Vegetarian Star

Zooey Deschanel is desperately in need of tomato soup in a new commercial for the iPhone 4S/Siri.

Being the celebrity diva she is, she’s not just looking for a place that will serve it to her, but deliver it to her doorstop, as she’s unwilling to put on shoes for the rainy afternoon.

Have no fear, the new iPhone 4S/Siri is capable of letting her know which restaurants in the LA area deliver tomato soup. And we’re tickled pink that one of them is incredibly vegan friendly.

Zooey Deschanel has already revealed her multiple food allergies made attempting to be vegetarian and vegan a nightmare.

Soy, wheat, dairy and eggs are all no-nos. At the end of the day that leaves little left in terms of vegetable protein (rice, legumes) so Zooey gave in and welcomed meat into her life.

Zooey Deschanel had a lovely quinoa dish cooked up for her on Top Chef Masters, but the singer and kid sis of Emily Deschanel says she wasn’t a vegan when she ate it, and her multiple food allergies keep her from being one.

From Time Out Chicago:

“Oh, man, that was awesome! Though, a long time before they aired the show, I gave up veganism. I can’t do it. And I’ll tell you why. I have multiple food allergies. That’s kind of why I became a vegan, because I was like, Oh, I’m halfway there. I can’t have eggs or dairy. I can’t have wheat, either. Or soy. It was impossible being vegan.”

No wheat or soy? Can’t imagine a life without tofu or seitan!

A list of alternatives to wheat reveal a popular vegetarian staple, buckwheat noodles, otherwise known as soba noodles, are gluten-free. Then there’s almond milk instead of soy. Unless you have a nut allergy.

Oh, boy, is there hope for wannabe vegans like Zooey?

Daily Muesli anyone?

Christian Serratos is one of several vegetarian women who’ve made Maxim’s Hot 100 for 2010.

The Maxim editors are already trying to faux butter up to the Twilight babe by welcoming vegetarian food.

“One of the bevy of beauties produced by the Twilight series, Serratos recently posed nude for PETA. Hey, Christian, did we ever tell you we love seitan?”

Last year’s number one Olivia Wilde, slid a few notches to #20, but Olivia Munn is also representing the veggie gals by placing in the top 10.

Other notables in the veg/animal community are Hayden Panettiere and Zooey Deschanel.

The entire gallery of Maxim’s hottest can be found here, and are also in the June 2010 edition of the magazine available on the stands.

Erin McKenna of BabyCakes has perfected the vegan donut.

NY Mag is reporting the eggless, dairyless rings come in several flavors, such as chocolate-glazed, coconut-lemon and cinnamon-sugar.

Sounds delicious!

“Everything has to be not just fine for vegans or gluten-free but, you know … worth it, worth eating and really delicious,” McKenna, the owner of the bakery frequented by many vegetarian celebrities, said.

Will BabyCakes new donuts be worth every penny to the last crumb?

Jason Schwartzman or Zooey Deschanel will have to hold a vegan eating contest and find out.

Valentine’s Day is over, but if you share the love of all things vegetarian with your partner, the passion lasts 365 meals a year. There are several great vegetarian couples in the media eye.

Here are a few favorites.

Dennis Kucinich and Elizabeth Kucinich. Dennis is one of the few vegan politicians (or at least the few who come clean about it) and has been open about how switching to a vegan diet alleviated several health problems. Wife Elizabeth is the public affairs director of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, a group that advocates a vegan diet.

Zooey Deschanel and Ben Gibbard

Zooey Deschanel’s vegetarian platter is a little harder than average to create. As the contestants of Top Chef learned, Zooey not only does vegetarian, but needs gluten-free and no soy.  Ben better study up on the cookbooks when he’s not on tour with Death Cab for Cutie.

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi

The couple decided to go veg together after a dinner date discussion of the ethics of animals in fashion.
The two were honored by the Humane Society for publicly advocating better treatment of animals.

“I love animals, so obviously I’m for wearing cotton as opposed to fur, wool or leather.”

—Emily Deschanel, at a party sponsored by Vanity Fair and Cotton Incorporated which benefited the Humane Society of the United States.

Sounds like Emily shares the same taste in fashion as her vegan friendly little sister Zooey, who made an entire commercial for cotton love.

Starpulse has never failed to give us great slideshows of veg celebrities, like their Sexiest Female Vegetarian Slide Show.

Recently, the site did a show on celebrities who practice the vegan lifestyle.

Sisters Emily and Zooey Deschanel, novice cookbook author Alicia Silverstone, and K.D. Lang, who once compared eating meat to cannibalism, are included along with 12 other celebrities.

“If you knew how meat was made, you’d probably lose your lunch,” Lang once said.
