Comments Off on Voting’s Not Over: John Abraham Running For Sexiest
Just because the election is over, doesn’t mean you have to wait awhile to exercise your rights. Petadishoom, the youth Bollywood version of Peta, is holding it’s second annual Sexiest Vegetarian Contest.
Lots of hot Bollywood celebrities, like Mr. Abraham pictured here, are in the running, including Kareena Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Shahid Kapoor, R.Madhavan, and Mahima Chaudhary. There are even some Hollywood people running on the ballot, including Alicia Silverstone and soon to be singing star Joaquin Phoenix.
Last year, Kareena Kapoor and R.Madhavan got bragging rights. From the list above, they’re running again, but with all the drastic political upsets that took place in the U.S. on Tuesday, there’s no telling what could happen.
So do your duties. After you’ve finished salivating over the picture of John, of course. Need to have a clear mind before making important decisions.

Sometimes it’s tough to be a big shot actor. The media shows no mercy. Not to mention how hard it is to find good vegetarian food when you’re shooting a film overseas.
When Mark Ruffalo was filming the comedy, The Brothers Bloom, in Serbia, he found it hard to find good veggie grub, and mainly had to eat what is called a Shopska salad. It doesn’t sound half bad-tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, roasted peppers, and sirene (white brine cheese). But eating that every day could make a brother bloom rather gloom.
“It was really sad for me there,” he told the UK Metro, referring to his lack of vegetarian options.
Not to mention the Cannibalistic Serbs who love to snack on vegetarian actors.
“When I told them I was vegetarian they were like ‘you must be from America because nobody here would ever be vegetarian – we tear you vegetarians to pieces and eat you!'”
Unless of course, you give them an autograph. Then they’ll eat someone else.
Always nice to be welcomed abroad.

Joaquin Phoenix has left the building. Well, the director’s building, that is. After over two decades of acting, the Golden Globe winner wants to concentrate on his singing career. His veganness may give him an advantage.
Many singers refrain from dairy before a performance, saying it creates mucous and clogs their pipes. Some in the medical profession disagree, but those who follow the practice would bet a record contract on it.
Vegan actress and singer Portia White (who co-produced an animal rights film Phoenix narrated, Earthlings) once remarked how she noticed less problems with sinus and congestion hindering her voice once she made the transition to completely vegan.
Wishing him well on his vocal endeavors, everyone take a deep breath and sing, “Do Re Mi Fa So La Milk No.”

When vegans breakup, they can still enjoy a meal together peacefully.
Singer Missy Higgins once dated fellow Australian Johnny MacKay, member of the band Children Collide. They broke up, moved on, and went their separate ways.
Both vegan food lovin’ individuals, they happened to run into each other in the vegan food mecca of L.A. Amazingly, there was no fighting, bickering, dirty looks, and both parties got along just dandy.
They also enjoyed a nice dinner and saw a concert afterwards. MacKay told News.com:
“She’s cool. We’re cool… it was a long time ago now.”

Prop 2 was passed in California! This was a vote to change the way certain animals (breeding pigs, veal calves, and hens laying eggs) were kept in farms-allowing them more movement and freedom.
Farmers have to get it together by the year 2015 (it will take time to make all necessary changes).
Dozens of celebrities voiced their opinions in favor of Prop 2 including Moby, Ellen DeGeneres, Portia de Rossi and Tobey Maguire to name a few.
And the countdown begins!

Comments Off on Celebrity Chef Daniel Boulud Proves He Can Cook Vegan
Oh, yeah. Vegan chefs are rocking!
First, we told you how hottie Adam Levine and his Maroon 5 band mates chose vegan raw chef Ani Phyo to cater their Halloween party. Now, the ever so popular celebrity chef movement is recognizing that vegan food deserves its star on the Walk of Fame too.
“Great Chefs Cook Vegan,” is filled with dozens of recipes from celebrity chefs such as Dan Barber, Thomas Keller, Charlie Trotter, Todd English, and Daniel Boulud, pictured here.
“Great Chefs” was compiled by vegan Linda Long, who decided she wanted to challenge the chefs to offer more than lettuce leaves, and cook three or four course meals that would make any vegan beg for seconds and thirds. Long has been a vegan for 33 years, so she definitely could tell them when to send a dish packing!
For an example of what made the cut, try Cauliflower “Steak” With Quinoa.
Great Chefs Cook Vegan would make a lovely complement to One Can Make A Difference this holiday season, don’t ya think? Start dropping hints about your wish list now! Or, if you prefer, you can always buy it for yourself and sing the song of, “Happy Holidays to me.”

Milo stalkers, uh, we mean, paparazzi caught Milo Ventimiglia shopping at Whole Foods grocery store, the place where you have to have either a record deal or television contract to afford.
There’s a picture of Milo walking with three bags from Whole Foods (but no Hayden Panettiere was helping). Milo has been quoted as saying, “I’m a homebody, I’d rather be in the kitchen cooking than hanging out in a bar.”
So refreshing to see a Hollywood star living up to his word.
Obviously, there’s ingredients for something veggie in there. And we bet he’s pretty good at whipping meatless stuff up, given the fact that he’s been eating vegetarian since day 0 in utero and all.
Here’s the question, though: What do you think Milo cooked that night? Does anyone know his favorite dish? Any ideas as to what he made?
