“Late Show” Comedian Eddie Brill On Vegan And Laughter Medicine

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, January 10th, 2013 in Comedians, Food & Drink.

Eddie Brill

Dave Letterman‘s warm up comedian Eddie Brill was once a 400 pound, two packs of cigarettes a day smoker facing a multitude of health problems.

He’s since lost over 100 pounds and become a vegan, proving the funny man doesn’t have to be fat, as he hosted a comedy show at NYC’s Gotham Comedy Club, “Laughter and Food is the Best Medicine.”

Actress Emma Stone had Paul McCartney design a matching tattoo for her and her mother to celebrate her mother’s recovery from breast cancer.

While she and Woody Harrelson were at McCartney’s home dining on veggie burgers, Stone asked McCartney to draw a tiny Blackbird, symbolizing the famous McCartney song that’s a favorite by both Emma and her mother.

The Easy A actress, who described the veggie burgers as “so good,” recently appeared on The Late Show and told David Letterman the decision to decorate her body was the first–and probably the last.

“We’ve never gotten tattoos before and probably never will again. Two years ago tomorrow she got diagnosed with breast cancer, and she’s out of the woods now, which is amazing. I wrote a letter to Paul McCartney asking him if he would draw two little bird feet – because he wrote the song – and yesterday he sent them to me.”

Just a reminder that continuing to eat those veggie burgers and soy products, as opposed to animal fat laden real ones, may one day spur your recovery from breast cancer. A study recently published in the Canadian Medical Journal found women who suffered from hormone sensitive cancers and were post-menopausal had a significantly lower risk of breast cancer recurrence if they consumed lots of soy isoflavones.

The clip of Stone with Letterman can be viewed below.

Leona Lewis Stella McCartney Falabella Tote–“The Late Show”

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, December 29th, 2009 in Fashion, Female Singers.

Leona Lewis Does Letterman

If you spot Leona Lewis wearing leather or carrying a similar crafted handbag, you’d better get your eyes checked caused you know vegetarian gal wouldn’t think twice about doing that!

Which is why it’s no surprise Leona was spotted carrying a Stella McCartney ‘s bag while stopping by David Letterman‘s studios for The Late Show.

The Stella McCartney Falabella tote comes with a price tag-$1,145ish, but those with the pocketbooks of stars and the compassion of anyone regardless of their paycheck size, can snag this at stores like Neiman Marcus as a late Christmas present.

Godfather Italian Organic Vodka April 2009: Will It Be Vegan?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, October 8th, 2009 in Business, Food & Drink.

The Godfather

The Godfather

Since there aren’t enough alcoholic beverages on the shelves already, Paramount Licensing Inc. and Iconic Brands Inc. have gotten together to launch a brand of Vodka, The Godfather Italian Organic Vodka, in April 2009.

From businesswire.com:

“We are extremely excited about our alliance with Paramount Licensing,” said Richard DeCicco, chief executive officer of Iconic. “THE GODFATHER brand will add a twist of fun and entertainment to the spirits industry, and we believe it will surely become a fan favorite in the adult lifestyle category.”

Sounds fun and exciting, but there are many questions to be answered, such as those by digitalcity.com, where the writer is interested in both the ingredients and whether or not we’ll be expected to fork over extra if The Godfather Vodka will be imported.

One question that keeps popping up in our minds is whether or not The Godfather Vodka will be veg friendly.

In fact, we’ve asked this so many times, it’s starting to sound like a David Letterman Will It Float? segment.

(singing: Will it be vegan? Will it be vegan? Will it be vegan? Will it be vegan?)

Cause everything that gets your tipsy isn’t, you know.

Some contain dairy products and forbid our vegan drunken sisters from partaking.

Other are refined with fish products that make them unacceptable for even our vegetarian brothers to take to keg parties.

Since the vodka is still in the development phase, might it help to write to either Paramount or Iconic and ask they keep The Godfather veg friendly so everybody can get drunk?

It would be an offer we can’t refuse.

