VV Brown Puts Hummus And Veggies In Her Shopping Cart

VV Brown DJ at Maya Club

VV Brown, a former steak loving girl who’s thought about giving up eggs, is now a fish eating vegetarian who shared what she likes to buy at the grocery store in the regular column at The Guardian, What’s In Your Basket?

Speaking of fish, VV’s had a bad experience with seafood while on a date.

“He insisted we try oysters. I copied him with the lemon juice and the little fork, and down it went. It felt like swallowing snot – £2-a-pop snot. Never again”

Sounds traumatic enough for VV to chuck the whole pescatarian thing and go full veg!

VV’s basket contains hummus, which Dr. Briffa at The Guardian says is good for maintaining steady blood sugar levels.

“The chickpeas here will give a good sustained release of sugar into the bloodstream, and make a light yet quite nutritious pre-gig meal when combined with crudités (rather than crackers).”

Kristen Bell arrives at the 52nd annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles

So you already know, actress, great vegan cookbook author and eco goddess Alicia Silverstone loves gardening in the nude.

But did you know another veggie, Kristen Bell, likes to do her work in the buff as well?

Kristen has confessed to being “free-spirited” and makes breakfast nude.

Her latest film, When In Rome, features Kristen playing a woman visiting her sister in Rome, who suddenly draws the attention of several suitors.

Ironically, one of them is a billionaire sausage maker, played by Danny Devito.

Vegetarian celebrities have been known to introduce fellow cast and crew members on a film set to the wonderful world of meatless.

Bet if Kristen cooked fake sausages in the nude, every male on When In Rome would give up steak instantly.

Anne Hathaway accepts her award as Woman of the Year at Harvard's Hasty Pudding event in Cambridge, Mass

Anne Hathaway was honored as Woman of the Year by the Harvard’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals student drama group.

The star in roles from The Princess Diaries and The Devil Wears Prada sat on top a red convertible as she moved along with the parade in the snow.

According to the American Chronicle, before the parade, Anne and her family enjoyed a vegetarian meal in the Upstairs on the Square restaurant, consisting of “winter greens and Honeycrisp apples, hand-rolled fresh ricotta cannelloni stuffed with seared mushrooms, walnut pesto, cream spinach and aged gruyere and, for dessert, warm apple bread pudding with cinnamon ice cream.”

The after ceremony celebrations contained veggie food as well, including hasty pudding.

You don’t have to be man or woman or the year to celebrate with the traditional New England dish.

Try the recipe for hasty pudding yourself, which can also be veganized.

“I am 51, but look younger. My ­doctor thinks it is my veganism – I’ve been vegan since I was 13. I try not to have fried food and don’t drink ­alcohol or smoke. I also do yoga and t’ai chi. It’s important to learn how to be relaxed; if you are tense and miserable, it stamps itself on your face.”

 Time Stands Still Broadway Opening Night - Arrivals & Curtain Call

Alicia Silverstone just embarked on a brand new project–a role in the Donald Margulies play Time Stands Still.

Alicia chatted with the NY Mag at one of her favorite veggie restaurants, Pure Food & Wine about her new role.

Alicia may be snacking on edamame and acai juice between Acts now, but it wasn’t always that way.

“I was a total meat-eater, are you kidding me? I was 21, and when the word health came up, it meant, ‘Oh, you’re telling me to lose weight.’ I had quite a bit of pressure about my weight and stuff. So I said, ‘Fuck you. I’m going to eat whatever I want. I don’t care.’ I just totally rebelled—I was anti-health. My love for animals is what saved me.”

After the NY Mag suggested Alicia’s character Mandy in Time Stands Still is somewhat like her Clueless character Cher-superficial and bubbly-Alicia insisted that was where the similarities ended.

“Cher was a teenage girl and Mandy is a professional person who runs entire events. She meets her lover at a launch party for a book on Darfur. Just like everybody, she’s had pain, but she’s not going to war.”

JD Salinger Was Mostly Vegetarian

JD Salinger

JD Salinger

JD Salinger, famed author of The Catcher In The Rye, passed just weeks after his 91st birthday.

Publisher Roger Lathbury met with Salinger in the late 80s, asking if he could publish Hapworth 16, 1924.

The two had lunch together and The Washington Post says Salinger confessed to being “largely vegetarian.”

When Salinger recommended a soup with Parmesan, Lathbury said he was vegetarian.

Salinger answered, “I am largely a vegetarian,” and Lathbury told the Washington Post, “I didn’t know what that meant — sort of like saying, ‘I am a little bit pregnant.”

Was Salinger really a flexitarian?

Or trying to impress the publisher?

Kelly Osbourne Smells Like Vegetables

2nd Annual Golden Globes Party Saluting Young Hollywood - Arrivals

Kelly Osbourne is smelling like vegetables!

During a recent Tweet, she shared this lovely fact that may have been TMI:

“i smell like a vegetarian I am sweating the smell of vegetables! it keeps making me laugh!”

Is Kelly smelling great because she’s following the rules of the Meat-Free Monday camapaign she showed up to support months ago?

If you’re a veg, you already know you smell better than the carnivores, but here’s a little scientific evidence to back up your claim.

When researchers put several men on meat and non-meat diets for 2 weeks, the odors of the non-meat eaters were judged to be more attractive, more pleasant and less intense.

Guys headed for the clubs tonight might want to chow down on some celery.

It might just be your lucky vegetable.
