Rob Schneider Does The Veggie Bean And Weenies?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 11th, 2009 in Actors, Comedians, Food & Drink.

Is Rob Schneider a vegetarian?

The comedian and actor has had starring roles in Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo and The Hot Chick and has been a veteran on Saturday Night Live.

A question on RobSchneider.com asked, “If you were to be a spokesperson for a new Hormel food product what would it be for?”

Rob’s answer was, “Vegetarian bean and weenie pockets.” 

Does Rob do veggie? Or does he just like vegetarian products?

If he is veg, and knew about all the alleged Hormel sins, maybe he would have picked another company.

Uh-oh. Things could get ugly. Because you remember what happened last time a vegetarian was on Amazing Race. Does sheep butt ring a bell?

Mike White, writer, producer, and actor who’s writing credits include School of Rock and Nacho Libre has teamed up with his dad, Mel White, on this season’s Amazing Race.

You may have heard of his film dedicated to animal rights, Year of the Dog.

Mike was inspired to go vegan and embrace animal rights after befriending a cat he inherited after moving to a new home. Not realizing how attached to the cat he had become, Mike was so devastated when it passed, he had children coming up to comfort him in the animal hospital.

This guy is so veganized, he’s even worn two PETA T-shirts so far on the show.

Wishing Mike and dad best of luck, and hoping he doesn’t have to do lamb eating contest like Terence Gerchberg did last season. That would be so baa-baa-baaad. Okay, okay, bad joke. 

If you’re interested in viewing a video of Mike  talking about his veganness and love for animals, visit peta.org.

Steve-O, born Stephen Glover, was known for pulling  dangerous junior high pranks on the MTV show “Jackass.” Now, he’s back on television, this time doing the rumba, waltz, and other dances with professional partner Lacey Schwimmer on the ABC television series, Dancing With The Stars.

And according to various sources, including his sister, Steve-O will be one vegetarian dancing with the stars.

Several reports from the web, like Steve’s blog, mention that he became vegetarian over the recent years.

He did an anti-fur ad for PETA back in 2007. If your memory fails you, here goes…

You can see why we chose the picture at the top to start the post off with. Save the PG-13 materials for later.

Hope Steve is sticking with his veggie diet. Wishing him best of luck on the show.

Vegetarian Vampire Rob Pattinson Dating Vegan Natalie Portman?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, March 9th, 2009 in Actors, Actresses, Couples.

2009 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Graydon Carter - Arrivals

Rumors are circulating that Robert Pattinson is dating vegan Natalie Portman.

Sources say the two met at a pre-Oscars party and have been in touch since.

Could there be a blossoming romance in the making?

Is so, we could almost have a veg on veg couple like the former Hayden Panettiere/Milo Ventimiglia unit.

Rob was “vegetarian vampire” Edward Cullen in Twilight and Nat’s a real life vegan who even tried her hand (or shall we say her foot) at her own vegan shoe company before the economy stomped (haha pun, pun) them out.

Maybe Natalie could do some converting and turn the vegetarian vampire into a real one.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals encourages vegetarians to date non-vegetarians, and president Ingrid Newkirk once said in an interview with green gossip site Ecorazzi, “In fact if they get someone to see how wonderful a vegan diet is, I say, “ Dump him. Move on now! It’s his or her turn to go out and get somebody else over to our side.” When you talk to people one of the strongest reasons they go VEG is because they had a girlfriend or a boyfriend who was VEG.”

Whoa! Watch out Rob, don’t get your heart broken.

But if there’s any truth to the rumor, we bet Natalie’s not interested is breaking Rob’s heart once it’s cleared of potential animal clogging fat.

Milo Ventimiglia Surrounded By Chicks For Vegetarian Ad?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, March 7th, 2009 in Actors, Videos.

Scratch or Spin: The Great DJ Debate Presented by PATRON

“Heroes” stars Milo Ventimiglia and Greg Grunberg recently did a “Heroes Exposed” commentary, where Milo announced someone had wanted him to do an ad for vegetarianism with him surrounded by baby chickens with the caption, “Chicks Dig Me.”

