Abbie Cornish “Bright Star” Also Vegetarian Star

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, October 26th, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues.

Vanity Fair & Apparition Present the Premiere of "Bright Star" - Arrivals

Actress Abbie Cornish stars as Francis Fanny Brawne, the love interest of famous poet John Keats in the recently released movie Bright Star.

We’re proud to say Abbie is also a veg star and has been that way since age 13.

According to the Times Online, Abbie grew up around farm animals in New South Wales and spent her time painting, swimming and taking photos.

“I never felt like I just want to be an actor, and that’s it,” she said. “I always wanted to work with animals. I want to make music, to paint, to take photos, to travel…“That’s a lot, right? Sometimes I wonder how I’m going to get it all done.”

As a beautiful and talented actress, now’s the best time ever to work with animals and encourage others to do the same, Abbie.

You’re a superwoman! Start promoting adoption or animal rescue ASAP!

Dr. Neal Barnard

Dr. Neal Barnard

When Marilu Henner was asked who to Award the Veggie Guy Power label to, she answered:

“Dr. Neil Barnard for creating PCRM (Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine). He’s great at getting the word out, and he looks so damn good doing it!”

PCRM is a network of doctors and other individuals who work to promote more ethical practices in medicine, research and health care.

They are for alternative methods of testing to animal research and advocate a vegetarian diet.

Dr. Barnard is the president of PCRM, has authored several books, contributed to academic journals and lay magazines and has been a proud veg since discovering the ribs in his med school cafeteria resembled the cadavers he worked on in the lab.

He’s also quite good looking.

Hmm…Maybe the PCRM could promote their mission better if their doctors did do nude veggie PSAs.

Jacqueline MacInnes Wood Daren Kagasoff–Fur Real Or Fur Fake

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, October 26th, 2009 in Actresses, Fur, Fur Real Or Fur Fake.

Daren Kagasoff's Girlfriend Wants You to Notice Her!

Jacqueline MacInnes Wood and her Secret Life of The American Teenager boyfriend Daren Kagasoff were spotted at Madeos in Beverly Hills during a romantic dinner night out.

If Jacqueline knew the secret life of the average fur factory farm, where animals are kept in cramped cages and skinned alive for their pelts, she might think twice before donning a real fur vest and opt for a Rachel Zoe faux vest instead.

Of course, she may already be wearing a fake…

What do you think?

Is Jacqueline faking it? Or is she fur real?

Kinky's Celebrity Pet Files

Kinky's Celebrity Pet Files

Kinky Friedman has just released a book, Kinky’s Celebrity Pet Files, that gives the lowdown on all the four legged celebrities and their human counterparts.

Kinky writes about historical individuals like Mark Twain, Winston Churchill and Ernest Hemingway as well as celebs of today such as Brian Wilson and Willie Nelson.

One of the more humorous parts of the book include the captions under the pets indicating what the animal is thinking.

One such photograph is of Phyllis Diller dressed in a fur coat holding her cat with the caption above the cat reading, “How many cats did it take to make that jacket?”

What better way to illustrate moral schizophrenia than to have kitty tell it like it is.

Kinky Friedman is an animal advocate and founded Utopia Animal Rescue Ranch in Texas (cute photo alert on Utopia’s home page).

Katherine Jenkins Goes Dairy Free For Mezzo Soprano Magnificent

Katherine Jenkins Takes Helicopter Ride To Promote "Believe" In Wales

Not only does Katherine Jenkins try to stick to a vegetarian diet to keep her energy up for her performances, she also avoid dairy, which she feels reduces the presence of catarrh and mucus, two substances that negatively affect the voice.

Along with alcohol and coffee, some sources rank dairy right up  there with things to avoid consuming before giving your Grammy award winning performance.

The Associated Content put it this way:

“It can feel soothing to your voice to drink a large, cool glass of milk, which makes it all the more perplexing that milk is bad for your singing voice. Milk won’t damage your vocal cords, permanently or otherwise, or restrict your vocal range, unless of course it’s really, really cold. What milk will do is create a thick layer of phlegm that will make you sound disgusting. Any dairy product, in fact, has this effect. If you drink dairy before singing, follow it up with a lot of water to wash out some of the phlegm. In a live setting, you’ll get away with it, although you may not be so lucky in a recording studio.”

If you’re a vocal performer, maybe you and the cows can sing better if you just say “No” to milk.

Alicia Silverstone Naughty Husband Christopher Jarecki

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, October 26th, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Male Singers.

"Movies Rock" A Celebration Of Music In Film - After Party

Christopher Jarecki, rock musician and husband of Alicia Silverstone, is normally a pretty well behaved man.

But every once in awhile he gets “naughty.”

When asked if her husband was also vegan, Silverstone replied, “He’s a vegan who flirts with fish. Sometimes he gets naughty and has a little fish here or there.”

But the most important question is: How does Alicia punish Christopher for being bad?

Are you guilty of being naughty in your diet?
