Vegetarian Star

A lot can change in two years. Joaquin Phoenix has undergone a transformation lately, and not just in his career. Some people are into that scruffy, hobo look. Some wish he would make an appointment with the barber. Don’t even get us started on that gansta rap thing. So between the two Joaquins, who would you rather do…

Orlando Jones, actor from Madtv and 7Up commercials, isn’t just any vegan. He’s one of those pain in the butt raw vegans.

“I’m like vegan raw so I’m really a pain in the butt about what I eat,” he told Parade Magazine. “I’ve been pursuing it actively for 14 years.”

He’s making his next television appearance as a regular on CBS’ Rules of Engagement and he might be able to offer the cast some tips on a delicious vegan meal now and then, like this tomato pasta soup he recommended:

“Take some tomato soup and season it until it’s perfect for your taste buds. Then add your pasta and cook it Sicilian style in the soup so it doesn’t absorb any water. You don’t need any sauce. That’s what is really fantastic about it. People look for the sauce and you tell them it’s already in there.”

Although he obviously gets in the kitchen regularly, he’s not a big fan of television cooking shows, yet admits Emeril Lagasse makes him laugh because he’s always telling people to add more fat and grease to their food.

“I’m like, ‘Dude, you are just trying to make people explode.’”

You can’t go to any news site on the web these days without hearing about the filming of the upcoming sequel to Twilight, New Moon.

Peter Facinelli will be returning to the set to play Dr. Carlisle Cullen and if his preparation is anything like it was for Twilight, he’ll be downing steak like it’s the last cow on earth. Disgusting!

“I started eating a lot more meat than I usually eat,” Facinelli said, when asked by Premier.com if he tried to be vegetarian to get into character for the role of a vegetarian vampire. Remember, these are only pseudo vegetarian vampires, because “vegetarian” to them, just means not eating humans.

“I was just hungry for red meat the whole time. So it kind of had a backwards effect on me, because normally I’m more on the vegetarian side. So with this, I was eating steak all the time.”

Normally on the vegetarian side? So normally, Peter doesn’t eat humans, hahahaha.

While his children with wife Jennie Garth were enjoying tofu stir-fry, he was sinking his fangs into beef. 

Hopefully, he’s gotten that out of his system and doesn’t need “re-schooling” to get back into character.

Hey Peter, just pretend your steak is cute little Bella and you’re Edward trying to fight off the urge to give her a big open mouth smooch and swallow.

“They are marshmallows. Or at least marshmallow-like treats.”

“And they claim to be “vegan.” But how can you really tell?”

“Because if you look at this symbol, it seems like they don’t quite understand what “vegan” means.”

“100% vegan. And now with real rabbit.”

—-Lost actor Jorge Garcia, on the irony of how a symbol for a vegan product is an animal. Apparently, the maker of the product, Sweet and Sara, had a rabbit for a childhood pet named Skipper. The bunny logo serves as a symbol that no animals were harmed in the production (ingredients or byproducts) of the marshmallows.

He looks suspicious, and the Actors’ Equity grievance committee is looking to uncover the truth.

Jeremy Piven was set to appear in front of the committee today to give his case on how mercury poison forced him to withdraw from the production of Speed-the-Plow.

Add one more reason to the list of why you shouldn’t eat fish, besides the fact that it’s bad for the planet (and the fishes too, of course): People will laugh their arses off when you get sick.

“It’s my understanding that he’ll be there — unless he has too much sushi on the plane from LA,” someone involved in the proceedings joked, according to the New York Post.

The actor went on sick leave from the Broadway production months ago after he claimed doctors found as much as five times the amount of normal mercury levels in his blood. 

He never returned to the show, even after he allegedly got better.

The Producers of Speed-the-Plow alleged Jeremy really wasn’t sick with mercury poisoning, and that he went partying during the time he supposedly was on bed rest.

If Piven can’t produce the results showing he was sick, he could be forced to settle financially with the producers.

Piven had said then that, “years of being a fish eating vegetarian was enough to do the trick and act as a catalyst.”

 Battlestar Galactica actor Jamie Bamber, who played Lee “Apollo” Adama, is currently starring in a new role as the half naked man urging the Queen’s guards not to put any clothes on either.

Because uniformed guards are sexy, but naked guards are even better.

Technically, he’s urging the Queens’ guards not to put any fur on-their heads. The hats worn by the guards are made from Canadian black bear fur. And as you probably guessed, the bears weren’t just given a “haircut” and sent back into the wilderness.

It takes an entire bear hide to make a single cap.

“I initially decided to do the PETA ad because a great friend of mine in L.A., Lucy Davis, had just done a similar ad, and I love Lucy and it was a cause I didn’t know about – I’ll be honest,” Bomber said in an interview.

“So as soon as Lucy opened my eyes, I was thrilled to join her and do my bit.”

“The obvious alternative is to make caps out of faux fur. You know, use synthetic materials to avoid killing a beautiful animal. They’re not to keep warm. It’s not particularly freezing outside Buckingham Palace. You could wear something else. And you could certainly wear faux fur.”

Bamber isn’t the first celebrity to take an interest in the hats the guards wear. US singer Pink has also expressed her concern.

You can sign a petition urging officials to use hats from faux fur. Apparently, all the talk is working. The Minister of Defense has said it was open to the idea of a synthetic material that can be worn in all weather.

Tim Martin, CEO and founder of iZO Cleanze, has just completed 100 days of juicing in an effort to transform his health.

iZO Cleanze products consist of 100% organic, vegan, raw and gluten-free juices, teas and cleansing elixirs and have helped Martin rid himself of Candida, lower his cholesterol, and drop 20 pounds.

Martin now plans to slowly add vegan foods to his diet, such as soups and salads and eat 80-90% raw.

Many celebrities have reported that iZO Cleanze does it for them as well, such as Patricia Heaton, Daisy Fuentes, Eva LaRue, and Tony Shaloub.

Sheryl Lee, actress in Dirty Sexy Money and Twin Peaks said:

“I did 10 days of the IZO cleanze over the holiday season and it was one of the best Christmas presents that I could have gotten. I took it as an opportunity to go inside and to let go of some things that were no longer working in my life and to open myself up to more health and more space for the good stuff. I feel so much better all around and even though I was a fairly healthy eater before, I am now craving even healthier foods and mostly raw.”

You can follow the iZO Cleanze CEO’s’ juicing journey on his blog.
