Vegetarian Star

A new film that tackles the issue of America’s dependency on foreign oil, Fuel, is screening in theatres across the country.

During the film, director Josh Tickell, rides across the nation in a vegetable oil powered van interviewing politicians, celebrity activists, and academics on a variety of alternative energy issues.

Know who else rides around in a veggie oil powered set of wheels?

Fred Mascherino, ex guitarist for Taking Back Sunday and creator of musical project, The Color Fred.

We bet Fred keeps his pants on while driving though.

Actor Daniel Roebuck has worked with Rob Zombie in several movies, including Devil’s Rejects, Halloween, Halloween 2 and The Haunted World of El Superbeasto.

In El Superbeasto, Daniel was a little surprised to see his voiced lent animated character from Devil’s Rejects, TV talk show host Morris Green, was a little portlier than he thought.

”The first time Rob showed it to me I said, ‘Could I be any fatter?’ My perception of myself is that I’m just a tall guy,” says Roebuck with a laugh. ”But Rob Zombie, this skinny vegetarian, sees me as a big-faced, fat behemoth.”

Ah, don’t feel bad Daniel.

Maybe a little less meat in your diet would take off that 10 pounds the camera-even if animated-puts on.

Vegetarians do tend to be 10-20 pounds lighter than meat eaters.

And even if it doesn’t, you’ll feel healthier anyway.

Nobody, written and directed by Rob Perez, (40 Days and 40 Nights) is about an art student named Lindeman struggling to find himself.

Through his discovery, Lindeman lands himself into various ridiculous situations.

One scene in Nobody features a vegan revolution, which was filmed in Minneapolis, Minnesota outside a place called Porky’s, located near Minneapolis College of Art and Design.

Porky’s menu features…uh, let the name speak for itself, along with burgers and other meaty items.

Our imaginations can only wander as we think of what might take place during the veg revolution.

Nobody premiers October 2.

Suck

Suck recently premiered at the Toronto Film Festival.

It’s a vampire horror comedy featuring stars like Moby, Alice Cooper, and Iggy Pop.

A rock band wishes to become famous and gets a chance to do so after meeting a vampire-and gets more than a record deal in the package.

“It’s sort of like an exaggerated rock & roll world,” says director and writer Rob Stefaniuk. “I’ve seen a lot of rock & roll movies, but what I wanted to do differently is make it less of a cinéma vé?rité — this is what it feels like to be in a real band, and yet I didn’t want to do a parody of a bunch of guys that go ‘Yeah dude’ and a big roadie. I wanted it to feel real, so you’re not in a band with a bunch of druggie people; you’re in a band with a bunch of vampires.”

The movie, as expected, features lots of blood and guts, and latex rubber “meat” was created to throw at vegan Moby, who plays “Beef Ballow,” lead singer for the band Secretaries of Steak.

Great idea these guys used fake meat-unlike that horrible meat tree from True Blood, so Moby wouldn’t hurl blood from disgust.

If you haven’t had enough of this “vegetarian” vampire talk with the Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse sagas, there’s more to satisfy your cravings of blood sucking creatures pretending to be vegetarians just because they don’t eat people.

But people like vampires, whether they eat meat, veggie burgers, or people, and the series premiere of The Vampire Diaries was the most watched in The CW network’s history, drawing 4.8 million viewers, topping 90210‘s 2008 debut, according to Tvguidge.com.

If it’s any consolation, vegetarian vampires, like Stefan pictured on the right, suffer ridicule and are ostracized like human do sometimes.

From tuftsdaily.com:

“The show follows Elena (Nina Dobrev), a tragically beautiful high-school student who has recently suffered her parents’ deaths. She is immediately attracted to Stefan (Paul Wesley), a handsome transfer student with a mysterious air. Of course, Stefan is a centuries-old vampire who refuses to feed on humans and has returned to his hometown for Elena, who is the splitting image of his lost love Katherine. His pursuit is complicated, however, by the arrival of his evil brother Damon (Somerhalder), who has been feeding on townspeople and taunting Stefan about his “vegetarian” status.”

Catch The Vampire Diaries Thursdays at 8/7c on The CW.

Radha Mitchell loves her guns.

She told superherohype.com, “I want a character who is gun-toting. I never get to do it and whenever it’s there I just have this desire to have guns.”

Surprised by her response, the interviewer reminded her that she’s a vegetarian.

“Yeah. (laughs) I just like the precision. I just like the style of it, really. It’s so kind of iconic. I guess that’s why it’s interesting.”

Hey, no one said Radha liked using guns to hunt.

Radha’s latest film Surrogates, based on a comic book series involving humans communicating with each other through robots or “surrogates,” is set to be released September 25.

Bored To Death premiered last night on HBO starring vegan Jason Schwartzman, who plays a pot smoking, drinking guy who ruminates too much about the sad parts of his life.

Schwartzman co-wrote Bored To Death, which is probably why there are so many vegan references in the television series.

Schwartzman’s character, Jonathan Ames, calls himself a non-practicing vegan and hooks up with a “radical vegan” helicopter mom (Parker Posey) in one episode, who sends him on a mission to recover her son’s skateboard from a group of bad street kids.

Here’s a clip from episode 2 of Bored To Death above.
