Jennifer Lopez Has Gone Vegan
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Features,
Jennifer Lopez has decided to go vegan.
The 44-year-old singer, who was a vegetarian for a brief period some years ago, has completely changed her diet by removing all animal products in an effort to stay in shape but admits she's missing butter.
"Being vegan, it's basically no dairy, no meat, everything is plant based and from the ground. Butter is the one thing I miss!" she said in a recent interview.
The "I Luh Ya Papi" hitmaker claims she would encourage others to go vegan and cut out meat, eggs, dairy products and other animal-derived ingredients all together, because it makes her feel good: "You do feel better. I do recommend the vegan diet because you wake up and feel great!"
Meanwhile, the singer, who has six-year-old twins Max and Emme with her ex-husband Marc Anthony, loves being an adult and having a family but admits she still sometimes feels as though she's a young singer.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Television, Celebrity Babies, Features,
Jenna Dewan-Tatum is raising her daughter to be a vegetarian.
The vegan Witches of East End star, who has a seven-month-old baby girl Everly with husband Channing Tatum, has no plans to introduce the tot to meat anytime soon but will let Everly make her own diet decisions when she is older.
"She eats fruits and veggies and nothing else. I just want her to be healthy, choose healthy food habits. We'll let her decide," the 33-year-old actress told People.com.
The brunette beauty admits that she and Channing have very different approaches to food because he is a serious "meat eater." She said, "We are complete polar opposites that way. Sometimes I can drag him to my vegetarian vegan restaurants - he politely eats, then promptly goes home and eats what he really wants! Opposites attract!"

Beyonce Knowles treated Jay Z to a vegan feast for his 44th birthday on Wednesday.
The "Love On Top" hitmaker took her rapper husband, who has vowed to stick to a plant-based diet until Christmas Day, to the popular organic restaurant, Cafe Gratitude, in Los Angeles. The couple, who left their 23-month-old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, at home for the occasion, tucked into a range of meatless dishes including marinated kale salad, Indian curried lentils and corn tacos with chipotle butternut squash, according to gossip website TMZ.com, before enjoying vegan chocolate truffles for dessert.
Oscar-winning actress Anne Hathaway and singer Ariana Grande were also dining in eatery at the time.
Their outing came just one day after Jay Z revealed that he and his wife were inspired by a close friend to give up animal food products until December 25. "Psychologists have said it takes 21 days to make or break a habit. On the 22nd day, you've found the way. On December 3, one day before my 44th birthday I will embark on a 22 Days challenge to go completely vegan, or as I prefer to call it, plant-based! This all began a few months back when a good friend and vegan challenged me to embrace a 'plant-based breakfast' everyday. It was surprisingly easier on me than I thought," the "Holy Grail" hitmaker wrote on his Life and Times Blog on Tuesday.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Dating,
Cory Monteith has lost 20lbs thanks to his girlfriend. The Glee actor dropped the weight he gained earlier this year thanks to some encouraging words of advice from his co-star and girlfriend Lea Michele.
"When he brought Lea home to meet his family they were making fun of him in front of her. She's tell him she loves him no matter what but it was bothering him and he did something about it. She's vegan and eats organic and she totally changed his eating habits. He's exercising too. He loves the way he looks now," a source told In Touch.
Cory recently cited cutting down on chocolate and more exercise as the key to his weight loss. "I'm doing CrossFit and I'm eating fewer Snickers bars," he explained.
Cory also has a positive effect on Lea, and friends say they've noticed she is happier since she's been with him. "Cory is definitely having a positive effect on Lea. She's much less miserable these days," a source said.
