Vegetarian Star

Instyle.com caught up with several actresses at Comic-Con to ask what they would do if they could be superheros.

Emily Deschanel’s superhero vision isn’t that far fetched, as there are already plenty of ladies putting cabbage around their bodies.

“I’d wear a lot of lettuce and turn everything into vegetarian meals. I could turn everybody into vegans and stop all cruelty in general.”

Sounds like the ultimate superfantasy.

What would you do if you played superhero for a day, week, or forever? Allow endangered species to thrive? Veganize all fast food restaurants? Chit chat with your favorite animal friend?

“New York is a big, gritty city, but it’s also the easiest place in the world to eat well. Within a 10-minute walk of my studio, there are probably 20 vegetarian restaurants. My favorite is still one of the oldest vegetarian restaurants in New York: Angelica Kitchen, on 12th Street. I’ve probably eaten there 2,000 times in my life. I like the fact that it’s been around for so long; it doesn’t take credit cards and there’s still always a line out the door.”

—-Moby, in a letter explaining why the vegan restaurant, Angelica Kitchen, is one of many reasons he loves New York.

Angelica’s has been feeding veggie New Yorkers since 1976, and features both everyday and special menus filled with delish vegan dishes like the Open Face Tempeh Sandwich, miso soup, noodle dishes and much more.

Potentially being able to spy on Moby makes another great reason to stop by.

Woody Harrelson converted someone to vegetarianism, if only temporary.

During the filming of an upcoming film, Zombieland, Woody convinced director Ruben Fleischer to eat vegetarian during the duration of the shoot.

“The script is fantastic,” Jesse Einsenberg, who plays Columbus, told altpress.com. “Of course the premise is silly-there’s no way to describe it without sounding silly-but the script is great. It’s really wonderful and unique, and the characters are fantastic. Woody Harrelson is in it, and the director agreed to become a vegetarian for the duration of the shoot because Woody Harrelson is vegan.”

And let’s give it up for the environmentally friendly set.

“The set is pretty eco-friendly, actually. We recycle a lot onset, which is good, because movies are a very wasteful industry.”

Zombieland is set to the premise that after America is ravaged by a zombie plague, the few lone survivors run from the living dead, arriving at a theme park they believe to be safe.

Actress Ginnifer Goodwin took a stand for animals during the Humane Society’s Taking Action For Animals rally on Capitol Hill yesterday.

“As long as we keep sharing there will be a mass domino effect. And only good can come of that,” Goodwin said, praising the Humane Society of the United States’ efforts for better animal protection laws.

Ginnifer was one of several celebrities to take part in the HSUS TAFA event.

Alicia Silverstone has teamed up with EcoTools, a division of Paris Presents, to produce an eco-friendly line of makeup brushes and bags this December.

Silverstone should be prepared for a lot of press this winter, given the fact her vegan diet book, A Kind Diet, is also expected to be released in the fall.

You’ll be able to carry your five-piece brush set in a cosmetic bag made from recycled materials and hemp,.

“I only wanted to do something that hadn’t been done before,” Silverstone told WWD. “This is a conscious product line that is good for the planet. Unless you need it, it’s just stuff,” she added.

Being the down to earth gal she is, Alicia’s products will be available in drugstores.  Along with a five-piece brush set and bag ($16), she’ll have a cosmetic bag ($9); a cosmetics brush bag ($13); a train case ($15); and an overnight bag in the set ($20).

This lovely photograph captures Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson vacationing in Italy on a raft titled, “Wet and Wild.”

The pic conjures up all sorts of ideas in our minds, but one that particularly sticks out is what the two boys are saying to each other in the tangle.

Given the fact Owen was spotted getting takeout at a popular vegan restaurant, and now he’s hanging out with the fanatical raw vegan foodie Harrelson, seeing the two of them together makes us (wishfully) think Woody might have given Owen “the talk”…about going veg.

Since vegetarianism and veganism are ongoing dialogues, they could possibly (alright, very remotely) have been talking about the veg life at that very moment!

But what do you think they’re saying to each other?

Great news for you vegan musicians who happen to have Beatles nostalgia.

Planet Waves, a division of the D’Addario Co., is marketing the first set of authorized Beatles guitar straps and picks.

The straps and picks feature designs inspired by Beatles albums, such as Revolver, Meet the Beatles, and Yellow Submarine.

They took a little extra effort to manufacture because ex Beatle Paul McCartney insisted they not contain leather.

“(With) the straps, we also had the limitation from Paul McCartney being vegan that we weren’t allowed to use any hides,” said company president and CEO Jim D’Addario.

Well, actually, Paul’s just vegetarian, but who cares about technicalities!

“We had to create these out of synthetic materials and then put a sealer on them so they don’t affect the finish on guitars.”

Because of the synthetic material, extra care must be taken.

“You have a compatibility issue between some of these plastic materials and some of the finishes on vintage instruments and the instruments that are still made with natural lacquer finishes. And you’ve got to be careful when you put your guitar away you don’t store the strap behind the guitar with a lot of pressure on it. It could change the finish. We put a sealer on them that insulates the strap from the guitar finish. … So we have a little warning sticker on the back that tells people be careful with it. Lots of these straps are sold on the market successfully. It’s a question of making sure you know how to take care of it.”

So not too much drinking on stage during your performance or you won’t be able to care for your Beatles straps and picks properly when you put them away, okay?

The straps and picks can be ordered online.

Nellie McKay has expressed her love for junk food and the interest in manufacturing more junk food for vegans.

The singer and songwriter may have gotten her wish because Skittles has taken the gelatin out of their candies.

Weird fact: Skittles had already taken the junk out of  their trunk (a.k.a. the gelatin from their product) in other countries. What took them so long to get on board in the U.S.?

But now’s not the time for criticism. Let’s give it up for Skittles and show ’em how we appreciate them making a mainstream product veg friendly.
