Vegetarian Star

Like many vegetarians who travel to a country different than their home, Shahid Kapoor is a little nervous about finding decent food in Bangkok.

Shahid was scheduled to leave today for Thailand to begin filming for a Parmeet Sethi film.

Shahid recalled the last time he was in the U.S. for 40 days, his assistant had to work extra hard to make sure chefs cooked everything to his preference, as he’s a vegetarian who has some vegan streaks in him, like not eating eggs.

Does Shahid’s right hand man know about Happycow.com, where he can find dozens of vegetarian eateries in Bangkok, or anywhere else in the world?

Wishing Shahid best of luck.

Hunger sure gets in the way of good acting.

PETA has published its annual list of most vegetarian friendly football stadiums and the Oakland Raiders came in first place with their home turf at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum.

“Delicious, cholesterol-free vegetarian food could help offset JaMarcus Russell induced chest pains among Raiders fans and prevent the need for quadruple bypass surgery,” says PETA Director Dan Shannon. “The best way that people can sack potential health problems and hit pay dirt for animals and the environment is to choose vegan foods every chance they get.”

JaMarcus fans have no excuse for downing artery clogging foods, as the Raiders’ stadium serves veggie burgers, veggie dogs, burritos and salads.

Some of our favorites include Tony Gonzalez‘s Atlanta Falcons‘ Georgia Dome, which features baked five-spice seasoned tofu, curried grilled tofu cutlets and soba noodle stir-fry.

Wow. Is this a stadium or an upscale restaurant?

For the Mediterranean football lovers, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Heinz Field offers hummus.

Next year we’re hoping they add some falafel to go along with it. And some belly dancers who…oh, never mind that’s another male bonding form of entertainment.

Redwood Foods

The recently acquired by Heather Mills Redwood Wholefood Company has been named UK’s Most Ethical Vegetarian Food Supplier for the 4th year in a row.

Four years a winner?

Must be like the intense pressure of keeping a 4.0 GPA.

The Ethical Company Organization (ECO) lists the maker of vegetarian foods in its latest edition of The Good Shopping Guide, an ethical reference book.

Redwood received a 91% in its Ethical Company Index, which was the highest score received based on the company’s policies and actions towards the environment, human rights, and animal welfare.

“Concern for the environment, human rights and animal welfare has always been at the heart of everything Redwood does,” Heather said. “We pride ourselves in offering the very best in ethical meat-free foods that help people adopt a kinder, more compassionate lifestyle.”

“I’d particularly like to thank the incredibly loyal and conscientious employees at Redwood, who believe passionately in all that they do, for their endless support and enthusiasm, because they have made the company what it is today.”

Linda McCartney Foods and Quorn are other vegetarian brands featured in the guide, but received lower scores than Redwood.

Joan Jett Barbie Doll. Barbie "Ladies of the 80s."

Finally, we can get that annoying Aqua song out of our heads and replace, “Life in plastic, it’s fantastic,” with “I Love Rock and Roll.”

Mattel is unveiling a new line of Barbie dolls in their Barbie Ladies of the 80s collection this winter.

Vegetarian rocker Joan Jett can be purchased now online and will be available in December of this year.

Barbie has been criticized for having a negative affect on girls’ self esteem, but we can’t think of a better role model than Barbie Joan Jett.

Not only does she practice healthy eating habits by choosing to keep meat off her plate,  she’s given her face and time to pro vegetarian campaigns and animal welfare organizations like Farm Sanctuary.

Now all Barbie Joan Jett needs is a sports car that runs on veggie oil and solar panels on her dream home.

Erin McKenna has scored a deal for her second cookbook, titled Babycakes Covers the Classics and Other Food Fantasies.

McKenna is the founder and owner of BabyCakes NYC, a popular bakery for celebrities and mere unknown everyday mortals which features sugar-free, gluten-free, vegan desserts.

McKenna’s second book will make you ooze with agave syrup as she plans to include donuts, pancakes, Girl Scout cookies and even mac and cheese.

McKenna’s first book, BabyCakes : Vegan, Gluten-Free, and (Mostly) Sugar-Free Recipes from New York’s Most Talked-About Bakery, was such a great hit, she’s not getting away with any free time soon if her editor has anything to do with it.

Says McKenna on her blog:

About 37 seconds after “Babycakes” the cookbook came out I was cradling it my arms like a newborn. Just then my editor, Aliza Fogelson, phoned and the conversation went something like this:

Aliza: Hey Erin! The book is doing great, congratulations!
Me: Thanks!
Aliza: How about writing another one?
Me: No
Aliza: Yes
Me: No
Aliza: Yes
Me: Ok

Babycakes Covers the Classic and Other Food Fantasies will be published by Clarkson Potter.

Comedian and actress Mo’Nique is a quitter of red meat!

In 2007, not only did she swear off beef and steak, but almost all fried foods as well.

Just don’t touch her Doritos.

“I still love those damn Doritos, baby!” Mo’Nique said.

As a result of changing her habits, Mo’Nique slimmed from a size 20 to a size 14.

“Big is still beautiful,” she said, clarifying that “Big healthy people are beautiful.”

Critics are pegging her as a possible Oscar nominee for her role as an abusive mother in the film, Precious: Based on The Novel Push by Sapphire.

It’s awesome that Mo’Nique gave up a major killer of both humans and animals.

Some have found that people who ate red meat have a higher chance of dying over a 10 year period than their non red meat eating peers, mainly due to cancer and cardiovascular problems.

Best of luck to Mo’Nique in both film and her diet.

Emma Heming and Bruce Willis recently enjoyed dinner at Madeo’s in West Hollywood.

Wonder if Emma wears her heart on her sleeve–literally.

Cause if that’s a real fur coat, Bruce’s new wife has got to be heartless.

Bruce may have a thing for hairy ladies, as his former wife, Demi Moore, has made PETA worst dressed celebrity list due to the family of animals in her closet.

But we hope Emma’s a total phony and was wearing a lovely faux fur that evening.

What do you think?

Did Emma fake it? Or was she fur real?

Saturday Night Live recently poked fun of Sarah McLachlan and the ASPCA commercials where her song “Angel” is the soundtrack behind some disturbing facts about animal cruelty.

“You agreed we weren’t going to talk about those creepy ASPCA commercials,” anchor Seth Meyers said.

The “Sarah” begins to sing Angel while pictures of dogs are shown in the background with facts like “this dog’s house is in foreclosure.”

It might be offensive, but hey, this clip is still giving the ASPCA publicity and that’s a great thing!
