Vegetarian Star

HBO will kick off a seven-week documentary series on Monday, June 18 at 9 PM ET/PST that examines the complex relationship between humans and dogs, One Nation Under Dog.

We are a nation of dog lovers, with about 43,021,000 households in the U.S. owning at least one. But we also allow several million dogs to be euthanized each year and issues like animal cruelty have not yet become extinct.

Horse are injured and die during races, and the movies are no exception.

A horse was injured on the set of filming the HBO movie, Luck, and was forced to be euthanized because its injuries were deemed to be inoperable according to veterinarians working on the set.

During a race, the horse stumbled and fell on its shoulder, causing a severe fracture.

The movie Luck is about the horse racing industry.

“The pilot is about a bunch of intersecting lives in the world of the horse racing track,” David Milch, creator and executive producer of the show recently told Daily Variety.

Unfortunately, the horse’s death is an unfortunate reality in the world of the horse racing track too.

A study discussed in the New York Times revealed that from about 2003-2005, there were over 3,000 horse deaths related to the racing industry, according to statistics from the Congressional subcommittee by the Association of Racing Commissioners International.

“This was an unfortunate accident that was in no way a result of any mistreatment or negligence on the part of HBO,” said Karen Rosa, vice president of American Humane’s Film & Television Unit. “We are all sincerely saddened by this accident that happened after the final shot on the final day of filming for this show. Throughout filming, HBO has been extremely collaborative and responsive to the many safety guidelines and precautions we put in place.”

HBO‘s Treme aims to portray the city of New Orleans post Katrina in as much accurate detail as possible, including the characters and the events surrounding them.

One of those characters is the real life Kermit Ruffins and his mobile barbecue joint.

HBO’s president of entertainment Sue Naegle visited the set of Treme when scenes involving Ruffins’ barbecue stand were being filmed.

Apparently, New Orleans barbecue is so good, it even entices a vegetarian.

“I’m a vegetarian,” Naegle said. “But that smells really good.”

Hey, no one said a veg never got tempted.

Maybe that’s why Russell Simmons said New Orleans is the most difficult place in the world to be vegan.

Thankfully, Morningstar Farms Hickory Barbecue Riblets have Naegle and any other barbecue loving vegetarian covered.

Treme is expected to begin airing on HBO in 2010.

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.”

Curb Your Enthusiasm and ‘Till Death’s J.B. Smoove says he’s vegetarian-most of the time anyway.

“I’m a 75% vegetarian. My wife has been vegetarian for years,” said Smoove. “We eat a lot of soy products.”

Smoove is also outspoken in environmental issues and hopes to get solar panels for his home.

“But that will have to wait awhile,” he added.
