Vegetarian Star

The Animal Planet television series, “Whale Wars,” premiered on November 7, 2008. If you’re looking to watch a vegan, eco-pirate show, this may for you.

The heavily Hayden Panettiere promoted show stars Captain Paul Watson, who founded the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. He and his crew on the boat named “Steve Irwin” after the late crocodile hunter, attempt to non-violently stop Japanese ships from hunting whales that are to be later used in research purposes.

The crew is fed three vegan meals every day, as was revealed in the introductory episode. No word on if every one on board is completely vegan or if the Captain just has some strict rules about what happens on his boat.

Some of the tactics the crew uses to deter the whale hunters are throwing stink bombs filled with rancid butter on the ships.

And this is not your typical peaceful protest. In one episode, Watson was allegedly shot, but was protected by his bulletproof vest.

Is this Whale Wars or Cops?

It will be interesting to see if veganism comes up in future episodes between shoot ’em up moments with the hunters.

Just because the election is over, doesn’t mean you have to wait awhile to exercise your rights. Petadishoom, the youth Bollywood version of Peta, is holding it’s second annual Sexiest Vegetarian Contest.

Lots of hot Bollywood celebrities, like Mr. Abraham pictured here, are in the running, including Kareena Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Shahid Kapoor, R.Madhavan, and Mahima Chaudhary. There are even some Hollywood people running on the ballot, including Alicia Silverstone and soon to be singing star Joaquin Phoenix.

Last year, Kareena Kapoor and R.Madhavan got bragging rights. From the list above, they’re running again, but with all the drastic political upsets that took place in the U.S. on Tuesday, there’s no telling what could happen.

So do your duties. After you’ve finished salivating over the picture of John, of course. Need to have a clear mind before making important decisions.

Sometimes it’s tough to be a big shot actor. The media shows no mercy. Not to mention how hard it is to find good vegetarian food when you’re shooting a film overseas.

When Mark Ruffalo was filming the comedy, The Brothers Bloom, in Serbia, he found it hard to find good veggie grub, and mainly had to eat what is called a Shopska salad. It doesn’t sound half bad-tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, roasted peppers, and sirene (white brine cheese). But eating that every day could make a brother bloom rather gloom.

“It was really sad for me there,” he told the UK Metro, referring to his lack of vegetarian options.

Not to mention the Cannibalistic Serbs who love to snack on vegetarian actors.

“When I told them I was vegetarian they were like ‘you must be from America because nobody here would ever be vegetarian – we tear you vegetarians to pieces and eat you!'”

Unless of course, you give them an autograph. Then they’ll eat someone else.

Always nice to be welcomed abroad.

Joaquin Phoenix has left the building. Well, the director’s building, that is. After over two decades of acting, the Golden Globe winner wants to concentrate on his singing career. His veganness may give him an advantage.

Many singers refrain from dairy before a performance, saying it creates mucous and clogs their pipes. Some in the medical profession disagree, but those who follow the practice would bet a record contract on it.

Vegan actress and singer Portia White (who co-produced an animal rights film Phoenix narrated, Earthlings) once remarked how she noticed less problems with sinus and congestion hindering her voice once she made the transition to completely vegan.

Wishing him well on his vocal endeavors, everyone take a deep breath and sing, “Do Re Mi Fa So La Milk No.”

Milo stalkers, uh, we mean, paparazzi caught Milo Ventimiglia shopping at Whole Foods grocery store, the place where you have to have either a record deal or television contract to afford.

There’s a picture of Milo walking with three bags from Whole Foods (but no Hayden Panettiere was helping). Milo has been quoted as saying, “I’m a homebody, I’d rather be in the kitchen cooking than hanging out in a bar.”

So refreshing to see a Hollywood star living up to his word.

Obviously, there’s ingredients for something veggie in there. And we bet he’s pretty good at whipping meatless stuff up, given the fact that he’s been eating vegetarian since day 0 in utero and all.

Here’s the question, though: What do you think Milo cooked that night? Does anyone know his favorite dish? Any ideas as to what he made?

Mmmm…And who doesn’t have a sweet tooth for him?

Adam Levine and the rest of the guys in Maroon 5 held a Halloween party that was completely vegan.

They called upon the expertise of raw food chef and author Ani Phyo to cater dairy free treats such as Happy Halloween Chocolates and Apricot Kream Filled Acai Tartlets.

According to Ani’s website, most of the guys in the band are vegan.

You can look at a picture of Adam’s costume, along with some of the other star guests who attended, such as Adrian Grenier from Entourage who went as Oliver, from Oliver’s Twist, on Ani’s blog.

If delicious pics of the guys don’t satisfy you, try making one of Ani’s recipes.

“There’s a big scene where we do finally make it to White Castle and eat some burgers. And the producers had the food technicians make some really good veggie burgers that looked like meat. I probably ate about 30 of them.”

—-Kal Penn, who played “Kumar,” in the movie Harold and Kumar go to White Castle. As a vegetarian for cultural, religious, and ethical reasons, he needed a little change in the script in order to perform his role.

So Peta stands by its people (unless they decide to wear fur after pledging not to or are caught munching on pork rinds by the paparazzi). Even though Russell Brand’s association with their vegetarian starter kit brought complaints and criticism due to an on-air prank he participated in, they stood by their decision to keep him as the cover boy. But do they know about his dead animal toss up act a few years ago?

An article from Female First has recently been brought to attention that Russell Brand once performed a live show where he threw dead animals at the audience. If you could only afford front row seats to that one. Granted, he didn’t eat the dead animals or ask anyone in the audience to taste them.

But still, does Peta know about this? Not that it will change their opinions, but how does this change your opinion on him? Do you find this completely unacceptable for a person promoting a vegetarian lifestyle?

Obviously, people change their ways and no one is perfect. This is just one of the many items on Brand’s shock record, which include an arrest for stripping in a protest march and filming himself taking a bath with a homeless man and living with a prostitute.
