Vegetarian Star

Ugly Betty actress Rebecca Romijn is expecting a set of twins with husband Jerry O’Connell and according to Female First, she’s definitely craving soy cheese for three. Hubby O’Connell said:

“Lemonade always has to be in our fridge. That’s my job. Also soy cream cheese. It’s crazy, right? Can’t be cream cheese. Soy cream cheese. Do you know how difficult it is to find soy cream cheese? It’s usually in the corner of the supermarket someplace!”

Hard to find soy products in some supermarkets?! You don’t have to tell us about it. It would be cool if she kept craving soy products after the twins are delivered.

It’s about time the cast of a medical drama realize an apple a day really can keep the doctor away. Grey’s Anatomy’s actress Sandra Oh took a bunch of members of the crew and cast to Truly Vegan, a vegan restaurant in Hollywood, to sample dozens of vegan delights, according to Star magazine.

According to sources, the (TV) doctors are convinced vegan food is good medicine. Here’s more of the scoop: Patrick Dempsey really enjoyed the vegan chocolate cake. Ellen Pompeo has gone back several times since the August 1st outing to enjoy many more McDreamy vegan goodies and McSteamy Veggies.

Truly Vegan is reported to be one of Oh’s favorite vegan restaurants.

It’s not too late to vote for your favorite veg celebrity for the 2008 Veggie Awards hosted by Veg News magazine. And while you’re at it, you can, cough, cough, make us a write in candidate for best veg blog. No really. We’re not listed, but there’s a beautiful empty box that will allow you to enter your favorite vegetarian blog. Just a suggestion for your veg politics, of course. We’re not radical or anything. But you may think of our write in victory as the Ralph Nador that’s not going to get away.

You could win lunch with Dan Piraro. We heard if you’re really nice, he’ll show his chicken breasts to you.

Some celebs in the running include Alicia Silvertone, Benjamin Zephaniah, and Emily Deschanel for best vegan celebrity. For vegan musicians, Moby, Chrissie Hynde, and Russell Simmons are vying for the title. And Mac Danzig, who thinks PETA is sooo junior high is competing for best vegan athlete.

But there are many other benefits to making us a write-in candidate, such as you winning fake leather bags, and vegan bakery goodies such as chocolate and veg marshmallows in the prize pool.

So take a net trip over there before the end of August, vote for your favorite (subliminal: Vegetarian Star, Vegetarian Star, Vegetarian Star) vegetarian blog, and best of luck in the drawings!

A few excerpts from Corey Feldman’s interview with Blockbuster Buzz  about Lost Boys 2. If you haven’t already seen his new ad with wife Susie Feldman…we’ll let you take a look and find out for yourself.

Quite a few people have commented on how you’ve hardly aged since the Eighties. Are you in fact a vampire?
Yes I am. (long pause..then laughter) People are always assuming I have Botox or surgery or something but I just don’t believe in the ageing process. I don’t drink alcohol, I’m a vegetarian and I think all that helps.

Was Corey Haim’s cameo planned to be a much larger part at some point?
Well, initially he wasn’t set to be in the movie at all. I really pushed for him to be included and at one point we were scheduled to shoot I think 3 scenes with him. Then there were some breakdowns and problems with the shoot, and Warners effectively restructured the deal after it was agreed so he just ended up doing this little cameo.

There’s a lot of talk about a third Lost Boys film – Just natural excitement or is something going to happen?
Well, I don’t know – The studio are very happy with the response to Lost Boys 2 and it’s being talked about a lot but there’s nothing certain…yet!

Marcus Patrick sat down with Skope magazine and gave the lowdown on many things including his diet, Britney Spears and Amy Winehouse, and how someone who doesn’t exactly have his six pack looks can get a wonderful woman.

Stoli: You keep yourself in great shape. Can you offer a glimpse into your gym & diet routine?

Marcus: I am a vegan. I don’t eat flesh or Dairy. This has helped me so much with staying lean. There is So little saturated fat in a vegan Diet that I can afford to only hit the gym Once a Week. But I do run track twice a week.

Stoli: In America, it seems as though the public thrives off of negative behavior displayed by Britney, Amy Winehouse, or Bobby Brown. How do you look at all that and does that influence you at all?

Marcus: I live My life free, I dance, I train people, I act, I sing. I simply treat others with respect and hope they do the same to me. It’s odd that society rewards all the disfunctional behavior with attention and contracts.

Stoli: For the average joe out there with not much game, can you offer some advice how he can get a hot chick to go out with him?

Marcus: Get his shit together! Work out, eat healthy, get a job, get educated. Bring something to the table for a woman. Let her know you can be there for her if she’s in need. A lazy guy has nothing to offer.

Rachel Ray and Emeril better be watching their backs. Kevin Nealon might be waiting for them, ready to attack with his carrot sticks as he apparently knows how to cook a mean chickpea taco. There’s a recipe on Nutrition MD attributed to the Saturday Night Live and Weeds actor.

He once made fun of meat eaters by saying:

“I can’t wait for meal time when I can chow down on the decomposing corpse of a tortured animal. I like knowing that eating meat makes me four times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke.”

Kevin Nealon’s Chickpea Tacos

1 small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 15-ounce can chickpeas, drained
3 – 5 tablespoons salsa
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 dash cayenne pepper, or to taste
8 – 10 taco shells

In large saute pan, heat oil over medium heat.

Cook onion, celery, and green pepper until softened. Add chickpeas, salsa, cumin, and chili powder. Stir and cook until warmed. Mash chickpeas slightly with a fork for better texture.

Fill shells evenly with mixture from saute pan. If desired, top with any of the following: chopped tomatoes, shredded soy or rice cheese, low-fat guacamole, shredded lettuce, hot sauce, or salsa.

As promised, we like to bring you oldies but goodies. RZA is an actor, rapper, musician, and producer of the group Wu-Tang Clan. Born Robert Diggs, he uses an awful lot of other names such as Bobby Digital, Ruler Zig-Zag-Zig Allah, Bobby Steels, Rzarector, Abbott, and Prince Rakeem.

A year ago when he was touring in Europe, Time Out took a little time out to ask him questions about his veg lifestyle. He’s created his own veggie burger, the RZA Burger. With all the stars doing their own food lines lately, we’re wondering if the RZA burger can give Boca a run for their money. One catch though: The RZA burger is served on waffles!  While we’re not flocking to the stores to request them, maybe there will be a niche market somewhere.

You’re touring Europe right now with the Wu-Tang Clan. I know you keep a strict vegetarian diet—what are you eating over there?
The Grand Hyatt in Berlin definitely came strong with the spicy rigatoni. Berlin also had a good butternut-squash soup. In the old days it was terrible over here for a vegetarian. Nowadays they stepped their game up, yo. The whole Clan’s been saying it.

What’s a RZA burger?
A RZA burger is a veggie patty with a fried egg, cheese, lettuce, pickles and all that, smashed between two delicious waffles. Spread mustard and mayo on it with a little butter and put that shit together. Trust me, son, that shit needs to be in stores.

I’m sold. Do you bust out the grill on tour?
If I have my special tour bus ready by then, you may be able to get a burger. If I’m on the regular tour bus, then bong bong.

Read the rest of what RZA, Bobby Digital, Ruler Zig-Zag-Zig Allah, Bobby Steels, Rzarector, Abbott, and Prince Rakeem have to say here.
