Vegetarian Star

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.”

Isaiah Mustafa, the Old Spice Man, told the New York Post one of the top secrets to being a great man (in addition to never using pick up lines and keeping up with your man-icure) was eating healthy. Although he admitted to loving steaks and burgers, he’s on a vegan cleanse that doesn’t even allow caffeine.

“I pretty much eat lentils and certain types of tofu,” Mustafa said, adding that he couldn’t wait for it to end. But a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno along with previous reports, reveals Mustafa is mainly peeved about his gluten-filled goodies.

“Here’s the tough one: no gluten.”

If that’s all he’s worried about, then maybe Old Spice Man will bring back whole wheat pasta and add some seitan to his manly life–leaving the unmanly animal flesh behind for good!

Watch a clip from Mustafa’s visit to The Tonight Show below.

“It’s certainly putting veganism, veganity we call it in this movie, the vegan lifestyle is put out there. Todd isn’t necessarily the nicest promoter of the vegan lifestyle but it speaks well of it to say that you get the power of telekinesis and superpowers because you’re more clear, you’re more healthy, all of those things. So I think that they all have a good sense of humor.”

—Brandon Routh, on how he thinks vegans react to the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World movie in which he plays a vegan ex boyfriend who uses superpowers the diet gives him to fight Scott Pilgrim.

Actress Ashley Bell plays a possessed Nell Sweetzer in the upcoming film, The Last Exorcism. Bell told Nylon magazine that the director asked her in advance if she was vegetarian, so he could choose between chicken broth or Gatorade for her vomit during one scene.

Bell isn’t a meat eater, so she swished the thirst quenching sports drink in her mouth instead. The Last Exorcism comes out in theatres on August 27th.

Watch a sneak peek film below.

In case you missed any of the numerous commercial promos on television, it’s Shark Week on the Discovery Channel. Every carnivorous day of the week.

The Humane Society International has compiled a list of tips, one different tip for every day of the week, for those interested in helping to protect the great fish that rule the oceans.

If you eat at a restaurant that serves Asian food, for example, ask the staff if shark fin is on the menu. If so, walk out and let them know why you’re headed for the door. This is a practice already illegal to do in Hawaii.

Does anyone remember Emily Deschanel‘s character, Dr. Temperance Brennan, announcing she was a vegetarian early on the show? Deschanel didn’t want a mirror image of her own self in Brennan, so she preferred the forensic scientist not go vegan. Deschanel told Vegetarian Times in the September 2010 print issue:

“I can’t remember if it was my idea or not. I didn’t want her to become vegan–and she’s vegetarian for health reasons, not because of animal rights. It’s important to keep a separation between actor and character. I do always ask for episodes touching on animal rights in the same way. And I ask that there’s a character to present the case for animals in every episode.”

Since Dr. Brennan is a scientist, it’s completely reasonable for her to eschew meat for environmental reasons too. Plus, handling so many human bones would turn anyone away from animal flesh.

Deschanel says that while she used to have an addiction to seitan piccata, now she’s into soups.

Vegan HLN anchor Jane Velez-Mitchell will host an ex NASA scientist tonight on her Issues With Jane Velez Mitchell show.

April Evans quit her job in development for NASA after learning about the agency’s radiation experiments on monkeys, something NASA officials say is necessary to assess risks to astronauts when they’re flying around the Earth’s orbit.

“I began to feel guilty that I was part of an organization doing this,” Evans said in the Houston and Texas Chronicle.

Will a movie about a solider returning home from war and working in a slaughterhouse turn everyone at the box office veggie? If they’re anything like the assistant director to Ryan Piers Williams‘ film The Dry Land, it might.

The assistant director gave up eating meat after filming a live slaughter of a cow during the movie, according to Contact Music.

Williams told WENN, “The cow was slaughtered and we shot it documentary style. We went to this slaughter house before we started shooting and that cow was going to be slaughtered on that day and we documented it. It was very brutal to watch and to witness.”
