Bob Barker Pays For PETA Los Angeles Headquarters

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 in Animal Issues.

Bob Barker Priceless Memories Book Signing

PETA would have been satisfied with a mini freezer and a microwave, but Bob Barker paid over 2 million dollars to renovate a building in Hollywood where the animal rights group is opening their new headquarters.

There will certainly be a lot of frozen tofu dinners in the office fridge, though.

According to the San Fransisco Chronicle, The LA location will be home to the group’s media, marketing, youth outreach and campaign departments.

The opening ceremony ribbon will be cut today at Sunset Boulevard and Alvarado Street.

SELF Magazine Party Celebrating the July 2009 LA Issue

On a recent episode of The Biggest Loser, coach Jillian Michaels congratulated a contestant for a job well done when he ditched the vending machine snacks and opted for a veggie sub sandwich at Subway instead.

Biggest Loser contestants have some great support on the show.

Michaels is a pescatarian, while Bob Harper is totally veg!

Harper pitches a vegetarian diet to the contestants on the show, or at least one that’s primarily plant based.

“I always bring up the option of a vegetable-based diet, which I call Diet A, and talk about the many easy ways to get protein, such as from beans, tofu, broccoli, and quinoa,” he said. “For the contestants who insists they need their meat, I have Diet B, which is still very heavy on veggies.”

Diet A sounds like the best way to be the biggest winner!

Kelly Bensimon “Playboy” Shoot Took Too Many Chicken Wings

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 in Not So Vegetarian, Reality TV.

Brooklyns Finest New York City.

Kelly Bensimon revealed the disgusting details of how she prepped for her photo shoot for Playboy.

The Real Housewives of New York City star told US Magazine that she ate nothing but chicken to make her body look full and voluptuous.

“I literally drank beer — Corona — and ate chicken wings for two weeks!”

Bensimon said that between running and riding horses, she gets really thin, but wanted a different image for the cover.

“I’m pretty full in those pictures, but I like it. That’s really me. That’s what I look like. It’s real,” said Bensimon.

“I want people to enjoy their life, not be starving and going to get a colonic because they think they need to be skinnier.”

Playboy is suppose to turn people on, but the thought of eating a potentially salmonella covered leg ripped from a cute little bird at a factory farm sounds like a real turnoff.

The next time she aims for the full figured Anna Nicole look, Kelly should just load up on some tomato pie dipped in garlic flavored olive oil.
