Woody Harrelson Or Jesse Eisenberg: Who Would You

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, October 7th, 2009 in Actors, Film & TV, Polls/Surveys, Who Would You.

Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg run from the tainted burger eating mutated zombie humans in the blockbuster hit Zombieland.

Although both follow healthy vegetarian diets in real life, with Woody being a raw vegan, at least one character mistakenly thinks Twinkies are the key to everlasting health and stamina to fight off the zombies.

Between the two co-stars, who would you rather…

Woody Harrelson Comfort Foods Include Mango, Avocado

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, October 7th, 2009 in Actors, Food & Drink.

Woody Harrelson visits 'The Late Show with David Letterman' in NYC

Woody Harrelson doesn’t find pleasure in mac and cheese, warm cornbread, or any other traditional comfort food.

If the zombies invaded Hollywood much like they did in Zombieland, Woody would be headed for the produce section of the store, not the sweet aisle to find Twinkies like his Zombieland character Tallahassee.

“I’d be searching for a mango,” Woody told New York Times. “Or an avocado. It really is a tough call between the two.”

Avocado?

Maybe Woody should pay Jason Mraz a visit. He, Jason and Olivia Wilde could go crazy on the green fruit.

What’s your comfort food during hard or stressful times, zombies or no zombies peeking through your window?

Benicio del Toro Protests Bioculture Monkey Breeding Facility

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, October 5th, 2009 in Actors, Animal Issues.

37th AFI Life Achievement Award - Audience And Backstage

Puerto Rican actor Benicio del Toro is protesting Bioculture‘s plans to build a massive monkey breeding facility, where the company’s products will be sold to laboratories that use primates for testing.

According to peta.org, the plan is to capture the monkeys in Mauritius, hold them captive in Puerto Rico, and then sell them and their offspring to labs all over the world.

The Sin City actor wrote a letter to the governor of Puerto Rico, asking him to halt the construction plans for the facility.

“I am disappointed to learn from my friends at PETA that a company called Bioculture is proposing to build a large monkey facility in Guayama, where it plans to breed thousands of these intelligent animals and lock them in cages before sending them off to laboratories around the world to be used in painful, deadly experiments. Won’t you please use your influence as governor and stop this from happening on our beautiful island?”

It appears the mayor of Guayama has already encouraged its citizens to protest the captures.

“Even the mayor of Guayama, Glorimari Jaime, has expressed her concern: “If my people do civil disobedience against this [Bioculture] project, I will be there to support them.…I want you to know that I have never given a sign to endorse this project. Everything was done by the previous administration.” Please don’t allow Puerto Rico to be associated with a facility that profits from extreme animal abuse.”

Go Glorimari!

Woody Harrelson “Zombieland” Vegan Twinkie

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, October 4th, 2009 in Actors, Film & TV, Food & Drink.

Premiere of Sony Pictures' "Zombieland" - Arrivals

If you’ve seen Zombieland starring Woody Harrelson and Jesse Einsenberg, you know that Woody gets his energy to run from the zombies by snacking on his favorite food of Twinkies.

In real life, Woody’s a raw vegan and regular Twinkies won’t cut it.

Just like Kal Penn had veggie burgers waiting for him at White Castle during the Harold and Kumar film, the directors on the set had specially made vegan Twinkies ready for Woody.

“They were actually edible for a guy like me,” Woody said.

Zombieland Twinkies were made from cornmeal and other vegan ingredients. This leads Woody to believe companies really can make healthy junk food if they put their mind to it.

“There’s a possibility that (manufacturer) Hostess could do a healthy Twinkie. It’s a thought.”

While they’re at it, can we get some vegan Ho-Hos too?

61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards - Arrivals

Jeremy Piven either hasn’t learned a lesson or enjoys playing marine Russian Roulette.

Piven was spotted at Gibson’s Steakhouse in Chicago recently chowing down on a piece of whitefish, according to suntimes.com.

Seems he has forgotten about the mercury poisoning incident months ago that caused him to drop out of the Speed The Plow play production.

Earlier this summer, Piven claimed to be fish free for 10 months. Is it time to go back to rehab?

Whitefish is supposed to be considered lower in mercury than other varieties, but that’s only helping Jeremy, not the fish and other marine life.

Overfishing.org has suggestions for combating the problem of commercial and non-commercial fishing depleting the oceans such as limiting the number and type of fish captured.

We’ll go one step further and recommend Jeremy and other “fish eating vegetarians” to take the plunge into the veg ocean themselves-give up flipper completely!
