Tiffani Teams Up w/WSPA To Educate Consumers on Choosing Humane Foods

Posted April 16, 2010

Actress Tiffani Thiessen, star of the TV series "White Collar," has taped a 30-second public service announcement (PSA) for WSPA to educate the public about reading labels on meat, poultry, eggs and dairy products to see which ones signify that animals were raised humanely. The PSA is running on both cable and network television stations across the U.S. market.

Thiessen said, "I am pleased to be a part of the Eat Humane campaign for the WSPA. The organization's key philosophy about food is something I believe in personally. It's important that people make educated choices when buying food, which can be confusing and misleading with the food labeling system. It is hard to know what you are really purchasing and that is why I filmed this PSA - I wanted to help WSPA inform people about what the labels really mean."

She further explained, "If you choose foods labeled ‘American Humane Certified,' ‘Animal Welfare Approved' or ‘Certified Humane,' you know that the food you are eating did not involve animal abuse or come from factory farms known to be bad for the environment."

Factory farms use intensive "production line" methods to maximize the amount of meat produced, while minimizing costs. They keep animals together in unnaturally large numbers, creating a large amount of waste that creates an environmental problem. In fact, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations reports that livestock production accounts for 18 percent of greenhouse gas emissions - that is more than all global transport, combined.

Therefore, by making minor changes and choosing humane foods, you can make a difference for animals and the planet. (WSPA)

Tiffani Is Excited About Childbirth

Posted April 14, 2010

Pregnancy Magazine May 2010

Mom-to-be Tiffani Thiessen shows off her beautiful bump on the cover of the May 2010 issue of Pregnancy. The 35-year-old White Collar star, who is expecting her first child with her husband Brady Smith next month, chats to the magazine about pregnancy cravings and birth plans.

On her surprising cravings: "I've been craving a lot of red meat. I haven't eaten red meat in 20 years, but I definitely have been eating it during this pregnancy."

On her childbirth plan: "I'm going to give a Girl Scout effort to hypno-birthing. I'm really excited about it."

On her hopes for her baby: "Long and lean. I dream about it because my husband is 6' 4". I also hope the baby has his artist side."

On her marriage: "I'm a wing-it kinda girl and not one to stress. My husband is a little more than a worrier."

Tiffani isn't the only celeb mom to give hypno-birthing a try - Cougar Town star Busy Philipps went the same route when she delivered her daughter Birdie in 2008. (Celebrity Baby Scoop)

With only weeks left before her May due date, Tiffani Thiessen celebrated with a baby shower on Sunday afternoon at her and husband Brady Smith's home outside Los Angeles.

The White Collar star welcomed about 65 guests to the outdoor party, hosted by former 90210 costar Jason Priestley's wife Naomi.

Guests enjoyed a cake from Hansen's Cakes and a gift bag that included goodies from baby company BabyBjörn.

Apart from stocking up on presents -- among her gifts was The Hot Mom to Be Handbook by Jessica Denay -- Thiessen has also finalized plans for the birth.

"I'm going to give a Girl Scout effort to hypnobirthing," the actress, 36, tells Pregnancy magazine about the method that uses hypnosis to promote natural childbirth.

"I'm really excited about it. That's my plan, but my husband and I are both very, very open to however the child is supposed to come out. Knock on wood it all goes well. I'm not one to judge any woman on how they choose to give birth. It's individual and I think everyone's different." (People)

Tim Dekay Talks Kelly Kapowki

Posted March 9 2010

Your wife on the show is Tiffani-Amber Thiessen, who will forever be Kelly Kapowski to us. Were you a 'Saved By the Bell' watcher?

I never did! I certainly knew who she was. I never watched 'Saved By the Bell' or 'Melrose Place,' but whenever I saw her I thought, 'Oooh, she's cute!' I had been cast originally prior to her on 'Collar,' so they were bringing in a number of women to do a chemistry read. She walked into the room, said hello and gave me a hug and I thought: 'Oh, here's my pretend wife.' She's smart, she read well ... it doesn't suck.

With 'Tell Me' or even 'Collar,' how do you go about explaining to your wife all of these romps with gorgeous actresses?

With Tiffani it's very easy because she and my wife get along well. I learned early on to tell my wife exactly what she's going to see, because you don't want to surprise your wife when she comes to see a show or play and in a scene there's something rather provocative. Then she says, 'Oh, when did you shoot that? I didn't know that was going to happen.' That's not what you want. (PopEater.com)

Tiffani Talks Skinny Maternity Jeans and Pregnancy Cravings

Posted March 9 2010

Dressing isn't easy when you're pregnant. And when you're an actress who's expected to look a certain way, it goes from difficult to don't-even-wanna.

"It's more challenging to talk myself into getting dressed up, because most of the time, I don't want to. And If I don't have to dress up, I'm in stretchy pants and leggings --very comfortable clothes," Tiffani Thiessen tells StyleList.

But adds that, "A Pea in the Pod and Isabella Oliver have beautiful pregnancy clothes."

The "White Collar" actress is expecting her first child with husband Brady Smith in May. The couple knows whether it's a boy or a girl, but is not sharing the news.

"A Pea in the Pod has been a godsend," she says. "Luckily, they make normal clothes and tailor them for pregnancy, which is awesome. I love that I get to still wear my skinny jeans that have a belly on them. I've pretty much stayed true to my own style."

"I just got a few pieces of the Heidi Klum collection. I'm very excited to wear them," she reveals.

While she can still stick to her clothing routine, like any pregnant woman, Thiessen has cravings -- though hers are throwing her for a loop.

