Vegetarian Star

Dave Letterman‘s warm up comedian Eddie Brill was once a 400 pound, two packs of cigarettes a day smoker facing a multitude of health problems.

He’s since lost over 100 pounds and become a vegan, proving the funny man doesn’t have to be fat, as he hosted a comedy show at NYC’s Gotham Comedy Club, “Laughter and Food is the Best Medicine.”

Steve-O has narrated a short film about the intelligence of farmed animals like pigs, cows and chickens.

Produced by Farm Sanctuary, What Came Before is approximately a 10 minute video that also discusses the horrors animals experience on farms, as well as rescue stories.

The film begins with a story about a pig rescued from a farm after strong floods hit Iowa.

“Pigs like Nicky are some of the smartest animals on earth,” Steve-o says.

Steve-O has known for some time that animals don’t belong on his plate.

But the actor recently opened up to US Magazine on how his pets have helped him overcome a serious addiction.

He credits his two rescue dogs, Walter and Bernie, for helping him get sober.

“You know, the way I feel about it, and it might sound a little weird as far as comparisons go, but getting a dog reminds me of getting a cell phone because there’s that overwhelming feeling when I first got a cell phone of ‘How did I ever live without this and what would I ever do if I lost it?'” said Steve-O.

“I feel in one sense very, very honored. But in another sense — this is pretty funny — my dad told me he didn’t care about any of the other people on the sheet of stamps, and he asked me if I could get a special sheet of just my stamp.”

—Steve-O, who was featured in PETA’s limited edition set of postal stamps featuring famous vegetarian celebrities.

Bet Steve’s dad put a whole sheet of stamps on the fridge, where the comedian and actor who calls himself the “vegan nerd” stashes “almond milk, Gardein brand fake chicken breasts, and plenty of raw fruits and veggies.”

Rosie O’Donnell spoke with Entertainment Tonight about her recent heart health scare and how she hopes switching to a vegetarian diet will help erase some of the damage she’s done to her health over the years.

“I’d like to say I had a heart attack — because women especially like to say heart event. I’m like ‘No, it’s a real heart attack,'” she emphasized. “But I’m feeling better, I’m following the doctor’s orders, and it’s totally made me change the way that I was living.”

A study found that 13% of physicians recommend a low-fat vegetarian diet for their heart patients, although it’s recommended all do. O’Donnell has chosen to follow this advice, regardless of any RX.
