"The Dorm Room Diet" Daphne Oz

As part of our “Dorm Room Diet” book giveaway where we bring you a different tip from the book every day, today’s tip is about breakfast.

Every vegetarian should know how to whip up a simple breakfast tofu scramble, but that doesn’t mean they’ll remember to eat it in the 7:30 AM rush in between walking the dog, checking email and work/class. While it’s tempting to grab a sugary muffin or just swish juice down, Daphne Oz suggest you eat your biggest meal for breakfast in “The Dorm Room Diet.”

“I always try to live by the adage: breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dine like a pauper,” she writes, adding this method gives you more time to use the calories.

Shouldn’t be hard to do, considering the several breakfast recipes are included in her book like a breakfast sandwich with black beans and salsa on whole grain bread.

To enter to win, The Dorm Room Diet, simply leave a comment giving your tip for staying healthy.

Comedy Central presented The Roast of David Hasselhoff, where the famous took jabs, made wisecracks and downright humiliated the actor about his life, including some of the more embarrassing moments, like the video that made its way on the Internet of him lying on the floor drunk trying to eat a cheeseburger.

Former Baywatch actress and fellow castmate Pamela Anderson was present and she took the video as the opportunity to state her pro-vegetarian views.

“David, I have to say, when I saw the video of you lying on the floor — drunk, broken down, cheeseburger meat falling from your mouth — I felt so sad. For that cow.”

The video incident caused David to later reveal to the public he was a recovering alcoholic, which Anderson took a shot at as well.

“David took his role on Baywatch very seriously. You know, one time I actually saw him rescue a real person who was drowning. David rescued the man, pulled him ashore, gave him mouth-to-mouth…and, of course, the man immediately died of alcohol poisoning.”

The clip of Anderson’s jokes from the roast can be viewed below.

Renee Olstead and her dog Ella Fitzgerald sat down with Peta2 and discussed vegetarianism, dog fighting and dissecting animals.

Olstead got motivated to go vegetarian on the set of a sitcom where a character’s lines reminded her of what she was actually eating when she sat down for a burger.

“I was on a sitcom when I was about 12. And they had this one line where one of the characters was vegetarian and she said, ‘No thanks, I don’t eat anything with a face.’ And I just turned white. From that moment I suddenly realized that what I was eating was alive and had a mother and breathed; and it suddenly became so appalling.”

The video of the interview with the Secret Life of the American Teenager actress can be viewed below.

Myq Kaplan, the lone vegan on “Last Comic Standing” was the first to be told he was finish during finals night.

Kaplan has made a few vegan jokes here and there during his routines and it probably helped him win points from non vegetarians as he often used the matter to make fun of himself.

His response after learning he wasn’t the winner was thanking fans and telling them, “You should have gotten more phones [for voting].”

Here’s Myq doing a routine where he jokes about ordering food and being a vegetarian. If a duckling is a small duck, you want to steer clear of the “dumplings.”

Caroline Manzo of the Real Housewives of New Jersey recently looked in her backyard to discover a black bear relieving himself.

Her son, Joey, sent out a Tweet expressing his irritation with the trespasser, “Hellloooo bear in front yard” and “For those of u who ask, a bear doesn’t poop in the woods…it prefers my front yard.” However, Joey didn’t stop at that as Caroline told CNN a few nights ago her son was begging her husband to shoot it.

Her husband’s response, according to Caroline, was, “I’m not going to shoot it. It’s a beautiful animal. It’s just hungry.”

Well, technically it was probably full if it had to get rid of something, but…Mr. Manzo is the man of the month!

He realizes what groups like the Humane Society and the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife are trying to get across to the public. Bears and humans can get along.

Sid Lerner is the brain behind the Meatless Monday campaign in the U.S. He was motivated to create the idea after being told by his doctors his cholesterol and blood pressure were over the top. Lerner sees Meatless Monday as a way for everyone to reduce their intake of saturated fat and has worked, through a partnership with the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, to extend the program to 80,000 kids in Baltimore’s school districts.

Lerner also Squeezed the Charmin back in the 60s. No, it’s not a reference for any illicit activity, but a catchy slogan for the toilet paper commercials he created. Watch the commercial above and visit NPR for an audio segment Lerner.

Dating In The Dark is an ABC television reality show modeled after the one originally produced in the Netherlands and was since remade for American, Australian, British, Danish, Finnish, French, and Swedish audiences.

The show gives a whole new meaning to “blind date” as contestants experience their first few dates completely in darkness and are unable to see their potential mates, restricting to touching to, ahem, “assess” one another.

Most recently, Natasha, a swim instructor who’s a vegetarian for ethical reasons tried her hand in love but went home empty.

Most vegetarians looking for love can see an interest before talking to them on the green and vegetarian dating sites we’ve listed before.

Supervegan.com also runs a Date This Vegan feature for vegans in the New York area.

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.