"I used to be a vegetarian and I'm eating red meat now. It's weird," she says. "I crave a lot of fruit and a lot of dairy, which I never used to drink. I'm definitely listening to my body, but it's been a big transition." (StyleList)

Veggie Tiffani Thiessen admits to meat cravings

Posted March 9 2010

American actress Tiffani Thiessen has revealed that pregnancy has had a significant impact on her diet.

The 36-year-old expectant mum is due to give birth to her first child with husband Brady Smith in May and has noticed big changes in her eating habits.

In a recent interview with People, the Hollywood star said: "I was a vegetarian for many, many, many years and all of a sudden I started to crave red meat.

"Crazy enough I had a steak before I left tonight and I would never have eaten one before. One day I just woke up and craved meat. It's weird."

The former Saved By the Bell star and her hubby decided to find out the sex of their baby but remain tight-lipped about whether they'll be buying blue or pink for the new arrival. The couple tied the knot in July 2005.

Tiffani announced the pregnancy in November last year. (Kiddicare)

Tiffani: "I always wanted to be a Mom!"

Posted March 1 2010

With the arrival of their first child just a few months away, Tiffani Thiessen and her hubby, actor Brady Smith, can't wait to welcome the addition to their family.

"It will be a new adventure! I always wanted to be a mom, and my husband is really excited. I can't wait to see how he's going to be as a dad," the White Collar actress told In Touch at the USA Network and Vanity Fair Character Approved 2010 event in New York on February 25.

Though Tiffani won't reveal the little one's gender, one thing is for sure -- he or she won't be the next big child star. "Oh God, I hope not!" the starlet, who started playing Kelly on the '90's hit show Saved by the Bell as a young teen, groaned when asked if her baby would join the business. A glowing Tiffani is due in May. (In Touch Weekly)

Pregnancy Makes Tiffani Crave Red Meat

Posted February 27 2010

With only three months left until her first child is due, Tiffani Thiessen is "feeling great" -- and feeling differently about her diet.

"I was a vegetarian for many, many, many years and all of a sudden I started to crave red meat," Thiessen tells PEOPLE at Thursday's USA network and Vanity Fair bash in New York. "Crazy enough, I had a steak before I left tonight and I would never have eaten one before. One day I just woke up and craved meat."

In addition to steaks, the White Collar star, 36, is also enjoying foot rubs from her husband, Brady Smith.

"He rubs my feet, my shoulders and he always gets anything for me even if I'm all hormonal," she says. "I have the best husband and he's a sweetheart."

As for whether the two will be decorating the nursery pink or blue, that's top secret -- at least publicly. "I couldn't wait to find out," Thiessen, who is keeping the baby's sex private, says. "Are you kidding? My husband I were way too excited to wait. We needed to know right away."

Though she will be a first-time mom, the actress's White Collar costar Matt Bomer says Thiessen's maternal instincts are already in full gear on set. "She's totally the den mother of the show," says Bomer. "She keeps us guys all in check and she makes sure that we are gentlemen. She's so organized and so loving and generous -- that can only make her an absolutely amazing mom."

Meanwhile, Thiessen's White Collar husband Tim DeKay, a father of two, has already given the expectant mom some parenting wisdom of his own. "I told her that being a parent is like the Peace Corps. It's the toughest job that you will ever love," says Dekay.

As for experiencing her changing body, Thiessen is taking advantages of her new curves. "The best part is not having to suck in your stomach anymore when wearing a tight dress. I love it!" (People)

Tiffani Thiessen Debuts Baby Bump (again!)

Posted February 27 2010

White Collar star Tiffani Thiessen, 36, showed off her baby bump for the first time on the red carpet Thursday night.

"I'd much rather be home at in my slippers, but you know, it's fun to get dressed up every now and then too," the mom-to-be -- who donned a chic, fitted black dress -- joked to UsMagazine.com at the USA Network and Vanity Fair fete in NYC.

Of being pregnant, which she announced last November, Thiessen told Us, "I think it's just a new adventure. I always wanted to be a mom. My husband's really excited, and so am I!" (She wed actor-artist Brady Smith in 2005.)

Thiessen says she's staying in shape by "doing a lot of yoga, weight training" and hiking a few miles three times a week.

The one thing she hasn't been so good about: sticking to her no-meat diet.

"Sadly I was a vegetarian for so many years, and I've been craving meat. I hate it, but I need it!" she admitted to Us. "I feel badly because I'm such a huge supporter of not doing that, but I guess this little one is wanting a lot of red meat so...."

Besides starring in her USA show, Thiessen is hard at work on another project: "I am developing a baby furniture company," she told Us.

She's more tight-lipped about the sex of the baby ("We're not telling!") and its name ("We have some in mind... but we're not sharing!").

One thing's for sure: When asked by Us if she'd like the baby to go into acting, Thiessen said, "Oh God, I hope not!" (US Magazine)

White Collar Heads to UK

Tiffani Mention in Tim DeKay Article

Posted February 10 2010

IESB: Can you talk about working with Tiffani Thiessen? Has that relationship between fun to develop?

Tim: It's been wonderful to develop. It's great to play an FBI agent as somebody on the side of the law, where the audience goes home with that person. That doesn't always happen. It's nice to be able to live out the side of Peter that is an FBI agent, and then come through the door and be a husband. So, it's a joy to work with Tiffani. She's very smart and we can trust each other. I was cast in the role and then they brought in women to do a chemistry read, to see who I would click with, and it was the same story as it was with Matt. When Tiffani walked in the room, we started reading and I knew, right then and there, this could be my wife, in the world of Peter Burke. (IESB.net)
