Vegetarian Star

Chad Ochocinco

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco tackled the serious subject of fur in this latest ad for PETA, one of the animal right’s organization’s “Ink Not Mink,” PSAs.

Like many people in the dark about the use of animals for clothing or food, Ochocinco painfully learned fur coats really are made from something that once breathed life. “To tell you the truth, when I was younger, I thought it was really all fake,” Ochocinco says in an interview, which can be viewed below.

Right along with fur, the leather industry makes a huge chunk of the portion of animals used for fashion.

How refreshing it is to know that Wilson, one of the makers of footballs, make synthetic leather footballs for the compassionate NFL fan.

Katie Cassidy found out the hard way that the words “Let Them Eat Cake” should have been proceeded by “Give them some laxatives.”

“The Monte Carlo” star was filming in Hungary for the movie and had nothing but bad luck when it came to food. First, she discovered there isn’t much to eat there that doesn’t have animal products in it. Then, when it was time to shoot a scene involving eating, the director suggested she eat baked goods. The only problem was, like many movie scenes, it took several shots to get it right. And each time, Cassidy ate more cake. Constipating cake.

“I’m telling you, when you go from being vegan to eating cake like that, your bowels are frozen for probably three weeks!” Cassidy told George Lopez.

Fran Drescher is back with a talk show to celebrate that nasal accent we all loved and hated on “The Nanny.”

“The Fran Drescher Tawk Show,” is set to debut on Fox today.

The 90s sitcom star indicates one of the major topics she’d like to discuss is health, being a cancer survivor herself. Interestingly enough, veganism has sparked her interest as the medium in which people may be able to obtain better health.

“I’m not a vegan, but I’m curious about it,” she said, according to Fox News.

Vegetarian Star will suggest Fran read Living Vegan For Dummies, to get a glimpse of everything from nutritional needs, meal plans and tips for traveling and eating out.

What advice would you give to the vegan curious Drescher?

Billy Bob Thornton is living in the Year of the Raw. Wait, isn’t 2010 the Year of the Tiger? Yes, but it’s Billy’s year to eat healthy in an attempt to balance other nasty activities he does like smoking.

Consuming a diet of what he describes as “beyond vegan,” the actor follows a strict raw diet of fruits, vegetables, and plant proteins, but he alternates that with eating “regular stuff.”

Fresh isn’t how you describe Rachael Leigh Cook‘s preference for some Thanksgiving sides. Proof that vegetarians aren’t always stuffy foodies who refuse anything not made from scratch, Cook shared how she likes her berries.

“I’m a vegetarian. I’m all about stuffing and only canned cranberry sauce. If you can’t see a serial number stamped onto it, I don’t want it.”

Hey, there are worst foods you can eat from a can, like Barb-B-Q sandwiches. Eww! Plus, now’s a great time to mention some canned foods are actually better than fresh because the nutrients are more readily absorbed by the body.

Our pick for Cranberry Sauce is Organic Grown Right, available in either jellied or whole berry. Certified Organic. Not to mention Kosher. And check out their other products from the tin like butternut squash and pumpkin pie filling.

Reports are that vegetarian designer Stella McCartney has given birth to her fourth child in London by Cesarean.

The birth comes just weeks after the launch of Stella’s first clothing line for children, which features eco-friendly organic fabrics, no fur or leather and even a shirt that benefits the McCartney family’s Meat-Free Monday campaign to reduce meat consumption’s impact on the planet.

Will Stella’s latest edition serve as an inspiration for more baby designs from her collection? Ethical and environmentally conscious moms of the world sure hope so!

Brian Baird

You not likely to meet a vegan who doesn’t know that Ohio representative Dennis Kucinich won’t be eating turkey today. But there are some vegetarian and vegan politicians who aren’t as vocal about their diets, or at least haven’t gotten as much media coverage.

One of Washington’s Democratic representatives Brian Baird, who’s wrapping up a 12-year run in Congress this year, told Politico he too will be seeking dinner options that go easier on the ecosystems.

“I’m a vegetarian,” Baird said. “Last year, a friend of ours who is a vegan gourmet chef cooked for us. We’ll be enjoying lots of delicious meat-free dishes, which is better for the planet and the animals.”

Fantastic! Keep the “lame-duck” off the table so it can scramble to tie up loose ends during the last few days of the session.
