Comments Off on Wolfgang Puck Catering Did Veg Dinner For Lint Roller Party
The relationship with the Veg Star and celebrity chefs has been a roller coaster lately. Love, hate, love, hate.
Awhile back, we hated Gordon Ramsay for his less than kind remarks about vegetarians and what he would do if his children became one. Then, we loved Rachael Ray for putting an entire chapter of vegetarian recipes in her new cookbook and featuring hottie vegan rocker Bryan Adam’s Juice Recipe in Everyday With Rachael Ray. Recently, Paul Deen made us steam when we found out she delivered 25,000 pounds of ham to a food bank.
But we’re feeling love again, thanks to Wolfgang Puck. Puck’s catering company provided the vegetarian meal for the 15th Annual Lint Roller party, which several vegetarian celebs attended, including Lisa Edelstein and Emmylou Harris. The event served to raise money to assist in providing better treatment for animals, including helping getting rescue dogs adopted.
But this isn’t Puck’s first time around the veggie block. Last year, he created an Animal Welfare Program for himself and his 137 restaurants and catering venues, which consisted of various measures to support the humane treatment of animals and offer only all-natural and organic food.
Some highlights of the program were eliminating foie gras from his restaurants. Foie gras is produced when ducks or geese are stuffed to the point of where their livers swell 10 times the normal size. He also increased the number of vegetarian options on the menus and vowed not to use eggs from laying hens confined in battery cages.
He’s catered vegetarian meals for big events in the past, including a party in Beverly Hills that kicked off the 2007 Genesis Awards, which recognizes news and media organizations that produce work which brings awareness to animal issues.
Puck’s not the only one wanting to drink to the occasion. Thanks to the Wolf for bringing back the veg love for celebrity chefs!

Move over skinny bitches. Alicia Silverstone is out to prove Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin aren’t the only vegan gals who can give advice about weight loss.
Silverstone’s book, “The Kind Diet,” will be published in the fall of 2009. The book aims to show how your diet both affects your feelings of well being and the environment. Included is a 3-Step program to a better you as well as 75 macrobiotic and vegan recipes.
Director of Rodale publishing company, Pam Krauss said, “Just as importantly, she really makes the plant-based foods that are the cornerstone of her diet sound delicious and indulgent, and her enthusiasm for her program is infectious.”
Silverstone is very outspoken about her veganism and has worked with PETA in the past. She’s even gone so far as to put her dogs on a vegan diet. Could a vegan dog treats cookbook be in the works as well?
The terms of the book deal are not yet disclosed, and neither are any of the recipes. We’re hoping Raw Balls make the cut.

Talk has been going on for the past several months about Leona Lewis having a cruelty-free, vegan fashion line in the works. Now we know what she’s designing.
According to the UK Mirror, she’ll be giving Stella McCartney some competition by offering a line of vegan shoes, as well as bags.
Lewis is a strict vegetarian and refused to perform at a Harrods department store seasonal kick off because the store sells fur. She even went so far as to say something was wrong with those who continue to wear fur despite being educated about the cruelty to animals involved in harvesting it.
Her philosophy on using animals for clothing is pretty simple: “I’m a vegetarian. I don’t eat animals, so I won’t wear them.”
And now, many of her fans won’t either.

Paris Hilton’s parents are absolutely thrilled with their daughter’s latest boy toy, Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden.
They’re already referring to him like family, according to Robin Leach’s Vegas Luxe Life Blog. So just what makes Benji such a good man?
Momma Hilton Kathy said:
“He’s changed her life—and I really think she’s genuinely in love for the first time. He’s so good to her and for her. We couldn’t be happier for them. This has honestly become the real thing.”
But most importantly, Papa Hilton Rick said:
“Benji is the perfect example of, ‘Don’t judge a book by its cover. He is polite, well mannered, and he even calls me sir. We love him like family already. Benji doesn’t drink, doesn’t smoke and is a healthy vegan!”
Papa Hilton giving props to Benji being a vegan? Wooohooo!
Paris and Benji have said they have plans for marriage, but nothing is definite yet. If you recall us telling you, the two had a meal after the premiere of her new movie Repo! The Genetic Opera where Benjji ate vegetable spring rolls, but Paris gobbled up some disgusting mini cheeseburger sliders.
If daddy is so impressed with Benji’s veganism, will he convince his little girl to follow her (future) husband’s lead?

Comments Off on Extreme Championship Wrestling Diva Tiffany Goes Vegan
Diva Tiffany is known to the World Wrestling Entertainment World as the business assistant to Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) General Manager Theodore Long. The ECW is a brand of the World Wrestling Entertainment, along with Raw and SmackDown.
Speaking of raw, Diva Tiffany might be adding more of it to her plate these days. She has announced she has become a complete vegan, after several years of transitioning from meat, then vegetarian, and now absolutely no meat or dairy products. She writes on her blog:
“For the last 3 and a half years, I have been working on a long journey to becoming a Vegan. My first and main reason behind this lifestyle change is the moral and ethical rights of animals. I am speaking up for those who cannot speak for themselves. I am a strong proponent for the humane treatment of animals and am making my stand known by not ingesting any animal products whatsoever. That’s right! No meat, no dairy, no eggs…the list goes on. In short, no animal products or animal by-products.”
Diva Tiffany made the decision to cut animal products from her diet after viewing a video on the treatment of animals on farms which made her cry, “for hours after watching.”
Yeah for the Diva. Maybe she can use her business powers to convince some of those WWE wrestlers to follow the footsteps of other hardcore athletes like Ultimate Fighter Mac Danzig and become vegan as well.

Sandra Bernhard knows how to get her vegan footy on!
During a chat with Graham Norton and Alan Cumming, Sandra immediately mentions that she’s wearing a pair of Stella McCartney’s vegan shoes.
The vegetarian actress and comedian has been making people laugh since the 1970s.
An interesting point is brought up during the conversation that Stella’s vegan shoe shop is located in a meat-packing district. Ha! What a way to make a statement.
They’re red, they’re flashy, but best of all, they’re cruelty-free. There’s a close-up of Sandra’s feet if you watch the video.
For some adult humor, be sure to check out Sandra’s shirt to see how she views a particular president.
