Guys, if there’s anything you need to know about dating, it’s how to respect your chick. Actually, the same advice goes for girls, according to Filipina actress and singer Yasmien Kurdi.
She’s helped PETA Asia Pacific start their New Year off with a bang, appearing in two ads promoting vegetarianism.
“Respect Chicks” and “Try To Relate To Who Is On Your Plate” both feature Yasmien and her co-star, a chicken.
She’s been a longtime supporter of the organization and has worked for them in the past.
“With so many delicious alternatives now available, it’s easier than ever to enjoy great food without causing animal suffering,” Kurdi said.
What a pair of hot chicks they make. As far as we’ve heard, they’re both still single.
Suzanne Shaw is a British actress and winner of Series 3 of the UK TV show, Dancing on Ice, where celebrities are paired and dance on ice in competition.
“Dancing on Ice,” is going on tour soon, and Suzanne was looking for a way to keep fit in the meantime and cutting out meat from her diet did the trick.
“I’ve gone vegetarian – well, I’ve been eating fish, but no meat. I’ve been eating loads of veg and cut out fatty foods and alcohol.”
“I went off meat a little while ago and thought a meat-free diet would be the one for me. And it’s working – I’m feeling good on it,” she added.
“I’m not going to break my diet yet – if I do, I won’t be able to get back in shape in time to start rehearsals in January for the Dancing On Ice tour.”
Hopefully, Suzanne will never break her “diet.” Then, she may never have to “get back in shape,” again.
Being in charge of yummy vegan sweets has got to be the best responsibility ever!
Actress Lake Bell may be best known for her role as Tipper in What Happens in Vegas alongside Ashton Kutcher and Cameron Diaz. But she’s currently starring in a web streamed series on WB.com called Childrens’ Hospital, which pokes fun at other medical shows on TV like Grey’s Anatomy and “ER.”
She’s a vegan and when she went home for the holidays to her family in New York, her job was to take care of the desserts.
Before she left, she told Just Jared:
“I’m a vegan, so I’m in charge of all the vegan desserts. I’ve ordered everything this time, even though I do love to cook. I like to support this bakery called Baby Cakes in New York, which is a vegan bakery. But you don’t know its vegan, it’s so good.”
Lake may never read what we wrote about her, as she’s not a big blog lover, but more into online shopping. Read the rest of her interview with Just Jared.
A new year is here and everyone has started to make their resolutions, including Hollywood stars.
Us Magazine compiled some celebrities’ resolutions for 2009 and one Desperate Housewife wants a kitchen without meat.
When asked what her New Year’s Resolution was, Eva Longoria answered, “To give up meat.”
While Fergie isn’t necessarily leaning towards vegetarian, she did say she was “trying to go organic” and “eat more raw” was included in her goals, which means if she keeps this promise, she’ll definitely be chowing down on more vegan foods. She’s getting married to sweetheart Josh Duhamel in less than 10 days, so she might have to put hers on hold ’cause wedding cake usually isn’t raw.
Sneaky meat eating Aisha Tyler said she just wants to be happier. Well, now that mom and dad aren’t making her eat horrible tofu, we guess she will be. Boo!
Kanye West may have a hard time keeping his resolution, though. “My resolution is to be as nice as possible to the press.”
Jane Velez-Mitchell is a television news journalist who has who covered dozens of high profile cases on television networks such as CNN, MSNBC, Court TV, Fox News, and E!
When she’s doing work for CNN, she she’s sharing some of the veg anchor spotlight with vegan journalist Nicole Lapin. That’s right! Good ol’ Jane is a vegan as well as an animal rights activist and her report on animal cruelty on Celebrity Justice, earned the show two Genesis Awards from the Humane Society of the United States.
Tonight she’ll be on CNN Headline News at 7PM EST talking until her mouth’s dry on tons of animal rights issues, including puppy mills, adoption, spaying and neutering animals, and Prop 2 to name a few. Wow! This woman knows how to cover her beat.
For the final Who Would You Poll of 2008, we’re doing it geek on geek. Peter Rojas co-founded Engadget and Gizmodo, where you have all your nerd techie toys reviewed. Max Levchin created Pay Pal so you can buy those gadgets off eBay after they’ve become outdated-like within a couple of weeks or so after the original owner purchased them. Both are sexy meatless geeks who have loads of money in the bank. So who would you rather do…
If Newton’s 3rd Law applies to news, then if we bring you the Best Of Veggie 2008, ultimately, we have to discuss the worst. And they’re really bad. But in order of fairness, here goes…
#5: Andre 3000 Is Cheap-After bending over backwards to get him a vegan meal prepared, Andre’s waiter didn’t even get tipped! The carnis already say we’re weird and demanding. Now they’re gonna call us cheap. Thanks Andre.
#4:Amazing Race Sheep Butt Eating Incident-Vegetarian Terence Gerchberg was athletic, smart, and a promising part of the duo Terence and Sarah on Amazing Race this past season. So sad that he got taken out by sheep ass.
#2: Gordon Ramsay Vegetarian Children Nightmare-The celebrity chef said his worst fear is one of his children coming home and telling him he or she is a vegetarian. In fact, this would cause Ramsay so much distress, he said he would promptly put them on a fence and electrocute them. Nice.
#1: Sarah Palin Thanksgiving Turkey Slaughter-Palin gave the meaning of “know where your food is coming from” a whole different twist as she did an interview with turkeys getting killed just over her shoulder. Wonder how many converted (to vegetarianism) after seeing this, uh, miracle?
