Vegetarian Star

Heroes’ star Milo Ventimiglia made a joke about being vegetarian since in the womb because his mother was vegetarian while carrying him and he’s always been veg.

But if Corey Feldman and wife Susie’s kid decides to work in Hollywood, he might give Milo a run for his money as being a vegetarian star since in utero.

Four year old Zen is vegetarian and has lived without meat “from conception,” as Corey calls it.

The actor, who says he spends 80% of his time doing charity work, likes to boast about how he convinced wife Susie to go veg.

So there’s a new show out called Breaking Bread.

It’s a 12-episode series where celebrities get together and chill and talk about their favorite causes.

On a recent episode, the favorite cause of the week was…you guessed it-veganism!

The vegan episode was hosted by Choe Jo Berman, blogger at GirlieGirlArmy.com and was packed with Hollywood glam like Meredith Salenger, Corey and Susie Feldman, Persia White, John Joseph, Mickey Madden, Emily Deschanel, Marilu Henner, Mariel Hemmingway, Gene Baur, Victoria Moran, Rory Freedman and Laban Pheidias.

The show is apparently so hot, things have to cool down before an air date can be set. When we find out more, we’ll let you know!

If you live near the Orange County area and are an animal lover, you may get to schmooze with Corey Feldman and his wife Susan this weekend.

The couple is expected to host the Orange County People For Animals Annual Fund Raiser this Saturday evening at 6:30 p.m. at the Goddess Temple of Orange County, 17905 Sky Park Circle, Suite A, Irvine.

The Feldmans have been longtime vegetarian and animal activists and starred in quite a sexy photo ad, Give Peas A Chance, that mimicked one John Lennon and Yoko Ono did years ago. 

The event will feature a vegan potluck buffet, beverages, silent auction, raffles, goodie bags and a chance to sign pre-written action letters covering local, national and international issues. 

If  you’d like to attend or get information, email the Orange County People For Animals or visit their website.

Actor Corey Feldman has some genes that make him love animals, as his mother was an animal rights advocate. Good for him for having such a compassionate mother, because grandma and grandpa thought vegetarianism was just plain tipesh!

Note: Hebrew vocab 101. Tipesh is the word for dumb, idiot, stupid…you get the point.

From an interview with Look To The Stars.org:

“By the time I was 10 years old, I was resigned to the fact the I wanted to be a vegetarian for the rest of my life. However, growing up in a strict family environment, my grandparents where old Jewish traditional type people and thought I was crazy for wanting to be a vegetarian. It took until I was about 13 years old when I made the decision to be a strict vegetarian… and have been every since, and it’s been about 24 years for me now.”

Growing up, Feldman and his mother had as many as 50 animals living with them on their ranch as a result of their obsessive dog and cat rescuing tendencies.

Nowadays, Corey lists animal rights organizations such as the Humane Society, PETA, Farm Sanctuary, and Last Chance For Animals as his top choice for charities.

So there are different beliefs on what constitutes being a vegetarian or vegan. Obviously, eating a hamburger makes you no sort of vegetarian, but can you be a true vegan and still have honey? And does wearing leather shoes make you a hypocrite?

Corey Feldman doesn’t think so and is fed up with media being critical when he does so. Especially when he didn’t buy the item he’s being criticized for.

“People always want to point a finger at you,” he said, in an interview with Ecorazzi. “You know I did this show years back called “The Surreal Life” and the number one thing was people giving me shit all the time because of some edited scene where I’m fighting with Gabrielle Carteris saying, “Oh well you’re wearing leather shoes,” and they never got my argument into it.”

“…if somebody gives you a pair of shoes, say for Christmas, what are you gonna do throw them in the trash because they’re leather? No, you have to honor that animal that died for it. But I’m not going to purchase it.”

Actually, that does sound reasonable. Even PETA donates fur coats to the needy, because it makes “the best of an awful situation,” after those who bought the fur decide it’s no longer ethical to wear it.

Actress Daryl Hannah has stated she only wears leather when it’s a gift, after being questioned about a pair of suede shoes she was wearing.

Moral dilemmas never have easy solutions. How do you or would you handle one like this? Do you wear wool or leather if given to you? Do you pass it along to charity? Let us know, and help everyone else make a better decision as well.

Farm Sanctuary, an organization created to combat issues of animal abuse on farms,  will be holding a benefit on December 4th, 2008 at the Art Director’s Club in New York City.

“Winter Wonderland,” will feature gourmet food from NYC’s best vegetarian restaurants, a silent auction, and of course, celebrities to mingle with, like Corey Feldman.

Sure hope he’s wearing more than what he was in the Give Peas a Chance ad, which played upon one John Lennon and Yoko Ono did years ago. New York’s a little cold in December for that, Corey.

Other notables you might get to rub elbows with are Jennifer Coolidge, Peter Max, Patrick McDonnell, Tatum O’Neal,
Daniela Sea, Ally Sheedy, Princess Superstar, Loretta Swit, and
Justin Theroux.

General admission tickets are $100, so if you’re a young, freshly graduated from college adult or pinching pennies, put some back from your paycheck you got TODAY. It’s for a great cause and will put you in the mood for the season.

And who knows? Corey might not be wearing much after all.

A few excerpts from Corey Feldman’s interview with Blockbuster Buzz  about Lost Boys 2. If you haven’t already seen his new ad with wife Susie Feldman…we’ll let you take a look and find out for yourself.

Quite a few people have commented on how you’ve hardly aged since the Eighties. Are you in fact a vampire?
Yes I am. (long pause..then laughter) People are always assuming I have Botox or surgery or something but I just don’t believe in the ageing process. I don’t drink alcohol, I’m a vegetarian and I think all that helps.

Was Corey Haim’s cameo planned to be a much larger part at some point?
Well, initially he wasn’t set to be in the movie at all. I really pushed for him to be included and at one point we were scheduled to shoot I think 3 scenes with him. Then there were some breakdowns and problems with the shoot, and Warners effectively restructured the deal after it was agreed so he just ended up doing this little cameo.

There’s a lot of talk about a third Lost Boys film – Just natural excitement or is something going to happen?
Well, I don’t know – The studio are very happy with the response to Lost Boys 2 and it’s being talked about a lot but there’s nothing certain…yet!

If sexiness sells, then pea farmers should be millionaires soon. Corey Feldman, star of The Two Coreys, and his model wife, Susie Feldman, are starring in a new PETA ad, “Give Peas A Chance.”

The ad mimics the image created by John Lennon and Yoko Ono created years ago, with “Give Peace A Chance,” being the slogan.

“Susie and I choose the vegetarian way of life because for us, there really is no other choice. We must evolve as a race and as a planet, and evolution includes learning and changing from our mistakes. We will never truly grow until we as a whole come to the realization that all beings on this earth should be treated with love and respect.”

The ad will start running July 18th.
