Danielle Bremner "Utah"

Danielle Bremner "Utah"

Danielle Bremner, known for her tag signature of Utah, has been sentenced for 6 months after pleading guilty to more than a dozen vandalism charges in the Boston area, where’s she’s also been banned.

Bremner, who gawker.com makes a physical comparison to Zooey Deschanel, also happens to follow a similar diet as the recently married singer and actress. Bremner is vegan while Zooey eats mostly vegan.

She and her partner in crime Jim Clay Harper were found responsible for painting graffiti in several cities, and she served time in Rikers for 6 months, where she complained about the lack of vegan food and threatened to sue.

Finally, they got her the peanut butter and soymilk she wanted.

Hope the new jailhouse has tofu on the menu.

Hope she also got Jim to go veg before the two were separated by bars.

What are your thoughts on graffiti?

Art or asinine deviance?

Natural Resources Defense Council's 20th Anniversary Celebration

Julia Louis-Dreyfus is doing everything she can to green the set of The New Adventures of Old Christine.

“Every light bulb is a compact fluorescent,” Julia told Mother Nature Network. “We have a big recycling program. We tried to get rid of water bottles last year and failed at it. It’s a tricky thing to do with a crew, but we’re going to try it again this year.”

Julia is an environmentalist who is active with the NRDC and the Environmental Media Association, and serves on the boards of Heal the Bay and Heal the Ocean.

But Julia hasn’t made one important move to protect the environment-she hasn’t yet gone vegetarian.

“I love vegetables— I should be a vegetarian, and I feel guilty saying I’m not,” Julia told Shape. “But I like meat and chicken.”

We’ve already give Julia the how to eat like a carnivore by shopping in the faux meat section lecture, so we’ll just suggest one final thing: Why not make the set of Old Christine greener by implementing a meat-free day of the week?

reality television

Gordon Ramsay, the man who joked he put his kids on a fence and electrocute them if they ever became vegetarian, is featuring a vegetarian challenge during one of the final episodes of Hell’s Kitchen.

This Tuesday, October 6 2009, the final four chefs will compete in a challenge to please hungry, finicky vegetarian children. The orders will come from Felix Light, a child who has portrayed the foul mouthed chef in comical videos.

From Fox:

“The final four chefs get a pep talk by a pint-sized version of Gordon Ramsay,Felix Light, and are then given the unique challenge of preparing 80 vegetarian entrees to serve to 80 hungry guests. The surprise twist is that the guests are 80 screaming and hungry kids, who don’t necessarily love vegetables! The kids get to choose the challenge winner, who will be rewarded with a fancy makeover from a Beverly Hills salon and a lunch date with Gordon at the world-famous Nobu. When dinner service begins, two contestants are pushed to the limit and fall apart on an all-new episode of Hell’s Kitchen airing Tuesday, Oct. 6 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (HK-613) (TV-14 D, L).”

Felix Light does a good job of playing “Mini Ramsay.” Watch the clip below to see Felix protest a sausage that, in his words, tastes like “dogsh*t.”

Maybe Felix would find veggie sausages more satisfying?

Thanks to Tracie for the tip!

Woody Harrelson “Zombieland” Vegan Twinkie

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, October 4th, 2009 in Actors, Film & TV, Food & Drink.

Premiere of Sony Pictures' "Zombieland" - Arrivals

If you’ve seen Zombieland starring Woody Harrelson and Jesse Einsenberg, you know that Woody gets his energy to run from the zombies by snacking on his favorite food of Twinkies.

In real life, Woody’s a raw vegan and regular Twinkies won’t cut it.

Just like Kal Penn had veggie burgers waiting for him at White Castle during the Harold and Kumar film, the directors on the set had specially made vegan Twinkies ready for Woody.

“They were actually edible for a guy like me,” Woody said.

Zombieland Twinkies were made from cornmeal and other vegan ingredients. This leads Woody to believe companies really can make healthy junk food if they put their mind to it.

“There’s a possibility that (manufacturer) Hostess could do a healthy Twinkie. It’s a thought.”

While they’re at it, can we get some vegan Ho-Hos too?

Saphoros Skincare LJ Botanicals 61st Annual Primetime Emmys

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, October 2nd, 2009 in Cosmetics And Beauty Products.

61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards - Press Room

The 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards featured Saphoros Skincare Company’s brand, LJ Botanicals as a gift for the Everybody Wins at the EMMY® Awards gift bag, distributed by Distinctive Assets.

Did 2nd time in a row winner Alec Baldwin use some of LJ Botanicals vegan moisturizers to touch up his pretty face during commercial breaks?

The Vegan Skincare Essentials System was chosen for the gift bag, which includes a gentle cleanser, toner, exfoliator, eye treatment and moisturizer.

The kit was also presented in 100% recycled packaging.

Distinctive Assets founder Lash Fary said, “As our largest organ, our skin is no less susceptible to the good and bad we put on it. The healthier and more natural our skincare regime, the better (and younger) our skin will look and feel. That’s the reason I love this new vegan skincare line by Saphoros. And even if you’re less vegan and more vain, the efficacy of this exciting new line will have you blogging, ranting and raving to all of your friends!”

Donna Standridge, CEO of Saphoros Skin Line said, “The demand for more natural and vegan products is growing tremendously. The public is becoming increasingly more aware of what they are putting on their skin and have begun educating themselves on ingredients and potential dangers of some of them. Our ultimate goal is to provide the most safe and effective products as we can using natural and organic alternatives, and this set shows that. There are so many natural/organic alternatives to these anti-aging chemicals that work just as well, if not better, and are safer for our bodies. We want to show that luxury doesn’t have to be complicated.”
