Michelle Delamor
Season 9 American Idol contestant Michelle Delamor says her personality sets her apart from the others, but the Veg Star thinks her diet makes her even more fantastic.
“Most people would be surprised to know that I’ve been a vegetarian since I was three,” Delamor said.
“I don’t eat any animals.”
She didn’t give her reasons for going vegetarian, but added she also loves baking for herself and others.

Leona Lewis is about to embark on her first ever headline tour and although she’s a little worried about getting homesick, she’s already packing her bags with her favorite veggie comfort foods.
“The worst thing is missing home. Like anyone who has to travel for their work, you do get a bit homesick sometimes. So I travel with my PG Tips tea and my baked beans.”
By eating low fat, high fiber and high protein plant foods like beans, Leona doesn’t have to worry much about looking good for her audience.
She told new! magazine, “I think every woman feels under pressure to look a certain way, and women do it to other women – which seems so bizarre. I want to look good, but being healthy is my main thing. I want to promote being healthy in your own body shape.”

Tom Colicchio is working on a new cookbook that is set to be released in 2011 through Artisan books.
According to Artisan’s executive director of publicity, Amy Corley, Colicchio’s new book will be, “very different from anything he’s ever done.”
Might Top Chef fans may be in for less meat and more potatoes?
During a recent benefit for The Hungry in America Project hosted by FEED Projects and the Feed Foundation, Colicchio and Natalie Portman paused for a moment to chat with The Stylist.
Portman expressed excitement about one of Colicchio’s vegetarian recipes.
“He does a delicious potato flatbread pizza,” she said.
Colicchio’s new cookbook will not only offer recipes and techniques, but also Tom’s “philosophies and beliefs” about cooking food.

Is Simon Cowell giving up mincemeat for Leona Lewis?
The Sydney Morning Herald reports the Bleeding Love singer has convinced X Factor and American Idol‘s most cantankerous judge to support Paul McCartney‘s Meat-Free Mondays campaign.
And it sounds like Leona has Simon already eating tofu from the palm of her hand.
“Anything I ask Simon to get involved in regarding my charity and environmental concerns he always does. He’s cool like that.”
Meanwhile, Leona is spreading the word about vegetarianism at work.
“I’ve banned meat from all photo shoots to the tour itself simply because I don’t support the meat industry.”
Simon’s mother, Julie Cowell, reports her son is getting serious with his girlfriend.
Julie told Britain’s Hello magazine, “I haven’t seen the ring yet, but I do believe they will get engaged. But if you’d asked me this three weeks ago, I would have said, ‘Absolutely not!”
Will there soon be a wedding with vegan cake after the ceremony?

“It’s like I have a magic, secret toolbox that handles everything and I want everybody to have it because it’s amazing. It really opens your heart up and takes the gunk away. All that nasty food we put in our body that is just gunking up our system … it’s hard to know what’s your right move. So I feel grateful for (my diet) because of the clarity I feel.”
—-Alicia Silverstone, creatively stating how a vegan diet helps her maintain a busy routine and keeps her looking great for performances like her recent play, Time Stands Still.

Fans of Daryl Hannah might see less of her on screen, unless there’s a casting for the female Evan Almighty in the works.
Hannah says she prefers spending time with her animals than on a movie set, according to Contact Music.
“I’ve been acting since I was 11 years old and it’s an incredibly wonderful and beautiful creative outlet and I think it can be an inspiring thing for people’s imaginations and a wonderful escape,” Hannah said.
“I still love movies and I always will but, as I grow up, my priorities shift a little bit to things of a little more substance and I want to be of service as much as I can.”
Having alpacas, chickens and roosters, she’s got plenty of non human friends to give her attention to.
Hannah says she often takes in rescue animals and the ones she doesn’t give away become permanent residents at her farm.
