Blake Lively “You Know You Want It” Stella McCartney Boots

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, January 20th, 2010 in Actresses, Fashion.

'You Know You Want It' by Eric Daman Book Party!

Blake Lively wore a pair of thigh high faux leather Stella McCartney boots to the launch party of the book, You Know You Want It: Style Inspiration Confidence by Eric Daman.

Damon is the costume designer for Gossip Girl.

These boots look so snug and comfy, they must feel like second skin.

It’s great that Lively chose to wear Stella’s cruelty-free fashion, instead of taking another animal’s skin.

This completely makes up for Blair and Serena making fun of seitan months ago.

Wonder if Daman is just as ethical on the set of Gossip Girl.

“Brothers & Sisters” Rachel Griffith Negotiates Vegetarian

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, January 19th, 2010 in Film & TV, Food & Drink.

LA Philharmonic Opening Night Gala

A recent episode of Brothers & Sisters titled “Run Baby Run,” had Rachel Griffith‘s character, Sarah Walker, discussing with a coffee date how she talked her daughter into switching back from vegan to vegetarian.

“She declared herself a vegan,” Sarah said.

“I negotiated her back up to a vegetarian. It’s not that I don’t respect her moral choice, I just don’t know what to feed her.”

Hmm…Seems strange that an MBA holding woman, co-president of a food company and owner of Greenatopia, a website about eco-friendly living can’t figure out what to feed her vegan daughter.

Let’s not forget that brief stint she had as CFO at a green foods startup company.

It’s high time Sarah Walker put as much energy investing in vegan cookbooks as she does in the business world.

And can Ojai Foods get more ready made vegan products?

Alicia Silverstone Loves Earth Balance Vegan Butter

Alicia Silverstone The Kind Diet Book Launch Party

For those that choose the vegan path or with intolerance/sensitivity to dairy products, Alicia Silverstone recommends a cow-free butter on her Kind Life website to substitute on baked potatoes, cookies and more.

“Whenever I find a recipe that calls for a butter substitute, I always use Earth Balance! I’ve experimented with a lot of brands, and this one is my hands-down favorite! You can get it in tubs or sticks… just like real butter. It’s so versatile and you can get it at most supermarkets and health food stores.”

The guys (and gals) at Earth Balance really know their butters.

Besides tubs, Earth Balance vegan butters come in sticks as well and feature several blended varieties such as those with or without soy and olive oil.

Peanut and almond butters are also available.

Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell arrive at the 67th annual Golden Globe Awards

The best things in life are free and educational.

That’s why Paul McCartney put a copy of his narrated PETA DVD, Glass Walls in each of the presenters and nominees bags at the Golden Globes, according to Contact Music.

The video provides an inside look of the meat industry.

“I’ve often said, ‘If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian,” McCartney said.

“Animals raised on modern factory farms and killed in slaughterhouses endure almost unimaginable suffering. I hope that once you see the routine cruelty involved in raising, transporting, and killing animals for food, you’ll join the millions of people who have decided to leave meat off their plates – for good.”

Could McCartney convert some Golden Globe attendees?

Gordon Ramsay Says No Nut Roast–“Gordon’s Great Escape”

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, January 19th, 2010 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Not So Vegetarian.

reality television

As previously reported, Gordon Ramsay took a tour of India last year to film his reality TV show, Gordon’s Great Escape.

Gordon’s Great Escape featured much vegetarian cooking and given the Hell’s Kitchen chef’s history of negative comments about the food, some wondered how Ramsay would react in the land of veggies and curry.

Apparently, some of the experiences weren’t stimulating enough.

“Lentils, pumpkins, I can’t get excited with seeds,” he said, according to the BBC Radio 1. “I don’t want to sit down and eat a nut roast. I need meat, fish and chicken.”

Sigh…Maybe the next veg escape will be more titillating.

Art of Elysium Gala

“ok, so sarah palin is releasing a book. and it’s filled with some insightful, thoughtful gems, like: ‘here’s my philosophy on being a carnivore: If God had not intended for us to eat animals, how come He made them out of meat?”

“the problem, of course, being that other things are also made out of meat. like, well, people. and doggies and kitties. and cute little human babies. so if we follow your logic, mrs palin, you are actually suggesting that god intended for us to eat humans and dogs and cats and human babies, as these things are all technically made out of meat. i’m not even being swiftian, i’m just exposing sarah palin’s thoughts to some simple logic. which might be problematic, as she is also the person who once talked about looking out her window and seeing vladimir putin staring back (although he’s technically 8,000 miles away, unless he’s recently moved to kamchatka).”

—Moby, including his thoughts on Sarah Palin‘s book, Going Rogue on his blog.

This insight is even more cynically humorous than his theories on vegan zombies.