Sounds suspiciously like a similar “Respect Chicks. Go Vegetarian,” campaign PETA Asia Pacific ran with Yasmien Kurdi.

What do you guys think? Is Milo joking around or do you think he was approached by PETA and asked to do a vegetarian ad?

If anything, Mr. Peter Petrelli needs to do one of those skin baring ads like Jamie Bamber did, chicks or no chicks, promoting vegetarianism, right ladies?

Milo once joked that he’s been a vegetarian since he was in his mother’s womb, since mom was veg while she was pregnant with Milo.

You can view the video of Milo and Greg doing the commentary. Milo starts talking about the vegetarian ad around minute 31:00.

Thomas Dekker Terminated Meat Chronicles At 12

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, March 6th, 2009 in Actors.

FOX All-Star Party At The Pier - Arrivals

Thomas Dekker plays the somewhat “golden child” John Connor on Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. But unlike other special children, being marked doesn’t work in his favor, as it targets him for assassination by a “Terminator” named Cromatie.

The episodes involve routine activities in any teen boy’s life, like running away from the killer robots with mom, pretending you’re not a weirdo at school, and blowing up and burning other robots.

And how about that hot good Terminator robot, Cameron Phillips, played by Summer Glau? Giggity, giggity. Ahem…moving on to vegetarian news.

Thomas has been a vegetarian since 12 (he’s 21 now) and an encounter on a pig farm gradually led him to remove all meat from his diet.

From the March 2009 issue of Vegetarian Times:

“When I was about eight years old, I stumbled on a pig factory. After seeing what went on there, I immediately gave up all pig products. Then, four years later, I asked myself the obvious question: “Why am I not eating pigs, but still eating other animals?” So at that point I gave it all up.”

We’ve heard of shunning red meat first, then becoming vegetarian. And then there are people who go vegetarian before going vegan. But to give up pig products, then give up the rest of animals is quite a different way to go. Awesome that it worked for Thomas!

Pick up the latest issue of Vegetarian Times on the stands to learn what Thomas’ favorite veggie dish is. Hint: It includes pasta and Tofurky sausages.

Jeremy Piven Hasn’t Learned, Still Studying With School Of Fishes

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 4th, 2009 in Actors, Not So Vegetarian.

15th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - Arrivals

The self proclaimed “fish eating vegetarian” Jeremy Piven claims he had to withdraw from the production of a play, Speed-The-Plow, because he developed mercury poisoning.

However, it doesn’t appear as if he’s learned his lesson, as he’s still chowing down on Charlie Tuna and his little mermaid brothel.

He was recently spotted eating calamari salad and tuna tartare surrounded by the ladies, including Michael Phelps’ ex, Marina Katz, at the Mondrian Hotel’s Sunset Lounge.

“After recovering from mercury poisoning, a patient should be avoiding foods that are known to be contaminated with mercury, such as tuna, for at least three months,” Dr. Grace Keenan told OK!.

After recovering from mercury poisoning, you’d think a patient would be terrified to touch any tuna for more than three months. Sigh…

Jason Donovan: A Vegan Soybean Addict?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 4th, 2009 in Actors, Food & Drink, Male Singers.

Sony Radio Academy Awards - Arrivals

Jason Donovan is an Australian actor and singer, who like some in the entertainment business, dabbled in drugs. OK, not really dabbled, but made another part time career in it.

He once suffered a drug induced coma at Kate Moss’ 21st birthday party at the Viper Room, the same club where River Phoenix died two years before.

Once he and partner Angela Malloch had their eldest child, Jemma, he cleaned up his lifestyle, but has he become addicted to another pleasure? In an interview with the UK Times Online:

“We start here, and we toxify ourselves, we realise the damage we do, and we all become vegan f***ing soy bean addicts.”

A vegan soy bean addict sure sounds like fun. The drug is cheap, tasty, and is even good for you in moderate amounts.

While in some regions it may be hard to find, in others it’s on every street corner-at convenience stores, supermarkets, restaurants, and food carts.

And you never have to worry about developing a code word to ask for it.

Show us a dealer. We wanna get hooked.
