“Water For Elephants” Harmed No Elephants (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, April 29th, 2011 in Animal Issues, Film & TV, Videos.

Water for Elephants is a film starring Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon about a young veterinary student named Jacob Jankowski who joins a traveling circus to care for the animals. Although he loves all the animals, there is one in particular, an elephant named Rosie, that attracts his attention the most.

“Elephants are the most sophisticated, gentle creatures you could possibly hope to work with,” Pattinson said.

Scenes in movie depict elephants covered in blood and suffering from bruises and injuries. But the American Humane Association had monitors on the set and have given the film their trademarked certification of “No Animals Were Harmed” in the making.

Robert Pattinson Adopts Homeless Dog. Team Edward: 1. Team Jacob: 0

Robert Pattinson

A Cullen vampire adopting a descendant of wolves?

What would Jacob and his relatives think?!

Robert Pattinson has elevated his guy hunk/animal lover/hot dude status among women by adopting a homeless dog from a shelter that’s so overrun with strays, it has to euthanize faster than the Volturi show up when stupid vampires make a scene and risk everyone’s identities.

“It’s from a shelter and he was going to be put down,” Pattinson told the Daily Record. “I only got him two or three days ago and they only keep them for 10 days.”

The shelter is located in Louisiana, where Pattinson has been filming the final movie in the Twilight series, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn.

The dog is sure to keep Pattinson company while he’s away filming. And although it’s hard to believe, it is the only mammal that wants to see him while he’s shooting at a remote location.

Who Would You: Edward Cullen Or Stefan Salvatore

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009 in Actors, Polls/Surveys, Who Would You.

Edward Cullen and Stefan Salvatore are “vegetarian vampires” in The Twilight Saga and The Vampire Diaries, meaning both refuse to feast on humans.

Now, if only we could get some vegetarian vampires that don’t eat animals as well.

Between the two “vegetarian vampires” played by Robert Pattinson and Paul Wesley, who would you rather…

Robert Pattinson Can Bite PETA’s Microwave Vegan Cookbook

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, April 6th, 2009 in Actors, Recipes, Videos.

2009 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Graydon Carter - Arrivals

The microwave has come a long way. It’s hard to imagine anyone not using one.

But Robert Pattinson has a fairly new relationship with the microwave and the passion between the two is more steamy than removing the plastic film from the frozen dinner tray after it’s cooked.

Pattinson recently mentioned in an interview with GQ that he’s never owned a microwave until he moved to LA. Now that he’s got one, his desires are in overdrive and he’s always looking for new things to nuke.

PETA caught wind of this and are sending him their very own cookbook,  PETA’s Vegan College Cookbook: 275 Easy, Cheap, and Delicious Recipes to Keep You Vegan at School

The cookbook doesn’t officially come out until May. But here’s a lovely infomercial that’ll have you whipping out your credit card at 3:00 AM after watching the one for the Time Life 80s collection.

Now, Rob should have no problem finding something to pop in the box every night. With recipes like Fake Blondes, Pimp My Ramen Noodles, Butt Ugly Sticky Blonds, and Campus Streaker Sausage Dip, we expect Rob and the microwave to be going strong for a while.

Earlier we showed you the video of Paramore’s Hayley Williams and Twilight’s Robert Pattinson talking about veggie burgers, and Robert was taken aback when Hayley mentioned “Gardenburger.”

We wondered if Hayley was veg…

One really cool reader, Allie gave us a tip (thanks) on a video showing the Paramore band eating cheeseburgers, including Hayley. Another really cool reader, Chuck, mentioned that a Gardenburger with cheese looks like a real burger.

So you be the judge. Is Hayley eating the regular cow or is she chowing down on veggie goodness?

The band could very well be at a burger joint that offers the veggie variety, as many do.

What do you think? Speak now or she’ll forever remain in carnivore limbo!

Not long ago, we told you about Twilight’s Robert Pattinson mentioning he had a conversation about veggie burgers with Hayley Williams from Paramore.

Rob was taken aback by the name “Garden Burger” because he thought it sounded like a burger growing in the dirt.

Here’s the video of Rob and Hayley talking about Twilight. Hayley brings up Gardenburgers around minute 3:45.

The cool thing about it is that Hayley was surprised when she thought Rob didn’t like veggie burgers. Does that mean Hayley’s got a box of Gardenburgers in the freezer?

Robert Pattinson: Some Veggie Burgers Grow In The Garden

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, March 23rd, 2009 in Actors.

Twilight Press Conference

Hey all you vegetarian vampire fans. The Twilight DVD has recently come out and if you have what they call OCD, or “Obsessive Cullen Disorder,” you’ll be checking out the DVD’s extras, such as the watching the movie with commentary by Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and director Catherine Hardwicke.

During such commentary, the group starts talking about the shot where Bella is eating a vegetarian burger at the diner with her dad. Rob mentions he was talking about veggie burgers with Hayley Williams, singer from the band Paramore, that has a couple of songs on the soundtrack.

Hayley mentioned Gardenburgers, and Rob says he’d never heard of a veggie burger being called a “garden burger.”

Director Catherine Hardwicke says that a “garden burger” is a little more elegant way of saying veggie burger. To which Rob replies, “I think a veggie burger is much nicer. It sounds much more appealing. Garden burger sounds like something you found in the garden.”

Aw, did Rob just diss Gardenburgers without even knowing it?

If you know Gardenburger, you know they have a plethora of veggie patties, from Flamed-Grilled to Black Bean Chipotle to Garden Vegan. And you know they don’t taste like dirt!

We’ll have to educate Rob on Gardenburgers some day.
