“I fail to understand who makes these lists?” Kapoor said after receiving the India Today Woman Award presented by Erin Brockovich. Yes, THE Erin Brockovich, the real life busty and brainy woman who Julia Roberts played in the 2000 movie based on the real story of how an everyday gal exposed a company for their anti-environmental practices.
“Instead of featuring on these lists, I would rather receive awards such as the India Today Woman Award,” Kareena added.
Kapoor was a winner in the arts category, who said this of her achievements.
“I believe in inner strength-that’s why I was able to reach where I am. There may be competition and negativity but if you have an inner belief you can reach your goals and fulfil your dreams.”

Florida’s House of Representatives member Bill Galvano had a habit of ordering a particular sandwich at Andrew’s Capital Bar and Grill in Tallahassee more than a fiscal conservative votes against more spending. So the eating establishment elected to name a sandwich after him.
The Galvano Tuscano Eggplant Supreme is a fried eggplant, spinach, red onion, tomato, sprouts, roasted garlic hummus, and balsamic vinegar treat rolled into a wrap or piled high on bread of your choice.
It’s one of three vegetarian sandwiches on the lunch menu.
Although it’s not known whether or not the Republican representative is vegetarian, it is known that he had a predictable record of ordering the sandwich when he dined there.

M People vocalist Heather Small, who also was a contestant on the UK dance competition show, Strictly Come Dancing, has some favorite spots in London where she knows they’ll treat her like the veg queen she is and cater to her dietary requirements.
One of her favorite spots is Eat and Two Veg.
“They have good vegetarian options like meat-free sausages,” she said on VisitLondon.com.
In mixed veg and non veg company, E & O is her top pick because, “It’s private enough to have meetings there, the food is nice and they cater for my dietary requirements.”

Poor, poor, pitiful Chris Evans.
The actor who is currently staring in Push (the same movie where the vegetarian director wanted to blow up fishes) says he became vegetarian on the advice of his ex-girlfriend (then current, of course) and it turned him the color of veggies-green.
“I was just getting even thinner than I am now,” Evans said.
“I had a hard time putting on weight, and some of my friends said I was getting green. I’m incredibly pale anyway. I don’t know what was missing, but they all said I had a greenish hue.”
“Finally, I was, like, ‘Hamburger, please.’ ”
Maybe if he had said, “nutritionist, please,” he wouldn’t have won an Academy Award for best actor as Kermit the frog.
Many people who experience negative effects from going vegetarian do so because they aren’t eating enough or eating properly. It takes more than three grilled cheese sandwiches a day, Chris. Evans didn’t mention what he ate during his stint.
The actor has also had roles in Not Another Teen Movie, Cellular, Street Kings, Human Torch, and Fantastic Four films.

Denny's All Nighter
Veg Brothers Benji and Joel Madden of Good Charlotte recently made vegetarian and vegan burritos at Denny’s in Los Angeles!
The burritos will be available on Denny’s Allnighter Rockstar Menu.
Yes, Canadians may have their KFC vegan faux chicken sandwich, but now folks in the U.S. have another veg option in a traditionally fast food restaurant.
Since Benji and Joel are both known and outspoken vegetarians as well as known rockstars, who better to choose to be the poster boys of veg Denny’s?
The Rock Star Menus were created when Denny’s allowed musicians like Katy Perry, Taking Back Sunday, Boys Like Girls, and Hoobastank into the kitchen (dangerous, we know) to cook up what they like to chow down on after hours.
Benji and Joel’s creations will be featured on the third Rock Star Menu, which is launching this summer.
Men with guitars are sexy enough. Men with guitars who can cook are almost too much to handle.
You can view more pics of the Madden brothers in Denny’s Kitchen over at Denny’s blog.

Quite possibly Hollywood’s newest vegan couple, Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi will be honored for their efforts to improve care for animals at the Humane Society’s Genesis Awards next month.
The Wyler Award, named after the late Genesis Award founder, Gretchen Wyler, is given to celebrities or other public figures who have made the most noise in standing up for the better treatment of animals.
Looks like they’ve made the right choice. Where do we start?
Portia and Ellen both became vegans this year, saying no to every animal product, whether flesh or a byproduct. They both were active in getting the word out on Prop 2, the measure which passed in California to allow certain farm animals to move around freely.
They even share their lifestyle with people who are fortunate enough to be in their presence. The wedding reception menu was completely vegan. Ellen has given out vegan items quite a few times on her television show.
Wow. That’s a lot of hard work, guys. Have a cold one on us. You deserve it!

The story we posted about Kristen Bell cooking chicken in her crock pot for her roommates even though she herself is a vegetarian makes for some discussion: Do you think most vegetarians are opposed to cooking meat, even when it’s for someone they know personally? What if a vegetarian had a company or employees to look after? Would all the company parties be veg?
When Heather Mills treated the staff of builders on her Sussex home to a Christmas feast, the workers were a little disappointed to learn the meal was vegan.
Monster and Critics reported one of them saying, “We couldn’t believe we were getting a slap-up meal. But it’s all strictly vegetarian – they’ve just shaped the stuff to look like turkey. What’s the point of that?”
The workers took it all in good stride, since Heather was at least serving enough alcohol for them to wash the Tofurky taste from their mouths.
“We will choke it down. After all, Heather’s not against alcohol. Apparently there’s going to be plenty to drink.”
Heather is a staunch vegan, so it would have been strange to hear she was serving meat for them. But what about the rest of you? If you were in Heather’s position, or if you were treating a staff of your employees or contractors, would you force the vegginess on them for that meal?

Comments Off on Dave Chappelle, What The Veg Hell?
We already told you what watching TV on a Saturday night can bring on (like a horrible parody of Joaquin Phoenix rapping and selling hamburgers), so you’d think we’d learn. But no.
The Dave Chappelle Show, which ran from 2003-2006 on Comedy Central, is syndicated on various television networks.
Dave’s not a known vegetarian, but even an omnivore can go to extremes. Like in this part fantasy, part reality skit where Dave invites you into his home while he cooks dinosaur egg.
The show starts off with Dave opening the door, wearing a reversible coat made of “panda fur” and “snakeskin.”
Upon entering, we see chicken bones hanging from the ceiling.
The final blow comes when Dave removes a dinosaur egg from his refrigerator and starts to scramble it. Remembering he has yet another egg left, he retrieves that one as well, but the dinosaur is starting to hatch before he can crack the egg and cook it. As the baby dinosaur peeks his head out of the egg, Dave excitedly shouts that life is happening right before he takes a pair of cutters and snaps off its head. Nice.
Don’t even get us started on his eating animal penis for a mock episode of “Fear Factor.”
You might find his “Jedi Sex Scandal” video a little funnier.
