin’s aerial wolf hunt policies are more to do with her “pet project” than concern for wildlife. Judd claims not only do the people who use moose and caribou not use planes to shoot wolves, but that Palin has voted in ways that has hurt the populations dependent on this practice and that Alaskans have voted against Palin’s policies several times.

Some quotes from the interview:

“What is really important is to maintain a healthy and natural ecological balance between predators and prey. And allowing wealthy humans, primarily urban hunters or those who are bounty hunters from out of state, to go to Alaska and for sport hire airplanes, hire private pilots to fly around and kill wolves in this incredibly savage manner, it’s not right. It is not ethical. It is not appropriate. It doesn’t make sense on any level.”

“I think what I find particularly galling in the governor’s statement is that somehow this is interfering with poor rural Alaskan’s ability to subsistence hunt. That is a distortion. In fact, there is a native tribe in the area who applied to be able to expand their subsistence hunting and she said no. This is for urban hunters. It’s for trophy hunters from out of state. And in terms of managing the population of caribou, hello, wolves do that best. That’s why the natives honor them as the animal that keeps genetic populations healthy.”

In response to Elisabeth Hasselbeck’s criticism of not paying attention to humans as much as animals:

“We can fight poverty and pollution at the same time. These things go hand in glove. Caring about human rights, caring about conservation, of course they fit together naturally. Look at Rwanda, stress on the environment, competition for resources due to overpopulation, genocide. It all works together. So it doesn’t — it’s not an either/or conversation anymore.”

Sarah Palin is not a woman who sits back and takes it, and much to the disappointment of those who wanted her to go away after the Presidential election, she is one that will remain in the public eye for awhile.

He latest outcry is defending Alaska’s Wildlife Management policies and her approval of aerial wolf hunting.

She scolded the Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund for their EyeonPalin.org campaign, which is meant to track what they insist is her record of ignoring scientific evidence in her decisions about wildlife and conservation.

“Alaskans depend on wildlife for food and cultural practices which can’t be sustained when predators are allowed to decimate moose and caribou populations,” Palin said in a statement, supporting her decision on aerial wolf hunting.

She referred to the group as being an “extreme fringe” one, and accused it of distorting the facts of Alaska’s Wildlife management program.

“Shame on the Defenders of Wildlife for twisting the truth in an effort to raise funds from innocent and hard-pressed Americans struggling with these rough economic times.”

Defenders of Wildlife has gotten support from vegetarian actress Ashley Judd, who recently filmed a video voicing her concern for Palin’s policies.

PETA sure knows how to fire up your senses when it comes to women and even though hot peppers aren’t needed, it never hurts to toss them into the picture.

The latest spicy ad promoting vegetarianism is one that has made a comeback specifically for PETA Asia Pacific.

Maggie Q, actress and former fashion model, is inviting you to “Spice Up Your Life,” (in what appears to be Chinese writing).

“Going vegetarian is one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve ever made. I feel better, I have more energy on and off the set, and I have the satisfaction of knowing that I’m doing something to help stop animal suffering.”

Going vegetarian could possibly be the most rewarding decision you’ll ever make and coming in a close second would be putting this as a wallpaper background on your computer.
