Women’s Day recently featured a wedding dress wrapped Anna Paquin on the cover with rumored details about her big day with True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer.
A source told the mag Anna and Stephen are living a frugal life in Venice Beach, LA that includes lots of healthy veggie food that you might expect to find in California.
“It’s all very hippie with vegan food, jogging, cycling and surfing,” the source said.
Anna is a rumored vegetarian, so hopefully the life is suiting the soon to be bride well.
Wonder if she almost lost her veggie lunch after taking a whiff of the meat tree on the True Blood set?
Comments Off on Alicia Silverstone “Boston Book Festival” 2009 (Video)
Alicia Silverstone was a guest speaker at the 2009 Boston Book Festival.
As expected, Alicia discussed her debut diet and cookbook, The Kind Diet.
Some might wonder how a vegan diet might change their life.
Alicia had a lot to say about what being vegan “doesn’t” do for you.
“You don’t wake up exhausted. And you don’t need coffee to get through the day. And you don’t keep getting sick and needing anti-biotics. And after a meal, you don’t feel like you needs Tums…”

This Friday, vegan Natalie Portman and almost vegan Tobey Maguire will star alongside each other in Brothers, a story about a woman who runs to the arms of her husband’s brother after she thinks he’s killed in Afghanistan.
Tobey, who plays Capt. Sam Cahill, had to prepare for the role by both learning what Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is from veterans and slimming down 25 pounds to look like an emaciated prisoner of war.
Director Jim Sheridan joked to sfgate.com that Maguire didn’t have any problem “dieting” for the role because, “He is a vegan, so as far as I am concerned he doesn’t eat anyway.”
Huh?
Sheridan must believe the old myth that vegans munch on granola and drink unsweetened papaya juice all day.
Tell that to the contestants and past winners of the Veggie Hot Dog Eating Contest, who put down approximately 1500 veg hot dogs in the name of pure indulgence.
The contest, created by iLoveMikeLitt, offers prizes to individuals and teams that can eat the most vegetarian hot dogs in 12 minutes.
As one competitor, Colin Kalmbacher said, “What is more Austin than a bunch of vegans, vegetarians, and omnivores, all alongside each other, gorging themselves on hundreds of soy dogs for the sheer insanity of it?”

“They’re a great group of people who are super passionate about animal welfare. From inhumane transportation to factory farming, there are many important issues people need to be educated about. I don’t understand why an animal’s spirit – its life – is so undervalued. There are other ways to do things.”
Woody Harrelson recently went on a 40 day detox that consisted of drinking only liquids.
“I went 22 days only having fruit juice, the rest of the time water,” Woody said.
“Also, I haven’t spoken a single word for most of the time. But it was totally worth it. Previously, I felt physically and spiritually blocked. Now I feel great.”
Skipping the heavy meal and going for a lighter snack of fruits and nuts is one thing, juicing for a day is another, but 40 days of detoxing?
Sounds faintish just thinking about it.
Original MTV Real World and VH1 Confessions of a Teen Idol star Eric Nies tried fasting to draw attention to world hunger, but did all the wrong things at first and ending up feeling dizzy and losing muscle before consulting with a friend who recommended energy drinks from fruit juice.
Guess the bottom line is, it’s always best to check with the doc before trying anything so drastic.
Celebrity chefs who show the vegan love are always welcome in the kitchen!
Wolfgang Puck and Ellen DeGeneres got together to make a vegan pizza piled high with local vegetables from a farmer’s market.
Puck is a regular at the farmer’s market and Ellen said that it’s “important to support farmer’s markets” while Puck added “local farmers are really the best,” while getting cheers from the crowd.
Besides supporting local economy and getting fresher ingredients, think of all the fuel you help save by not picking up produce that crosses more lines than rings in an onion.
Watch Ellen and Puck create pizza that’s not only vegetarian, but vegan.
Often, it’s best to pack your own protein bar and spoon from the peanut butter jar than risk the Continental Breakfast where the only food groups are pork, beef and stale bagel.
Leona Lewis found herself a little hungry and disappointed when the hotel she was visiting left her with few choices.
“There’s nothing to eat, the only vegetarian thing they’ve got on the menu is a cheese sandwich,” Leona said, according to the Sunday Sun.
“I’m starving,” she added.
Leona found happiness in sliced apples, but even you might not be so lucky next time.
