Mae Whitman doesn’t show off any vegan superpowers during her role in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, even though she became one nine months ago.

The actress has been a vegetarian for years and says the staff on the set of the NBC television series Parenthood makes it easy to stay vegan.

“We have the best craft services I’ve ever had in my life,” Whitman said, according to MNN. “Sometimes they’ll bring a raw vegan chef. Some of the wardrobe gals are vegan and a lot of people are vegetarian. A lot of us want to eat healthier and they make it very accessible.”

Sophia Bush

Sophia Bush of One Tree Hill has toyed with vegetarianism and veganism, but finds it hard to keep up the diet and lifestyle after a few days.

“I don’t know if it’s a blood type thing or what, but if I don’t eat meat for a few days I actually start to get sick,” Bush told Ecostiletto. “But what I’ve done is decrease the amount of meat that I eat.

Michelle Rodriguez

Avatar and Lost actress Michelle Rodriguez will be joining Sea Shepherd on an anti-whaling voyage in the future. Rodriguez made the announcement at the organization’s “Sea No Evil” fundraiser.

“I’m going to go on the next voyage,” she said. “So you guys are actually helping to support the next team to go out to Antarctica and bust their asses on that ship, trying to save some whales. So, I’m going to be one of those people on board.”

The actual length of time she’ll spend on the voyage is unknown, and as Ecorazzi points out, Daryl Hannah‘s trip was reduced significantly because the actress had a conflict. According to Rodriguez’s Internet Movie Database profile, she’s known for her “tough girl” roles in films. Her stint with Sea Shepherd may be her biggest kick butt part ever.

Rodriguez can be seen at the Sea No Evil event making her announcement below:
