Vegetarian Star

Mad Cow movie

Mad Cow will have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival on May 17 2010.

The movie depicts an experiment gone wrong, as a scientist creates a half-man, half-cow creature that goes on rampage in this zombie/horror flick.

A vegetarian waitress turns into a weapons expert and teams up with detective Vince Chopper to battle Mad Cow in a variety of scenes.

Will she be forced to kill the creature she gave up eating?

“We loved the Mad Cow concept and knew we wanted to do this film. Mad cow is the perfect film for Cannes because, in addition to being wildly entertaining, it reminds us all that underneath the hilariously funny lies something perverted and deranged,” said Jason Rogan, one of the film’s producers.

Some fun trivia:

1. The writer of “Mad Cow” Michael Wright, wrote the first draft of the screenplay in a barn to get in touch with his inner moo.

2. The cast went to a boot camp at a dairy farm so they could get in touch with their inner moo.

“Mad Cow” is definitely a play on words of the terrible diseases associated with eating contaminated beef.

Wonder if any allegories about the downsides of the dairy industry will be touched on as well.

Alicia Silverstone may be a vegan, but she may add some butter to her life soon.

The actress is rumored to be cast in the film starring Modern Family‘s Ty Burrell featuring a butter carving champion in a small town.

According to Access Hollywood, Production Weekly says Silverstone is currently in negotiation for the comedy that has already cast Jennifer Garner and Ashley Greene.

If Silverstone were competing in a butter carving contest herself, she’d pick her favorite vegan butter, Earth Balance, as she’s blogged about it on her website, The Kind Life.

Available in tubs and traditional butter sticks, Earth Balance comes in several varieties that include soy, no soy, canola oil or without, and contain all the buttery flavor minus the cholesterol and dairy farms.

Whale Wars Season 3 Promo Poster

Animal Planet has released the Whale Wars season 3 promotional poster featuring Australian director of Sea Shepherd, Jeff Hansen, who Ecorazzi thinks is a look alike for Pete Bethune.

Bethune was not available to pose for the poster though, as he is being held in Japan on charges of “trespassing, causing injuries, obstructing commercial activities, vandalism and carrying a weapon.”

Bethune was taken into custody after boarding ship Shonan Maru 2 in an attempt to make a citizen’s arrest of its captain.

Miley Cyrus was not type casted in her latest movie, The Last Song.

Miley’s character, Ronnie Miller, is a teenager who seeks to reunite with her father one summer, all while falling in love in this coming of age film.

Ronnie’s also a vegetarian.

Miley was once. Before she ended that deal like a bad recording contract.

She was quoted as saying, “I like fried food. I wasn’t able to give up the meat. I want a steak or a burger from McDonald’s every once in a while. A double-double is just way too good. I’ve still got to eat. I’ve got the rest of my life to stay healthy.”

Is it too much to ask that she stay in character even though The Last Song has wrapped up filming?

If you invite Kal Penn over for dinner, don’t bother asking him to smoke marijuana afterwards.

Or eat burgers for dinner.

The Harold and Kumar star was known for getting stoned and eating White Castle burgers in the movie, and unfortunately Penn says this translates into some people thinking he’s like his character.

From The Insider:

“It’s sad for the people who offer me a joint because I don’t smoke weed in real life. I was also a vegetarian when we shot the first movie and that was about burgers. I don’t go out of my way to tell people I was a vegetarian or that I don’t smoke weed, because I don’t want them to be disappointed. If you want to keep the suspension of disbelief that’s OK, but then sometimes it’s weird.”

So there. The suspense is over.

Keep your burgers and your joints to yourself.

Penn recently left his job at the White House as Associate Director of Public Engagement to film the new Christmas themed Harold and Kumar movie.

During the Harold And Kumar Go To White Castle movie, Kal was given veggie burgers made to look real once he and co-star John Cho finally made it White Castle.

Isabel Lucas may have two men to thank for her going vegetarian.

The actress stopped eating meat after watching Earthlings, a documentary narrated by Joaquin Phoenix at Red Hot Chili Peppers front man Anthony Kiedis‘ home.

“I don’t feel limited by not eating meat. I eat lots of veggies and pasta and nuts, tofu and soups,” she was quoted by Popsugar as saying.

Being the environmentalist she is (she climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise awareness of the lack of clean drinking water in many areas), it’s no surprise Isabel would take the natural step by not participating in something that largely involves the very earth unfriendly practice of factory farming.

“Looking after the environment and doing things in nature was really an integral part of my life growing up. I love the environment and I want to be able to protect it.”

The Scott Pilgram vs. the World trailer is out.

The film features Michael Cera‘s character dueling with seven evil ex boyfriends of the girl who’s heart he wants to win.

This classic love story has an even more unusual twist in that one of the exes, Todd Ingram (played by Brandon Routh), is a vegan, which gives him telekinesis powers.

Watch the clip as Ingram throws Pilgrim across a street, smacking him into a building.

This jerky guy even occasionally cheats with dairy.

Some people really need to learn some better conflict/resolution skills.

If you were given superpowers because of your vegan status, you’d surely use them in a more productive, less violent way, like making test tube meat instantly available or turning real meat in faux at the snap of the finger or solving the pet overpopuation crisis.

The vegan violence begins around part 0:48.

Future Food, a show challenging two chefs to make food that’s more environmentally friendly, premieres tomorrow on Planet Green.

On a future episode of Future Food titled “Burger Wars,” a faux chicken nugget is created using tofu and corn on the cob.

Although there aren’t any birds in the recipe, 4 eggs are called for.

4 ears of corn (whole, on cob)
1 pound of tofu (firm)
1 cup of hickory wood chips
1/2 gallon of water
4 eggs
1 tablespoon salt, plus additional for seasoning flour
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon ground black pepper
Vegetable oil

The eggs are added just before the patty nuggets are formed, so more than likely they serve to keep the mixture together instead of adding any substantial flavor, which indicates this might work well with a vegan egg replacer.

Planet Green has advice for those without a smoker:

“A makeshift smoker can be made by putting your wood chips in the bottom of a deep “hotel pan,” which is a large rectangular pan with tall sides, and a similarly sized hotel pan with perforations placed on top of the wood chip pan. Heat this over a flame until wood starts to smoke, add your items to be smoked, and cover with a lid.”

Grab the instructions for making corn on the cob tofu chicken nuggets.
