Spock, Star Trek’s Vulcan Vegan, Questions His Flesh Eating Ways

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, May 22nd, 2009 in Actors, Pop Culture, Videos.

Trekkies unite! The 2009 Star Trek Movie is still in theatres, so put your Vulcan thinking caps on and find a good, logical reason to see the movie.

Vulcans aren’t always the coolheaded creatures they want to be, as Spock proved once when he savored the taste of animal flesh. But at least he questioned his ridiculous ways.

“Please pay no attention, I’m not myself. I’m behaving disgracefully. I have eaten animal flesh and I’ve enjoyed it. What is wrong with me?”

Admitting is the first step, Spock.

Owen Wilson Ticks Off Unlucky Vegan Duck By Cutting In Line

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, May 22nd, 2009 in Actors, Food & Drink.

Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian screening in Washington.

We are happy actor Owen Wilson was spotted shopping at One Lucky Duck, an organic, raw foods establishment with a restaurant, juice bar, and much more.

We’re unsure if Owen was grabbing grub or juice when he bypassed the takeout line to place his order, but apparently this made someone else waiting in line steaming broccoli mad.

Hey, movie stars need their raw fix more, okay. It’s a stressful world out there. Don’t prove Margaret Cho right about angry vegans, now.

Craig Ferguson Advice To Ewan McGregor: Get Therapy, Vegan Diet

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, May 21st, 2009 in Actors, TV Hosts, Videos.

MOTHERHOOD: A Benefit for MAaternal Fetal Care International (MFCI)Ewan McGregor was recently on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.

Craig asked Ewan what he was doing to cope with living in LA. The Angels and Demons star replied, “Yoga and therapy.”

Craig started rambling off ways to be healthy and said, “Yoga, moisturize, therapy, and a vegan diet and you’ll live forever.”

Unless things have changed, we know Craig’s not vegan or even vegetarian yet and he might still have fears about soy and man boobs.

Many of you have the vegan thing going on. Russell Simmons likes a yoga studio that will hook you up in New York. We’re partial to Aubrey Organics moisturizers, as most of them are vegan and can be used by all veg folks. That leaves therapy….well…Dr. Phil did drop the V word on his show once.

Watch the clip of Ewan and Craig at cbs.com. The discussion which includes a vegan diet begins around minute 22.

Method Man’s Method Woman Is Off The Meat Rack

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, May 21st, 2009 in Actors, Male Singers.

Fox Network New Season Launch Event

Method Man and Redman have recorded a new album, Blackout! Vol. 2, and their latest rhymes have some veggie rhythms to them.

We would never promote the use of drugs, but feel it’s necessary to emphasize that although Method raps about following Amy Winehouse’s lead and rejecting rehab, at least his Method Woman is off meat.

From track 12, Dis Iz 4 All My Smokers:

They tried to make me go to rehab, no
Tell my P.O. that I ain’t trying to let the weed bag go
You can catch me in the whip pushing the seats back slow, my chick’s a vegan, that mean she off the meat rack, though.

If you’re interested in reading more about Blackout! Vol. 2, you’ll have to do so here on this mobile phone. Either we are late in the game learning about this type of blogging or someone at Vibe’s really creative.

Method Man is a member of the veg group Wu-Tang Clan.

David Duchovny, Matthew McCaunaghey, Olsen Twins Eat A Voltre Sante

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, May 20th, 2009 in Actors, Actresses.

**UK AND USA USE ONLY** David Duchovny on the red carpet prior to the 15th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, held at the Shrine AuditoriumWow! Several big celebrities were spotted eating at vegan friendly A Voltre Sante restaurant recently, including David Duchovny, Matthew McConaughey, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Rumor has it David used to be a vegan and his now separated from wife Tea Leoni was too. But we’re quite surprised and pleased to learn Matthew and the Olsen twins made their way there as well.

Now, vegan friendly doesn’t mean completely vegan. But to hear the spokesperson for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and the most infamous fur wearing twins at least stopping by to dine with the granola lovin’ seitan worshippers is a breath of fresh air.

Christian Bale No Longer Vegetarian: Vampire Cravings Got To Him

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, May 20th, 2009 in Actors, Not So Vegetarian.

Premiere of the Warner Bros movie Terminator SalvationIn a recent interview with GQ magazine, Dark Night Terminator dude Christian Bale has admitted to some less than vegetarian ways.

Bale failed to pay his membership dues to the veg club shortly after completing filming for American Psycho.

The bodybuilding and unbuilding you’ve done for your roles is alarming—the former all the more so for its being accomplished without any animal protein.
Actually, I’m in and out of the vegetarianism now. But yeah, the majority of the building up you’re talking about was done when I was still a vegetarian.

Dietary reasons? Or something to do with the character?
I was up in Toronto and went to see that movie Life Is Beautiful. By myself. And when I came out, I had a craving for blood unlike anything I had ever experienced since I decided to go vegetarian at the age of 7. It was a compulsion. It was undeniable. I went to several restaurants, one right after the other, and got the biggest, bloodiest steaks I could get my hands on. It was the first time I had tasted flesh in almost twenty years.

Argh! Life is beautiful, but not so much for animals when Christian gets his vampire cravings for bloody steak.

Why the change of heart (less), man?

The Mentalist Crew Drives Through Animal Rights Protesters

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, May 18th, 2009 in Actors, Animal Issues.

Mentalist - PaleyFest09Who watched The Mentalist this weekend?

Unfortunately, it’s all business on the show and Owain Yeoman doesn’t strip down to his goodies like he did for his vegetarian public service announcement.

However, a little bit of veggieness snuck its way on a recent episode, Red John’s Friends.

After “The Mentalist” Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) helps an innocent man named Jared get out of jail, the agents drive away with the newly freed ex-prisoner, planning to utilize him to help them catch a serial killer, Red John.

The group gets slowed down as they drive through a huge mob of animal rights protesters with anti-fur signs.

Coincidence? Or is Owain putting his two cents in for suggested scenes?

The Mentalist Owain Yeoman Shows His Meat Against Meat

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, May 12th, 2009 in Actors.

We had something for the guys earlier but today it’s a better ladies’ night than free cover and half off drinks.

Owain Yeoman, star in the CBS television series, The Mentalist, bares his chest for a PETA vegetarian ad.

The actor has recorded not one, but two different PSAs that you can watch, as well as an additional video over at peta.org.

Paula Abdul sang that opposites attract, but with Owain’s case, that seems to be false. He has an animal loving wife, Lucy Davis from The Office, who’s bared some skin for PETA’s Unbearable Cruelty campaign, meant to stop the use of bear fur in the hats worn by the Queen of England’s guards.

Ah, what beautiful activist children they will spawn.
