Vegetarian Star

Russell Brand‘s a pro at being vegetarian and constantly shows up on PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian Alive contest lists.

So when the foul mouthed meatless bad boy was seen wearing what appeared to be snakeskin boots at the Vanity Fair Oscars bash, he had to do some serious PR moves, quick.

“They’re fake. Specially made, don’t panic.”

The Veg Star never doubted Brand for a minute!

“I haven’t been aware of what everybody’s been saying. Somebody showed me a story that made it sound like I’m too thin. I’ve just been living life and trying to live it to the fullest. That’s all I’m trying to do — live happy and healthy. I gained a lot of weight to play Idi Amin and afterwards I got a little more serious about diet and exercise. Also, I don’t think being a vegetarian hurts.”

—-Forest Whitaker, in Parade magazine, on his highly publicized weight loss.

Jeff Garlin has lost weight by cutting almost every animal from his diet but fish.

The Curb Your Enthusiasm pescatarian has written a book, My Footprint: Carrying The Weight Of The World, that details his journey to lose both pounds on his body and impact on the environment.

Suffering a stroke in 2000, Garlin admitted his diet in the past couldn’t have enabled him to go from 320 to 260 pounds.

“I’m not fat from eating too many apples. It’s very serious, man. I could’ve died.”

Not only is Garlin enjoying better health, but he’s also gotten in good with the cool green kids.

He’s friends with Ed Begley Jr. and Curb Your Enthusiasm creator Larry David, both who are into the environmental scene.

Corey Haim has passed away at the age of 38.

According to the New York Times, he was pronounced dead at 2:15 AM Wednesday after collapsing at his mother’s Los Angeles apartment of an apparent drug overdose.

A famous teen idol, Haim was trying to make a comeback and expressed interest in several movies with producer Tim Vogel, including one romantic comedy titled The Vegetarian Hunter.

“He was interested in playing the lead role,” Vogel said.

Vh1 also says that Vogel added:

“We had sent him a script, and he loved it. He wanted to shoot that. We were going to do it in upstate New York. Basically, it’s about a hunter who goes to New York, falls head-over-heels for a girl he meets who is vegetarian, he becomes vegetarian, and she does good things to animals that backfire. It’s a romantic comedy.”

Ryan Gosling has voiced his concerns over what PETA says are outdated slaughter practices fast food giant McDonald’s is practicing.

In a letter to McDonald’s CEO Jim Skinner, Gosling pointed out that although there are no laws governing chicken slaughter in the U.S., Europe has already adopted a more humane way of slaughter.

“Dear Mr. Skinner, I was shocked to learn from my friends at PETA that McDonald’s, a company that claims to be an industry leader in animal welfare, still allows its suppliers to use an outdated chicken slaughter method that results in broken wings and legs and causes birds to be scalded to death in defeathering tanks.”

Gosling wrote a similar letter to officials at KFC Canada in 2008 and the company that coordinates purchases for those KFCs is currently in the process of phasing in all their chickens from suppliers that use this method.

No chickens killed is the best, but more humane slaughter methods are a step in the right direction.

Wanna write a letter yourself?

Grab and pen, pencil or keyboard and make your voice heard to Mr. Skinner at Jim Skinner, CEO, McDonald’s Corporation, 2111 McDonald’s Dr., Oak Brook, IL 60523.

Joshua Gomez may not have all the classified government information his character’s co-worker Chuck (Zachary Levi) has on the NBC television series Chuck, but he does have some inside info on making a great tasting meat-free meal.

Gomez says in the March 2010 issue of Vegetarian Times he is a mostly “veggie-burger-in-the-microwave kind of guy”, but he’s also known to whip up a curry every now and then.

If only everyone could download the secret to setting the timer so the veggie burger comes out perfect.

Kevin Federline was seen picking up fresh vegetables like cauliflower and tomatoes during a trip to the grocery store.

He chose a much better option than the Cheetos fetish the mother of his children, Britney Spears, claimed to have sworn off.

Is this the good stuff K-Fed picked up in order to help him lose weight on Celebrity Fit Club?
