For Real? Alicia Silverstone, PETA Ask Putin To Let Pussy Riot Member Eat Vegan

When I first brought up this story, one of the other writers here said: “I kind of love Alicia Silverstone. She just does her, you know?” That’s for sure. And right now, ‘doing her’ means writing a letter urging Russian President Vladimir Putin to allow Russian punk/feminist band Pussy Riot to be served vegan meals in jail. Oh, sweetie … More »

PETA: Still Selling Veganism With Sex, Now With Alicia Silverstone

PETA: Still Selling Veganism With Sex, Now With Alicia Silverstone

We all know sex sells, and that’s the creative approach that PETA is taking, once again, with its annual Sexiest Vegetarian Celebrity contest, now open for voting. Their advertisement, below, features Alicia Silverstone, swimming naked (either before or after the baby she delivered just a few weeks ago) and talking about how vegetarianism is the best change she’s ever made in her life. I guess the whole point of this thing is to make more of us associate sexiness with a diet free from animal products, but something about their incessant use of sex is starting to creep me out.

Gallery: 10 Hollywood Celebrities Helping to Save the Planet

Whether they’re putting their star power or their money (or both) into projects to protect and save the earth, or just help make it a better place for all of us to live, Hollywood celebrities have a long history of supporting environmental programs and projects. (And the good PR doesn’t hurt their careers, either.) And while it’s all too easy for spoiled celebs to end up in rehab or make the news for less-than-noble antics (Mel and Charlie, this means you), the ten who made our gallery are doing the opposite — setting a good example for others by living environmentally-conscious lives, and encouraging the rest of us to do the same. Here’s who and how: More »

Holiday Baking: Top Celebrity Cookie Recipes

Holiday Baking: Top Celebrity Cookie Recipes

Why do cookie recipes that come from celebrities taste better? Everything tastes better when it’s famous, right? While Mariah Carey’s not exactly a top chef, we figure that if a starlet’s going to break routine and indulge in something as sugary and fattening as cookies, the recipe has to be pretty damn good. (After all, people like Michelle Obama, Alicia Silverstone, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Eva Longoria Parker don’t get to look that way because they pig out on mediocre baked goods.) More »

Alicia Silverstone Hasn’t Seen a Doctor in 13 Years — Have You?

Alicia Silverstone Hasn't Seen a Doctor in 13 Years — Have You?

Alicia Silverstone told Us this week that she occasionally cheats on her vegan diet. No big deal. She’s human, and cheese is really good. We get that. What we don’t get is Silverstone’s claim that her diet keeps her so healthy that she hasn’t been to the doctor in 13 years. If that’s true, 13 years strikes us as a really long time to go without even a check up.
