Jason Schwartzman: A “Bored To Death” Non Practicing Vegan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, September 18th, 2009 in Film & TV, Food & Drink.

HBOs Bored To Death Premiere

There’s a new HBO comedy starring Jason Schwartzman that’s sure to keep you laughing so hard on Sunday night, you’ll forget tomorrow’s a work day.

Bored To Death features Schwartzman playing a character named Jonathan who’s girlfriend has just moved out because Jason was less than the ideal man.

“My girlfriend broke up with me because she says I smoke too much pot and drink too much white wine. But she’s right! How can you love someone if you’re in a fog all the time?”

Jonathan is also vegan-but is currently not attending services regularly.

“You know, we really should all be vegans,” Schwartman says in one episode. “I’m kind of a nonpracticing vegan.”

In real life Schwartzman loves to devour vegan cupcakes from BabyCakes bakery in NYC.

As owner Erin McKenna told us, “The first time a celebrity made it known how fond he was of BabyCakes was Jason Schwartzman. He came in once by himself the first time and then brought a whole gang of friends with him and had an eating contest in here. He was going crazy over everything–it was really fun!”

Catch the Bored to Death premiere this Sunday, September 20 at 9PM on HBO.

Legally Blonde

Legally Blonde fans put your Broadway shoes on.

Legally Blonde is currently touring the country with performance dates going through Spring of 2010.

If you remember the Reese Witherspoon goes to law school comedy, you remember her Paris Hilton-like handbag dog sidekick, Bruiser.

And the fact that Elle and Bruiser are both “Gemini Vegetarians.”

You don’t have to make a perfect score on the LSAT to know vegetarian dog food is available for your little Bruiser, Tito, or Max.

Vegan dog foods like V-Dog are available to pet owners interested in filling their pup with high protein plant based alternatives.

Because for some of man’s best friends, meat is totally optional.

Bet Bruiser wished those pink outfits were optional too.

Jeremy Piven Learned “The Sweet Truth” From Kelly Keough

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, September 17th, 2009 in Actors, Chefs, Film & TV, Food & Drink.

23rd Annual Nautica Malibu Triathalon

Jeremy Piven received a sugar free, gluten free and dairy free birthday cake while on the set of Entourage from chef Kelly Keough.

Yeah, the former mercury poisoning bedfellow was probably disappointed the cake was fish-free as well.

But the event led to an increase in Keough’s sales and she has her own cooking show on the Veria channel called The Sweet Truth.

Kelly is also the author of Sugar-Free Gluten-Free Baking and Desserts.

Defendor Screening - TIFF 2009

We briefly touched on the fact that Woody Harrelson turned Zombieland into a more environmentally friendly set during its shooting.

Now we’re learning more details on how Woody used his vegan eco powers to make the set a little greener.

Director Ruben Fleischer, who Woody convinced to eat veg during the filming, has revealed to WENN:

“He practices what he preaches and made us all aware. I’m far healthier since knowing him. He’s very persuasive.”

“He eats raw food and vegan items, so he had a chef making delicious things for him every day that he shared with me and the rest of the cast that was healthy and delicious.”

“One of the requirements for him doing the film was that we have a green set as much as possible. All the silverware was metal that could be washed and reused, as opposed to just thrown away.”

“If we did use plates or cups or glasses it was all biodegradable. We didn’t use plastic. Instead of having plastic water bottles, which he sees as a huge environmental threat, we had big coolers and everybody on the set got their own jug that they could refill.”

Wonder if Fleischer and the cast continued the veg and green efforts once the shooting wrapped up.

Tweet the Giraffe From “The Zookeeper” Dies Days After Filming

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 16th, 2009 in Animal Issues, Film & TV.

Lions On Show Ahead Of London Zoos Late Night Event

A giraffe that took part in filming the comedy The Zookeeper has died just days after wrapping up its final shoot.

Tweet, an 18-year old male giraffe that had also been on the sets of Ace Ventura, Evan Almighty, and Toys R Us ads, collapsed while being fed in his pen last week.

Giraffes can live well into their late 20s.

“It’s an outrage,” said Lisa Wathne, a spokeswoman for PETA. “I don’t think anyone should be surprised.”

PETA had sent a letter to several stars of the film, urging the show to use animation and special effects versus bringing in animals from a supply company, Birds and Animals Unlimited, that had known USDA violations.

This comedy doesn’t have a happy ending at all.

Death Cab For Cutie will have a song on the New Moon soundtrack called Meet Me On The Equinox.

Isabel Lucas Backs Out Like A Baby From “Rights Revoked”

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 15th, 2009 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Film & TV.

The Cove Special New York Screening

Isabel Lucas has pulled out of an animal rights documentary titled Rights Revoked, after not being able to get along with her co-star Elissa Sursara.

Wow.

It’s like save the whales, but you can’t use my markers to make your poster.

According to bscreview.com:

“The 24-year-old booming actress cites brewing on-set tensions and personal discomfort for her decision, while Sursara remains on board for the project, something fans of Lucas’ congratulate her for. Said one comment on a News.com.au subsite, ‘I commend Elissa for sticking to her passion for animals and not backing out like a baby.’”

If there’s any reason to get up in the morning to look at someone you don’t like, it’s definitely a higher purpose like animal welfare.

The Transformers star insists she is ensuring the document will be successful, as having many “anger” and “messy emotions” will get in the way of the production.
