Natalie Portman Keeps Vegan Identity Out Of Filmmaking

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 in Actresses.

Natalie Portmans MakingOf Project - New York City
Natalie Portman is a strict vegan who won’t even wear clothing made from animals. But when it comes to her job in the film industry, she tries to keep personal life separate from business.

Portman recently appeared at an Apple store as part of the “Meet The Filmmaker” series.

Michael Croland, blogger for heeb’n’vegan, got the opportunity that every man on planet earth dreams about: to talk to Natalie.

Croland asked Portman about the film, Kosher Vegetarian, and how her religious and diet beliefs played a role in movie. Portman plays a Jewish woman in love with a Indian vegetarian.

“I try not to mix my beliefs too much with my filmmaking. … I went to see [Closer director] Mike Nichols speak the other night when he was at MoMA, and he was actually saying … the biggest job of the actor is to make a case for their character–that you have to defend your character no matter what. So if you’re playing a serial killer, you have to believe in that completely. … That’s your biggest job. … You’re obviously playing people with all different belief systems that are very different from your own.”

Alicia Silverstone Invents A Kinder Diet

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 in Actresses, Authors.

2009 Heart Of Green AwardsAlicia Silverstone recently spoke with Ecorazzi.com about vegetarianism and her new vegan diet book, The Kind Diet, coming out in the fall.

Alicia teamed up with members of the Physician’s Committee For Responsible Medicine to incorporate solid medical advice into the plan.

You have a new book coming out called The Kind Diet. Tell me about what we can expect to see in it?

Yes, I’m so excited! It really feels like the most artistic expression of myself because it’s everything I’ve wanted to say for a very long time. Every time I worked on it my heart just opened up.

It’s called The Kind Diet and it’s about being kind to yourself and the planet at the same time. It really breaks down Eastern philosophy versus Western philosophy in terms of health. I bring in all the doctors so you can understand the medical and scientific approach and know it’s not just some ditzy girl talking about this stuff.

Paul McCartney Letter To Pamela Anderson: Preaching To The Choir

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, April 29th, 2009 in Actresses, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Pamela Anderson, Chrissie Hynde and Paul McCartney Maybe Paul McCartney is getting old.

The famous vegetarian Ex Beatle has written a letter to former Baywatch babe Pamela Anderson detailing all the benefits of a vegetarian diet.

But why on earth is he telling this to Pamela, who’s been a vegetarian for years?

“There are several reasons for a shift in a much lower input of meat in human diets if not complete vegetarianism…Quite apart from reasons of compassion for animals, a move towards vegetarian diets would also address the crisis in the global food market which leaves the poorest of the poor severely malnourished and ill-fed with food prices that have climbed to substantial heights in recent months largely because of diversion of food grains for conversion into animal proteins.”

Like duh. Pamela knows that dude.

Emily Deschanel Meat’s Not Green Video

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, April 23rd, 2009 in Actresses, Environment-Eco-Green, Videos.

Environmentalists take note: If you eat meat, you’re a hypocrite.

Meat’s not green, says Emily Deschanel in her latest PSA for PETA. The meat industry is responsible for more greenhouse gases than all forms of transportation combined, according to a recent report by the UN on Climate Change.

“There is no such thing as a meat-eating environmentalist. Now-a-days being green is very fashionable — especially in Hollywood,” Emily says. “While I think it is terrific to recycle and drive a hybrid, you can have an even greater impact on the environment by making one simple choice: don’t eat meat.”

“Fight climate change with diet change.”

Emily Deschanel, Rory Freedman Share Vegan Earth Day Date Idea

Gretchen Ryan's "Little Pretty" Exhibition Opening


Happy Earth Day! Do you have big plans?

Bones actress Emily Deschanel and Skinny Bitch author Rory Freedman described to Chloe Jo of the Girlie Girl Army their idea of the perfect Earth Day friend date.

It involves trapezes and vegan food. Hopefully, they’d wait awhile after eating the vegan food and getting on the trapeze.

Rory Freedman: First stop: trapeze school on the Santa Monica pier! It’s one version of man-made fun that doesn’t leave any carbon footprint. You swing around in the air confronting your fear of heights and bodily harm. It’s an amazing workout where you get to be outside, enjoy the fresh air, see the ocean, feel young, and get manhandled by hot guys. When we’re done playing Circus of the Stars, we can go stuff our faces at Golden Mean Cafe, the new vegan spot in Santa Monica that’s all the buzz. The food is ridiculously good, there’s an upstairs mediation/reading room, the space is really Zen (the walls are infused with crushed quartz crystal, selenite, mica, gold, and incense), and the owner and head chef couldn’t be sweeter.

Emily Deschanel: Ooh I can’t wait! I’ve been dying to do trapeze school, and I haven’t been to that restaurant yet!! You know we both love vegan food!!! I wonder what the crystals in the walls will do for us.. We’ll probably feel all centered and new-age-y.

Pamela Anderson Getting RAW With Her Own Fragrance Line

Pamela Anderson at the Millionaire Fair in Amsterdam


Pamela Anderson has been running and hitting the pavement at full speed lately.

She recently collaborated with Richie Rich to develop a cruelty-free clothing and shoe line, Muse. She hinted (if even humorously) at a cooking television show where women make vegetarian food in bikinis.

Now, she’s coming out with her own brand of fragrance.

From her blog, Pammie writes:

“Finally a company with a heart—so glad we found each other- a company in Florida looks promising- I have developed a line of natural body fragrances and have more products to come- first fragrance is Raw by pamela…company is called pamela- super enviro-conscious, cruelty free- yummy-natural- very sexy fragrance I wear every day- will be available this summer—department stores, drug stores, affordable choices- I want to sell where I shop— nothing too fancy— Keep the Country COUNTRY!”

How cool it will be to get inexpensive, vegan fragrances at the local drug or grocery store!

But she’s not done yet. There’s also talk of a beauty drink under the same RAW brand, which stands for “Real Activist Wild.”

Go Pamela!
