You can’t go to any news site on the web these days without hearing about the filming of the upcoming sequel to Twilight, New Moon.

Peter Facinelli will be returning to the set to play Dr. Carlisle Cullen and if his preparation is anything like it was for Twilight, he’ll be downing steak like it’s the last cow on earth. Disgusting!

“I started eating a lot more meat than I usually eat,” Facinelli said, when asked by Premier.com if he tried to be vegetarian to get into character for the role of a vegetarian vampire. Remember, these are only pseudo vegetarian vampires, because “vegetarian” to them, just means not eating humans.

“I was just hungry for red meat the whole time. So it kind of had a backwards effect on me, because normally I’m more on the vegetarian side. So with this, I was eating steak all the time.”

Normally on the vegetarian side? So normally, Peter doesn’t eat humans, hahahaha.

While his children with wife Jennie Garth were enjoying tofu stir-fry, he was sinking his fangs into beef.

Hopefully, he’s gotten that out of his system and doesn’t need “re-schooling” to get back into character.

Hey Peter, just pretend your steak is cute little Bella and you’re Edward trying to fight off the urge to give her a big open mouth smooch and swallow.

Jason Mraz Photo Book: A Thousand Things For The Environment

Jason Mraz, the only vegan man who can make avocado and chocolate go good together, has a photography book out, A Thousand Things.

“I just wanted to let people see some of the things I’ve seen,” Mraz told PopEater. “The book contains images I’ve taken all over the world.”

The book not only captures the world, it’s kinder to it as well. From his website:

“This eco-friendly book was printed with soy-based inks on FSC- and ISO-certified woodfree paper. The cover stock is also FSC-certified, fully recyclable, and chlorine free. Environmentally harmless glues were used in the binding process, and all printing films, plates, and waste paper were recycled.”

“I just think it’s necessary to find an alternative solution so we can have less of an impact on our community,” he added.

The photographs were all shot with the nearly extinct Polaroid camera, which allowed Jason to retain his mellow personality, slowing down to capture life in its purest form.

“Digital Cameras are like automatic weapons. You’ll most likely hit your target. The Classic Polaroid Camera is the suction cup dart gun of this advancing age. Thus, my Polaroid hobby invites me to slow down and see more on my walk through life.”

You can view a sample of the photos in Jason’s book, then order a copy for yourself.

Daily-foot

Okay, so their feet look small on stage and this picture is kinda blurry, but this tidbit came from none other than the Macbeth headquarters, so you know it’s gotta be fact.

Switchfoot has been updating their blog, The Daily Foot, with photos of concerts and the boys just chilling out and having fun.

Some of the photos uploaded show the band rocking in Macbeth vegan shoes!

Several musical acts like Tegan and Sara, Frank Iero, and Missy Higgins have used Macbeth’s cruelty free vegan shoes to support their feet while jumping and lunging during concerts.

Including shoes designed by celebrities, Macbeth has quite a selection of vegan footwear.

With so many trendy shoes available without animal products, why would anyone ever want to buy leather?

HBO must be the TV station for veggie hotties.

It’s home to vegan Ginnifer Goodwin’s “Big Love” as well as True Blood ,where vegetarian Anna Paquin stars as a waitress who’s got a biting taste for a vampire (unknown if he’s a vegetarian vampire) played by Stephen Moyer.

Apparently, Stephen can’t get enough blood onscreen because the two are dating in real life.

She and Ginnifer Goodwin are featured in a gallery, The Fit 5: Tips to Feel (and Look) Like a Star, with each celebrity exhibiting some characteristic that can help anyone stay fit.

It’s a no brainer that a veg diet can keep you looking good and healthy, so it’s no surprise two of our favorite veggie gals made the list.

Along with following a meatless diet, Anna is into boxing, plyometrics (exercises including bounding and jumping) and weight work. Perhaps that’s why she’s listed under the “Become a Warrior,” tip for getting in shape.

Ginnifer, who’s an example of “Lighten up your diet,” was quoted as saying, “I don’t eat animal products. So everything is working a little better.”

Browse the entire gallery at People to gain a few other tips for getting and staying fit.

Jennie Garth, Peter Facinelli Kids Like Tofu

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, March 2nd, 2009 in Actresses, Children, Couples, Food & Drink.

Jennie Garth has an urban legend surrounding her much like Clint Eastwood did on his veganess.

The former “Beverly Hills 90210” actress and Dancing With the Stars contestant was recently interviewed by Energy Times, where she acknowledged the rumor, said she “hated eating animals,” but wasn’t a vegetarian.

“No, I’m not a true vegetarian,” she said. “I eat chicken and occasionally fish. I hate eating animals, but I have to get some protein in and the best way for me to do that would be to eat chicken or fish, although my kids eat tofu.”

“I don’t eat red meat.”

Hmm…You’d think that while she was sauteing tofu for the little ones, it’d be easy to fix herself a portion as well.

Heart disease runs rampant in the actress’ family and Jennie herself suffers from a leaky heart valve. While shunning red meat certainly helps her manage risk factors for heart troubles, there are numerous studies that show vegetarian and vegan diets prevent all sorts of diseases, including those that break the heart (physically).

Jennie is married to a “vegetarian vampire.” Her husband is Peter Facinelli, the guy who played Edward Cullen’s father, Dr. Carlisle Cullen, in the vampire movie Twilight.

Wishing Jennie the best in managing her and her family’s health and hoping she has a tofu nugget or two to the replace the chicken ones she usually eats.
