Dean Spanley Screening

Sam Neill has been starring in television advertisements for Australia’s Meat and Livestock industry. The ads promote red meat as a vital contributor to brain health and feature such taglines as “Meat – you’d be silly not to eat it”.

Jason Baker, director of PETA Asia-Pacific, has sent Neill a letter suggesting alternative mottos, such as “Meat: It’s What’s Rotting in Your Colon”.

“Seeing you pimp for an industry that is linked to the main killers of human beings as well as of animals is, well, sad,” Baker wrote.

Baker goes on to mention that people with higher IQs are more likely to go vegetarian.

Baker plays upon Neill being famous for his role in the 1993 science fiction thriller Jurassic Park.

“Won’t you agree that it’s time to evolve, choose a plant-based diet and leave Jurassic tastes in the dust (since the meat habit will cause the extinction of us all)?”

Here’s an example of the ads showing that feature Neill.

Rupert Everett Quit Vegetarianism: Gave Weak Reason For Doing So

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, July 14th, 2009 in Actors, Not So Vegetarian.

11th Annual Broadway Barks

Rupert Everett was recently on the Rachael Ray show where he announced he’s no longer vegetarian.

And he’s got such as WEAK excuse.

Last time Rupert was on Rachael Ray, Rachael made him a vegetable curry because she knew he was a vegetarian.

When Rachael mentioned she heard he was no longer vegetarian, Rupert rambled about loving cows, but enjoying meat, and feeling weak while being vegetarian.

Now, isn’t that just pathetic.

Rachael Ray threw in her ridiculous piece of information that her grandfather said eating meat was good for the blood.

Please stick to cooking, Rachael.

Sure, meat contains iron, which red blood cells need to function, but that mineral can be found in numerous plant sources like spinach, soybeans, seeds, tofu, beans, quinoa, and the list goes on.

Rupert’s British brother, Paul McCartney, might have a few suggestions for countering that “weak” feeling, especially since he’s got over another whole decade of years on him and is still going strong.

Hugh Jackman Can Redeem Chicken Sins At Detox Resort

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, July 13th, 2009 in Actors, Business.

Hugh Jackman Presents Joel Greys New Book 1.3 - Images From My Phone

In Austria, the Viva Mayr clinic exists, where celebrities flock to detox and lose weight.

The intensive seven day programs costs anywhere from $2,500 to $5,000 a week and replace sugar, caffeine, and alcohol with gourmet vegetarian meals and various pampering and luxury offers.

A similar program exists in Australia called Gwinganna.

Stars like Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, and Hugh Jackman have taken part in these “detox” sessions.

Oh, yes. Hugh Jackman.

Is this where the X Men star goes to purify himself from the chicken farm he consumes when he’s interested in getting buffed for a film?

If you recall, Hugh told reporters he consumed a lot of chicken to put on extra muscle for his Wolverine role.

“Let me tell you, I’m not vegan. I ate so many chickens to make this body. If there is a place in hell for people who eat chickens, I have booked a suite bigger than anybody.”

Of course, Hugh could have checked out Vega, completely plant based vegan protein bars, protein powders, and other supplements.

There are chickens in hell, waiting for him to arrive, so they can force feed him a liquid diet of Smoothie Infusion.

Ed Begley Jr. Gets His Own Treehugger.com Forum

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, July 9th, 2009 in Actors, Environment-Eco-Green.

Premiere Of Sony Pictures Classics Whatever Works - Arrivals

The granddaddy of all green, known for his home solar panels and getting around with his bum on a bicycle now has his own forum on the green and environmental site, treehugger.com.

This is a place where you can leave questions that Ed Begley Jr. himself will personally answer.

The forum is structured around this vegan’s upcoming book, Ed Begley Jr.’s Guide To Sustainable Living, which will be available September 8.

From treehugger.com:

“In the forum you can learn about Conservation, Production, and Management of resources in your life. You can ask Ed questions, view exclusive video and photos, learn about products Ed officially endorses or just personally loves.”

“Now Ed’s a busy guy, so it may take a little bit to get an answer to your questions, but we have a lot of helpful members and moderators, not to mention other forums where you might find interesting discussions.”

People are already asking questions about green investment clubs, air conditioning versus evaporative coolers, composting, and clean water issues.

Our favorite question so far is this one:

“Why don’t you ever talk about being a vegan? I have to assume you are, since you obviously are one of the leaders (or at least the biggest star) of the green movement. Do you feel there is too much of a stigma around it? Why not at least say “I try to be a vegetarian sometimes.” Bare in mind I am saying this as a fan of yours since the days of you as DJ’s principle on Roseanne. Perhaps you have talked about in print, but I am specifically referring to your reality show on Planet Green.”

Hey, we know Ed talks about his vegetarianism. But agree he should do it more often.

Corey Feldman, Wife Susie Have Veggie Since Conception Child

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, July 3rd, 2009 in Actors, Children, Couples.

Corey Feldman and wife Susie Sprague leaving Dantanas

Heroes’ star Milo Ventimiglia made a joke about being vegetarian since in the womb because his mother was vegetarian while carrying him and he’s always been veg.

But if Corey Feldman and wife Susie’s kid decides to work in Hollywood, he might give Milo a run for his money as being a vegetarian star since in utero.

Four year old Zen is vegetarian and has lived without meat “from conception,” as Corey calls it.

The actor, who says he spends 80% of his time doing charity work, likes to boast about how he convinced wife Susie to go veg.

If you’re in the Santa Monica, California area, you might spy a whole host of veg celebs eating there, including Tobey Maguire, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Heather Mills.

Miranda had the job of carrying the doggie bag home while Orlando seemed to be giving her a pat on the bum.

We’re sure it was Orlando’s way of praising Miranda for picking such a great restaurant, hahaha.

Miranda showed her vegan friendly love before when she modeled for and launched the Victoria’s Secret PINK collection, a vegan and free of animal testing body care line from the company