Stephanie Birkitt David Letterman Meaty Scandal

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, October 2nd, 2009 in Food & Drink, Not So Vegetarian, TV Hosts, Videos.

By now you’ve already heard the scandalous story surrounding The Late Show host David Letterman, his affair with personal assistant Stephanie Birkitt, and the extortion fail by Robert “Joe” Halderman.

Since you can get that smut information anywhere else on the web, we thought we’d break to you an even bigger controversy surrounding David and Stephanie.

Stephanie would often hand audience members prizes during some of David’s quizzes like the “Know Your Current Events” featured in the video above, where she can be seen around minute 3:30.

Besides “Know Your Current Events”, Dave also featured Know Your Cuts of Meat, where an audience member was shown a piece of meat and asked to identify it.

Yes, that’s right. Slabs of loin, shoulder, rib and dozens of other parts full of animals that had been passed around and manhandled more than an intern on Capital Hill.

And don’t even get us started on the whoring of those future meat cuts known as factory farm dairy cows who, unlike other pimps, farmers are hoping to knock up so they can get more milk.

“Know Your Cuts of Meat” is definitely not our in our Fave 5 for Letterman skits and we’re hoping in the future audience members can be quizzed (or rather given the answers before the clip so they’ll always get them right) on something like “Know Your 7 Grains in Bread” or “Know Your Completed Protein Pairs.”

Madonna Eats Pizza “The Late Show” David Letterman

Madonna has a slice of pizza at Angelo's after her appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman

It’s cheeseless, looks veggie, but is it vegan?

Madonna got hungry after her appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman, so she stopped by Angelo’s next to the Ed Sullivan theatre in the neighborhood for some thin crust pizza.

It’s hard to tell from the pic if there’s any meat on the slice or not, but it looks like it might be veggie.

If so, Madge must be trying to make up for that 110 pounds of meat she purchased in the Holy Land.

It’s going take a lot of veggie pizzas to get here, Madonna, but we’re confident you can do it.

Jessica Seinfeld Vegetable Plagiarism: Not Guilty

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, September 11th, 2009 in Authors, Books, Food & Drink.

3rd Annual Baby Buggy Bedtime Bash - Red Carpet

Who ever thought you could “get legal” with produce?

A judge has thrown out a case against the wife of comedian Jerry Seinfeld, Jessica Seinfeld, by the author of a kids cookbook.

Missy Chase Lapine had alleged that Jessica’s book, Deceptively Delicious: Secrets to Getting Your Kids Eating Good Food, was so highly similar to Lapine’s The Sneaky Chef: Simple Strategies for Hiding Healthy Foods in Kids’ Favorite Meals, Jessica must be plagiarizing!

“We are pleased that the court saw through this sham and dismissed the baseless copyright claim,” Orin Snyder, attorney for the Seinfelds said.

Jerry had joked about the incident on the The Late Show with David Letterman, calling it “vegetable plagiarism.”

The main differences between Jessica’s and Missy’s book, the U.S. court judge Laura Swain ruled, was that Jessica’s is “bright and cheerful, full of different colors and various patterns,” while Missy’s is “a dry, rather text-heavy work.”

Jessica created the book because she and Jerry have a child that’s a picky eater.

Anne Hathaway at the New York premiere of Valentino: The Last Emperor , held at MOMA

Boo, boo, and triple boo!

We have recently learned that Anne Hathaway, the actress who told David Letterman she was “vaguely vegan,” seems to think being almost vegan means enjoying a hamburger here and there.

During a premier of Valentino: The Last Emperor, Anne explained that her clothing wasn’t fitting as well as usual, due to her burger splurge.

“I’ve been enjoying a couple of post-Oscar burgers. So I didn’t fit into a lot of the vintage stuff. I wanted to wear something that was a little bit more forgiving.”

While we’re hoping that Anne meant she was stuffing her face with veggie burgers, that’s probably not the case.

And just when we thought Anne had broken up with meat for good.
