Rob Schneider Does The Veggie Bean And Weenies?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, March 11th, 2009 in Actors, Comedians, Food & Drink.

Is Rob Schneider a vegetarian?

The comedian and actor has had starring roles in Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo and The Hot Chick and has been a veteran on Saturday Night Live.

A question on RobSchneider.com asked, “If you were to be a spokesperson for a new Hormel food product what would it be for?”

Rob’s answer was, “Vegetarian bean and weenie pockets.” 

Does Rob do veggie? Or does he just like vegetarian products?

If he is veg, and knew about all the alleged Hormel sins, maybe he would have picked another company.

Ricky Gervais Wants His Roast Without A Rump

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, January 24th, 2009 in Comedians, Food & Drink.

The 66th Annual Golden Globe Awards - Press Room

British comedian Ricky Gervais is experiencing the issues many have after learning the truth of how food gets from the animal to their plate.

Lately Gervais has been struggling with the morality of meat and it has affected his diet.

He says he’s “nearly vegetarian” and doesn’t want to see any meat that looks like it used to be an animal, according to Calorielab.

Still, he gives into Christmas roast and cocktail sausages wrapped in bacon, which apparently don’t have any faces or tails on them, thus relieving his consciousness.

Seriously though, Ricky’s problem further highlights the fact that many people are dissociated from their food on many levels, from the fact that it did come from an animal to how the animal was treated before slaughter.

And maybe it’s further proof that everyone should be forced to watch the gory videos of factory farms and slaughterhouses.

They do generate discussion and thought.

Stephen Colbert Pokes Fun Of PETA’s Sea Kittens Campaign

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, January 18th, 2009 in Actors, Comedians, Not So Vegetarian, TV Hosts, Videos.

Stephen Colbert thought it would be fun to satirized PETA’s Save The Sea Kittens Campaign, and gave a “Tip of the Hat” piece of advice to the animal rights group. 

“Save The Sea Kittens” is designed to get people to stop eating seafood by making fish seem as cute, adorable, and intelligent as cats.

Colbert admits that normally he’s not a fan of PETA because if “scientists can’t squirt shampoo into a rabbit’s eyes, then how would I know what shampoo to squirt into my rabbit’s eyes,” he sarcastically said.

Stephen decides to rename other animals with vegetarian names so that they’ll seem more acceptable to eat, including calling cats “landfish,” cows “field potatoes,” and owls “sky nachos.”

The “Tip of the Hat” starts after a minute and a half into the video.

Safe to say he’s not buying into the campaign. Bet Jeremy Piven is, though.

Margaret Cho Says Watch Out For Hungry Vegans

Radar & VH1 Host A Screening Of Margaret Cho's

“And especially, especially, don`t f*ck with vegans. Do not look vegans in the eye. If you get into an argument with a vegan, say “I`m wrong”, and run away as fast as you can. Do not f*ck with vegans because they will f*ck you up… BECAUSE THEY`RE HUNGRY.”

Ha, haaaaa, Cho! Looks like Margaret thinks vegans are starving themselves, eating only sprouts and drinking  juice all day.

Someone send her the top veggie restaurant list, will ya. Let her know what’s really on our plates. And tell her we’re not hungry. She’ll believe it. Then run away from you really fast.

Sandra Bernhard Likes Vegan Shrimp At Lotus Something

The Cinema Society & Dior Beauty Host A Special Screening Of

The advantage of living in L.A. (besides all those great celebrity sightings) is that you can walk a block or two from pretty much anywhere and get good vegetarian/vegan grub.

Plus the restaurants have plenty of endorsements from celebrities, like Pamela Anderson. If ethnic cuisine is your preference, L.A. won’t leave you veg hangin’. And if you stop by Real Food Daily, you have a good chance of running into Tobey Maguire.

Sandra Bernhard says she likes to go a new vegan Thai restaurant near her home in L.A. But she can’t remember the name.

“It’s called Lotus something,” she told LA Weekly. “They have these vegan shrimp.”

Could she have meant Lotus Vegan?

If you do happen to be at an L.A. vegan restaurant, look for Sandra and her red vegan shoes and you’ll know your in a good place.

Sandra Bernhard knows how to get her vegan footy on!

During a chat with Graham Norton and Alan Cumming, Sandra immediately mentions that she’s wearing a pair of Stella McCartney’s vegan shoes.

The vegetarian actress and comedian has been making people laugh since the 1970s.

An interesting point is brought up during the conversation that Stella’s vegan shoe shop is located in a meat-packing district. Ha! What a way to make a statement.

They’re red, they’re flashy, but best of all, they’re cruelty-free. There’s a close-up of Sandra’s feet if you watch the video.

For some adult humor, be sure to check out Sandra’s shirt to see how she views a particular president.

Meatless Mouthful: Bill Maher On Presidential Turkey Pardoning

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, October 21st, 2008 in Comedians, Meatless Mouthful, TV Hosts.

Los Angeles Confidential

“I ask you to do what I’m going to do and pardon a turkey this Thanksgiving. It’s not hard. Just eat something else (ideas here and here). Not someone else, because it doesn’t seem fair to spare a turkey and roast a hunk of pig or cow instead. If we can bow our heads in gratitude for our families, our friends and our big screen TVs, and then carve into a creature who lived a miserable life and died a horrible death, then our ethics are about as sensible as Britney’s parenting skills.”

—-Bill Maher, in an article that appeared in the Huffington Post last Thanksgiving season, asking President George W. Bush to pardon all turkeys. November’s just around the corner and it’s time to start thinking about what Tofurky, Seitan Turkey, or maybe even vegan mac and cheese (if you’re a college student not going home for the holidays) you’ll be enjoying this Holiday. Whatever meatless faux bird you choose, feel good in knowing that you’re giving turkeys across the nation a reason to be thankful.
