Lindsay Lohan “Whitney Museum Gala” Fur Real Or Fur Fake

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 in Actresses, Fur, Fur Real Or Fur Fake.

The Whitney Museum Gala in New York!

Lindsay Lohan arrived at the Whitney Museum of American Art for the 2009 Whitney Museum Gala.

With so many beautifully preserved works at the Whitney like Georgia O’Keeffe paintings there’s really no need to bring ancient caveman artifacts like fur coats into the institution.

Lindsay’s been criticized for her fur wearing ways in the past.

Has she learned an important lesson and changed her ways?

Take a look and judge for yourself.

Is Lindsay’s fur coat real? Or is she faking it?

The Kind Diet

All this week, we’re hosting a giveaway and three of our lucky readers will receive a free copy of Alicia Silverstone’s new vegan diet and lifestyle book, The Kind Diet.

Every day until the end of the contest, we’re bringing you a few of Alicia’s thoughts on The Kind Diet, with a reminder to leave a comment to enter to win.

Today, Alicia explains how The Kind Diet is different from other diets.

“The Kind Diet doesn’t ask people to freak out about calories, carbs or the glycemic index. It will change their relationship with food and their bodies, transforming the whole idea of dieting for them while helping them to lose weight easily, attain glowing skin, increased energy & strength, as well as a more-efficient immune system. The bottom line is–the food we choose is not the only factor in our health and well-being, but it’s definitely one of the most important—and, luckily, it’s one we have control over.”

And with recipes like “Waffle, Sausage, and Cheese Panini” who said anything about a “diet?”

Enter to win The Kind Diet today.

Mayim Bialik: Life’s A Lot Greener Since “Blossom”

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, October 20th, 2009 in Actresses, Environment-Eco-Green.

Premiere Screening For "REX"

Mayim Bialik is a green mommy, making her own shampoo, cleaning and granola products for her family.

In a recent interview with the Sierra Club, Mayim discussed how life on the screen has become more environmentally friendly as well.

Blossom ended when I was 19. Things are a lot different now. Recycling is a standard part of everyone’s vocabulary, which is significant because of the amount of scripts. The beauty products used aren’t tested on animals and are gentler on the environment. Green practices are becoming a much more accepted line of conversation. I don’t wear leather and that’s something easier to address now.”

Daniel Negreanu Hits The Ball Like A Vegan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, October 20th, 2009 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Food & Drink.

WSOP No-Limit Texas Hold 'em World Championship

Poker playing champion Daniel Negreanu takes a little humorous heat from his buddies every now and then for his herbivore diet, as he described during a recent blog entry at cardplayer.com:

“After dinner we all went to my house to do a golf pool for the tournament. Then, Erick went after my books again. I have boxes of my book at home that are there for me to sign and he likes to mess with them, writing messages on random pages. He’ll write “I hit the ball like a vegan, signed Daniel Negreanu” or other equally stupid stuff.”

Considering this vegan since 2003 has several poker accomplishments under his belt, we’d saying hitting the ball like a veg ain’t a bad thing at all.

Keep workin’ the vegan chips, Daniel!

Vegan singer Chrissie Hynde also donated her print to the event.

When John Challis was asked why he chose to participate, he answered:

“I love cats and I have done a lot of work for charities with a similar cause. We actually inherited some feral cats on the farm and we decided to take care of them. They were breeding at the time, so we took them to the vets and found homes for their kittens. We weren’t really cat people before that, but I think that cats have a way of finding you. We have one male cat and one female- they both follow us around all of the time”.

Jon Gosselin Hailey Glassman Busted For Horse Carriage Ride

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, October 20th, 2009 in Animal Issues.

Jon Gosselin and Hailey Glassman go Whole Foods shopping in New Jersey

First he played the role of dog dumper, now Jon Gosselin‘s been spotted using the controversial horse-carriage attraction to impress his lady friend Hailey Glassman.

After PETA got word of Jon riding the wild horses, they sent him a letter reminding him of the dangers involved with such an industry, not to mention the cruelties of the tourist attraction to the horses.

“Horse-drawn carriages cause countless traffic accidents that injure both horses and people, and veterinarians have shown that the horses contract lung disease from working every day in city traffic with their noses near exhaust-spewing tailpipes. The damage to horses’ lungs is comparable to what heavy smokers experience. Horses are forced to pull carriages in all weather extremes, and many of them go lame from constantly walking on hard pavement (their hooves were designed for grass and dirt). When they grow too old, tired, or ill to continue pulling heavy loads, many worn-out horses are slaughtered and turned into dog food or feed for carnivores in zoos or are shipped overseas for human consumption.”
