Vegetarian Star

Like many vegetarians who travel to a country different than their home, Shahid Kapoor is a little nervous about finding decent food in Bangkok.

Shahid was scheduled to leave today for Thailand to begin filming for a Parmeet Sethi film.

Shahid recalled the last time he was in the U.S. for 40 days, his assistant had to work extra hard to make sure chefs cooked everything to his preference, as he’s a vegetarian who has some vegan streaks in him, like not eating eggs.

Does Shahid’s right hand man know about Happycow.com, where he can find dozens of vegetarian eateries in Bangkok, or anywhere else in the world?

Wishing Shahid best of luck.

Hunger sure gets in the way of good acting.

Stephen Glover, aka Steve-O “Jackass” is featured in the latest edition of Campus Talk magazine.

It may as well been called the Stephen Glover Veggie Files, because Steve’s interview is all about his vegetarianism.

Now that’s what we call an education.

Here are a few excerpts:

On Eating Meat and the afterlife:
In 2008 I came across a YouTube video that basically scared me into believing I was going to go to Hell if I kept eating meat. After that I became a pescetarian and the only meat I ate was fish. I figured if Jesus was down with eating fish then I could too. I’ve since become completely vegan.

On Not So Animal Friendly television stunts:
I remember PETA having an issue with the first stunt I ever did for Jackass where I swallowed the Goldfish and then puked it back up. There were actually a few situations on Wildboys that compromised my morals but for the most part we made sure Wildboys was a very animal-friendly show.

TMI about that Cruelty Doesn’t Fly Video:
The commercial for the fur campaign was really a lot of fun. Not many people can say they’ve been stripped searched by Pamela Anderson. The crazy thing is when we were shooting I had a big poop stain on my underwear which was kind of embarrassing.

Oh, Steve. You could have spared that last bit of information.

We got an exclusive tip that Rob Schneider was spotted at vegan restaurant Angelica Kitchen in NYC recently.

Months ago, we learned Rob would love to do a commercial for Hormel vegetarian beans and weenies.

Angelica Kitchen serves vegan food that’s a little more fancy than beans and weenies like Miso Soup, the Tempeh Reuben Sandwich, and Marinated Tofu Sandwich.

If you absolutely can’t do without your beans, there’s also a 3 bean chili.

Now you know you might see Rob there as well.

Thanks to Will for the tip!

We’ve heard of what bands request when they’re backstage on tour and think we have a good idea of what Steve Martin snacks on between his banjo drumming performances.

Yeah, Steve Martin really plays the banjo.

From the Times Online:

“In fact, Martin has been playing the banjo for almost 50 years, and is accomplished enough to have won the approval of such banjo virtuosos as Scruggs (best known for the Beverly Hillbillies theme), Bela Fleck and Tony Trischka.”

“In his dressing room backstage at the Ryman, a visibly nervous Martin signs posters and nibbles at a vegetarian snack of sugar snaps and tofu. “Don’t tell anybody I have tofu,” he demands, deadpan, before explaining how he came to be performing at the home of country music.”

Steve’s CD, The Crow: New Songs For The Five String Banjo, was released earlier this year.

Actor Jeremy Piven is in the news alleging that soy milk might make him grow double D’s.

“I was the guy that dabbled in soya milk, but now I’ve found out soya milk has enough estrogen for me to grow breasts, I had to put the soya milk down.”

“It was a very confusing time.”

It might help to add that Piven isn’t exactly known for moderation, given the fact as a self described “fish eating vegetarian,” he ate so much seafood it gave him mercury poisoining.

There has been controversy surrounding the risk of soy products to males.

But often the problems are discovered in those that tend to consume large amounts of the protein.

In fact, in one documented case of gynecomastia (medical term for big man boobs) found the subject in question drank as much as 3 quarts of soy milk a day.

That’s 12 cups a day.

How on earth did he ever find time to look for a good bra?

Bottom line is, you can overdo a good thing.

And men, if you’re that afraid of developing your own vegan chichis, drink some rice or almond milk instead.

“I chose to be vegan initially as an energetic pursuit, as meat and dairy slowed me down, but have since become convinced that it is not only the most healthy way to live, but also the most compassionate and ecologically responsible way.”

—Woody Harrelson, a World Go Vegan Week supporter.

World Go Vegan Week is celebrating it’s 4th annual holiday this year from October 25-31. The week is meant to encourage others to engage in a sustainable healthy lifestyle and incorporate vegan principles into their living.

World Go Vegan Week suggests doing various things doing the week to promote veganism such as asking your local grocery store to offer samples of vegan food.
