Vegetarian Star

Alicia Silverstone and Olivia Wilde are two vegan sisters on the screen in the upcoming political satire film Butter, where an inexperienced butter carver upsets the older projected winner.

Alicia plays the adoptive mother of the young inexperienced carver, while Olivia is the stripper meant to distract the champ with her…dairy delights.

Between the two vegan Butter stars, who would you rather…

Alicia Silverstone just finished filming one of the first scenes for her new film Butter, and it seems she may have been type casted–if only for one scene.

As previously mentioned, the film is about the lives of people involved in a butter carving contest, and is meant to poke fun of the 2008 presidential election where a younger, inexperienced candidate upsets the projected winner.

Alicia’s character protested against Red Ribbon, the company that sponsors the butter carving contest and a competitor wants to use the video of her protest against her.

Ah, yes, you knew there would mudslinging in the politics of butter.

“Basically, my husband, who’s played by Rob Corddry, and I foster home this child who’s been passed from home to home and can’t catch a break. We’re the straight people, so we don’t do anything too ridiculous. But at one point, Jennifer Garner’s character tries to use old footage of [my character] at a PETA rally against Red Ribbon, the fictional butter company that sponsors the contest, to bring down me and my child. I got to wear my PETA shirt.”

During the protest, Alicia’s character throws manure at the butter truck.

Wasn’t she the actress that said dairy was nothing but poo anyway?

Actually, that was pus and blood.

Oh, well. Similar cuisine category.

Alicia Silverstone traveled to Shreveport, Louisiana to film Butter, a political satire movie where butter carving is the competition instead of an election.

Shreveport is no New York City, and it’s not as easy for Silverstone to walk around the corner during a break to grab an eggplant wrap with vegan cream cheese.

She told Wall Street Journal that everyone else on the set, vegetarian or not, has similar problems, but having another vegan in the cast, Olivia Wilde, makes it easier on her.

“Everyone here — both people who eat meat and people who don’t eat meat — is struggling with the food because it’s a very different world here in Shreveport; there’s a truckload of salt, and apparently every likes frying things alot. And there’s a lot of cheese involved. But I was prepared, and sussed out the situation before I got here. One really sweet thing is that Jason, the writer of the film, said to me that he was happy I was there…mainly because he knew that meant he was gong to eat well on the days i was on set. [My co-star] Olivia [Wilde] is also a vegan, so there’s a lot of support.”

Two restaurants in Shreveport that are vegetarian friendly are Counter Culture and Earthereal Restaurant and Bakery, both not being exclusively meat free and the latter serving vegan options.

Joining the cast of Butter with Alicia Silverstone will be vegan actress Olivia Wilde.

The film is a political satire of the 2008 Democratic election, in which butter carving is the competition, instead of an election.

Here’s a synopsis from MTV, which includes the roles for Jennifer Garner and Ty Burrell:

“Jennifer is the leading lady Laura — the Hillary Clinton of this scenario who is poised to win the butter-carving competition. Her husband, played by Ty Burrell, is a term-limited butter carving champ who picks up a stripper mistress along the way. While that is developing, Laura finds her plans to win the competition thwarted by a young African American upstart, played by Yara Shahidi.”

Wilde will be playing the stripper who seduces the former butter carving champion.

Previous reports said the Silverstone would play the character of the stripper, but it is now known she will play the adoptive mother of the African American upstart butter carver.

Whether the producers will be using real butter, margarine or something completely inedible isn’t known, but let’s hope if it’s real, they source if from small local farms that treat their cows more kindly, as opposed to alleged conditions uncovered at a Land O’Lakes supplier, which included filthy conditions and downer cows not being treated by veterinarians.

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.
