Comments Off on Kim Kardashian Fitness DVDs–Keeping Up With Nutrition On Set
Jennifer Galardi choreographed Kim Kardashian‘s fitness DVDs and gave some exclusive behind the scenes details to That’s Fit on the moves that help Kim maintain her famous Armenian Princess Kardashian curves.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has hinted that she’s eating more vegetarian meals to stay fit and she and Galardi enjoyed vegetarian food during the filming of the DVDs.
“It’s always challenging to eat well on a production set, but one of my favorite vegetarian restaurants was near the studio, and I introduced Kim to some great-tasting raw and macrobiotic foods, like Scarlett Quinoa (grains made with beets to color the dish a beautiful red),” Galardi said.
“We also ate lots of steamed kale and some sushi. You really can’t practice the “starvation” diet method that many models and actresses employ when you’re shooting energetic exercise DVDs. You’ve got to sustain all that stamina for the cameras. Kim and I were doing multiple takes of these workouts so it’s crucial to give your body the energy it needs from healthy and vibrant foods. Of course, dark chocolate is always a great snack option!”
Learn how you can adapt Kim’s routines anywhere, even at the office, at thatsfit.com.

Comments Off on Katherine Jenkins “Believe” The Vegetarian Rumors
Katherine Jenkins is releasing a new album, Believe, on October 27 2009 and the mezzo soprano singer is probably ready to dodge the bullet of rumors regarding her off stage personality any minute now.
In the past, some have labeled her demanding and difficult.
“I am definitely not a diva,” she said.
Oh, good. And she’s no assault by cell phone Naomi Campbell either.
“For starters I have never thrown a mobile phone at anyone. It is so not me to do something like that. I would never ever.”
“There is always a grain of truth in things that are written, like me ordering a vegetarian meal. But I’ve been a veggie for three years, so what else would I eat? My mum would sort me out if she thought I was acting up – and give me a good slap.”
Katherine took some heat from vegetarians when she agreed to sing at Harrod’s Department Store, the same store that Leona Lewis turned down to open, because it sells fur.

Travis Barker interviewed with Radio Big Boy where confirmed our suspicions that he’s back to eating vegetarian since he quit the diet briefly after a plane crash last year.
Travis has also been toying with veganism, citing the facts he’s learned about the dairy industry as his motivation.
Plus, he’s recruited dear ol’ dad in the game.
RBB: You off of meat again, Travis?
Travis: I’m almost full blown vegan now.
RBB: Cause you were vegan before the accident.
Travis: I was vegetarian. I’ve pretty much cut out dairy as well.
RBB (joking): I was just about to offer you a glass of milk.
Travis: Once you find out all the crazy stuff with dairy, you’d probably second guess it too, man. My pops, he’s a Vietman Vet, hard core, old school-he used to make fun of me cause I didn’t eat meat…Now after being on tour and going to some of the spots, he’s at home trying to find vegan spots in that area.
To hear the entire interview, including Travis’ thoughts on the death of his friend DJ AM, visit Radiobigboy.com.
The vegan conversation starts at Part 3.

Comments Off on Gwyneth Paltrow Says Get Thee To Kogi Truck Taco Stand
In Gwyneth Paltrow‘s latest edition of Goop.com she’s recommending you try the taco stands in L.A.
“I spent most of last spring and summer in Los Angeles doing lots of work and eating some incredible food…from the new phenomenon of the gourmet taco truck, to the tucked away neighborhood spots to the latest Suzanne Goin…the LA food is quietly and unpretentiously on fuego.”
One such taco truck is the Kogi Truck, which features Koren tacos, including a tofu taco that Kogi says even the meat eaters should try.
“The tofu is pan seared and topped with all the fixings. Hell, it’s so good you should try one even if you’re a strict carnivore.”
Oh, yeah. That’s what we’re talking about!
The tofu taco, like all tacos at Kogi Truck, come with the following toppings.
* sesame-chili salsa roja
* julienne romaine lettuce and cabbage tossed in Korean chili-soy vinaigrette
* cilantro-green onion-lime relish
* crushed sesame seeds
* sea salt
* garnished with lime wedge, orange wedge and red radish wedge
Check out the colorful pic of the tofu taco and Kogi’s menu at kogibbq.com.

Comments Off on Beth Ditto Gossip Band “Music For Men” Ex Striking Vegan Radicals
Beth Ditto‘s band Gossip just released a new album this month, Music For Men, and Beth describes her mates as coming from a punk scene of “striking vegan radicals.”
Does this mean Beth and the boys were trying to run away from the vegans?
Ditto announced several months ago that she became vegetarian.
Wonder if she stuck to her regime.

"Bigfoot" 2009
Tobey Maguire once made a bet with his assistant she wouldn’t be able to stop eating Simbree Energy Bars.
Rumor has it the assistant lost and she is supposed to shave her head in the future.
The bars are featured in a clip in the 2009 DVD release of Bigfoot.
“Apparently one of the producers is a big fan of Simbree products and thought it would be a funny recurrent theme in the movie to have Bigfoot become obsessed with the energy food,” said Sally Virgin, owner and president of Simbree Foods.
Amazon.com not only carries the Bigfoot release, but has an exclusive clip of Bigfoot enjoying the Simbree bar-wrapper and all.
Click on the photo above to view the clip.
Simbree Energy products include bars and granolas and are made with NON GMO expeller pressed canola oil and soy.
