“Suck” Vampire Flick Premiers At Toronto Film Festival

Suck

Suck recently premiered at the Toronto Film Festival.

It’s a vampire horror comedy featuring stars like Moby, Alice Cooper, and Iggy Pop.

A rock band wishes to become famous and gets a chance to do so after meeting a vampire-and gets more than a record deal in the package.

“It’s sort of like an exaggerated rock & roll world,” says director and writer Rob Stefaniuk. “I’ve seen a lot of rock & roll movies, but what I wanted to do differently is make it less of a cinéma vé?rité — this is what it feels like to be in a real band, and yet I didn’t want to do a parody of a bunch of guys that go ‘Yeah dude’ and a big roadie. I wanted it to feel real, so you’re not in a band with a bunch of druggie people; you’re in a band with a bunch of vampires.”

The movie, as expected, features lots of blood and guts, and latex rubber “meat” was created to throw at vegan Moby, who plays “Beef Ballow,” lead singer for the band Secretaries of Steak.

Great idea these guys used fake meat-unlike that horrible meat tree from True Blood, so Moby wouldn’t hurl blood from disgust.

Bob Harper Pitches Biggest Loser Protein Powder

2005 Summer NBC Television Critics Press Tour - Day 13

The Biggest Loser has inspired a host of products created after the hit reality TV show, including a cookbook, fitness DVDs, and protein powder.

Last episode coaches Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels did some shameless self promotion, promoting the Protein Powder and Food Journal, respectively.

As we told you before, Bob Harper became a big loser of cholesterol points when he went vegetarian and he tries to promote plant based diets on the show.

The protein powder is whey based, so that nixes it as an option for you vegan bodybuilders.

However, Sun Warrior Raw Vegan Protein Powder might be what Bob consumes should he decide to cut dairy and eggs from his diet.

The product description from veganessentials.com:

“At 85% pure protein, it is the first raw complete vegan, hypoallergenic superfood protein on the market. Not only does it taste superb, it blends exceptionally well and is very easy to digest. It digests so well that it has a 98% correlation rate to mother’s milk and a 98.2% digestion efficiency rating, making it one of the highest digestibility and efficiency ratings of any other protein source.”

Sun Warrior Protein Powder is available in chocolate and vanilla flavor.

Drink Milk For A Change Launch Event With Jordin Sparks

Jordin Sparks, who has said eventually she’d like to become vegetarian, is starring in a series of ads that will tick the vegans off.

Drink Milk For A Change features Jordin sporting a dairy mustache and holding a glass of cow juice.

The campaign was launched in Los Angeles yesterday and encourages people to upload photos of themselves wearing milk mustaches at bodybymilk.com.

For each upload, one dollar will be donated to the VH1 Save the Music Foundation, which puts money into funds to restore music programs at schools.

Not every veg is keen on dairy, even if they’re not vegan.

We suggest some passive protesting-upload your soy or almond milk mustache to help out the schools.

The dairy industry will never know the difference!

The Cinema Society & Hugo Boss Screening of Inglourious Basterds - Arrivals

These days Canadian rock star Bryan Adams is a vegan who juices regularly and is into raw foods.

But years ago, when he lived in Vancouver, he would frequent a pizza place called Lombardo’s Pizzeria & Ristorante, where he would order what he called “the best pizza in the world.”

“Bryan Adams lives in London now, but he used to come all the time,” Patti Lombardo says. “He used to come Tuesday or Wednesday evening at about 10 p.m., when there were no crowds to bother him. He’s a vegetarian, so he would get a mushroom pizza. He’d sit there and go, ‘You know what? This is the best pizza in the world.’ ”

Lombardo’s is known for its wood-oven-fired pizza and features several pizzas, calzones, and pasta dishes that are vegetarian on the menu.

“We just released a shoe from Mike Dirnt of Green Day, we having stuff coming up from Davey Havok of AFI, Frankie from My Chemical Romance, a special shoe from Muse and a lot of rad stuff,” DeLonge said. “It has taken a few years for people to realize Macbeth is a really good shoe company, and we are trying to work with the coolest bands possible. The shoes are awesome, and I think people are finally catching on, and it is doing better than it has ever done. We are securing a place in shoe history.”

Macbeth’s first shoe, The Eliot, was launched in 2002.

The rest was history.
