Saturday night’s White House Correspondents’ dinner brought many celebrities to the table, including Eva Longoria, Natalie Portman, and actor Tom Cruise.
Not even the Secret Service can prevent the gossip columnists from getting the dish on what people ate, and it was reported that Cruise ordered the vegetarian entree.
Does this mean Tom of Tomkat is going veg?
If so, we’ll go on Oprah and jump on the couch with him as he exclaims, “I love this diet Oprah. I love this diet so much.”
We would never veg OUT someone like PerezHilton.com does, but our speculations were right on target for Ginnifer Goodwin after it was discovered she had a habit of picking up food from Vegan Glory.
Tom is so vocal, if he does go veg, we’ll all know soon.

Comments Off on Dr. Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson: Less Would Eat Meat If They Killed It
In a new documentary, Processed People, author Dr. Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson explains the very simple reason why he went veg: He didn’t want to see animals slaughtered.
Masson thinks that most people feel this way and if we were forced to kill our own meat, at least 90% of people would be vegetarians.
“There are always people who are willing to kill,” Dr. Masson says. “But you know what’s interesting? In every society, butchers are almost a class apart. It’s as if the person does not want to be associated with the act of killing. I think almost everybody has a bad conscience about it.”
We joked around on April Fool’s day when we announced the Hell’s Kitchen star Gordon Ramsay had went vegetarian afteraccidentally electrocuting himself. But this time, it’s for real, if only temporary.
Ramsay has signed up for a vegetarian tour of India and his experiences will be shown as a reality TV show, Gordon’s Great Escape, on UK Channel 4.
“Since coming to prominence in the TV guides, the chef has never shied away from criticising vegetarianism, with non meat-eaters having borne the brunt of his sharp tongue on more than one occasion.”
“As such, it’s hardly a surprise that producers have decided it would be a good idea to see how the committed carnivore gets on when deprived of his regular meaty fixes, with the forthcoming show ‘Gordon’s Great Escape’ set to follow Ramsay as he embarks on a vegetarian exploration of India.”
How will Gordon get along without his “meaty” fix? Will it make him even more aggressive and hostile towards vegetarians upon his return? Or will he gain an appreciation of diet, after experiencing the spices and flavors that can be combined to create a palatable, meat-free dish?
The show could only get more entertaining if vegan hating Anthony Bourdain tagged along.
It’s known that the octogenarian has been a vegetarian for decades and Cloris revealed what prompted her to try the diet.
She was suffering from several medical problems that doctors couldn’t solve, including hay fever, asthma and insomnia. She started a juice fast, which cured her ailments, and the rest is veggie history.
The actress and Dancing With The Stars contestant is a strong advocate of the diet, posed for PETA for the Let Vegetarianism Grow On You campaign, and even chided a fan during her book signing for drinking soda pop.
“Quit, why don’t you?” Cloris admonished. “It will save your life. Start having juice.”
“There are so many great sources of healthy veggie protein, like tofu (not fried), beans, and lentils, that can be seasoned and mixed with vegetables to create savory and filling dishes that would appeal to anyone, vegetarian or not. Kirstie Alley’s vegetarian diet downfall (besides all that butter) was that she lacked balance — enjoy vegetarian enchiladas and bread, but make sure that’s not all you’re eating.”
Are you a vegan who has “cheated” before? Do you shove mom’s dairy cookies down your throat during the holidays, then eat Chciago Soy Dairy Ice Cream for the rest of the year?
Singer-songwriter Bif Naked has just admitted to giving in to some serious yam roll lovin’during her treatment for breast cancer.
It appears that beet juice got a little boring and she needed some spice in her life.
“I’m a raw food vegan — I’ve been doing that a long time — but one month all I wanted was yam rolls, and they’re definitely not raw. To this day, I can barely look at beets. I used to devour beet juice, and ate grated beets on salad every day, but now I can’t stand the smell.”
Hey, nobody said all vegans were perfect vegans. Now who wants to confess?
We have mocked Gwyneth Paltrow more than a few times on her two-faced vegetarianism which has consisted of such acts as saying no to meat publicly, then teaching others to grind turkey patties.
Now, The Spoof, a fictitious news blog, is getting in on the action and has written a hilarious satire where Gwyneth readily admits she hates vegetables and goes to a park in South Africa to eat rhinos.
“Fading actress Gwyneth Paltrow has admitted, after six years of marriage and the same amount of years as a vegetarian, that she does not, in fact, like vegetables.”
“Paltrow claimed her husband took the news surprisingly well and is taking her out for dinner tonight at an all-you-can-eat Game Park in Johannesburg, South Africa.”
“”I’m so hungry I could eat the arse out of a dead rhino!” said Paltrow, licking her lips with glee. Martin had no comment, preferring to simply sulk instead.”

Ah, the list of annual chores to complete. Doctor check-ups, taxes, and voting for the sexiest vegetarian celebrity.
