Vegetarian Star

When it comes to the relationship between humans and animals, exotic animals may get the worst end of the deal.

Whether it’s being kept–sometimes illegally–in an unnatural environment as a pet or road show exhibit or on a hit list for the myths it will cure some medical problem, when the exotic animal makes the news, it–unfortunately–usually isn’t for something good.

The pescatarian and musician Henry Rollins will be the host of a National Geographic show that will highlight humans and their interactions with exotic animals, Underworld.

The horror/comedy film Suck, which vegan musician Moby has a role in, has just completed a few days of filming in Toronto.

As we told you earlier, the story is about a loser band that meets a vampire that while changes their fame and make others lust after them, results in their insatiable lust cravings for blood as well.

Since there is so much blood and guts in the film, you might wonder what kinds of props they’re using. Rest assured, Moby’s not down with being covered in real meat.

Suck’s production crew had fake beef created from latex rubber and foam, then dripped in fake blood.

The latex beef will be thrown at Moby’s character, Beef Ballow, lead singer of a band called Secretaries of Steak. Secretaries of Steak is a rival band to the loser band, The Winners, who’s luck improves after meeting the vampire.

Other stars in the film include Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, and Henry Rollins.

Vegetarian vampires are the happening thing these days, and one vegan vampire wants to get his 15 minutes of blood sucking fame before the fad ends.

Moby, a vegan, is set to play the frontman for a band called, “Secretaries of Steak,” (vegan pun, ha, ha, ha) in the upcoming vampire horror/comedy film Suck.

Suck follows the adventures of a band not doing so hot, but still calls itself The Winners. Their luck changes when they happen to meet a vampire (in the real world these same creatures are called agents) who gives them a chance at rock and roll, as well as other kinds of immortality. Of course, there’s the inevitable blood cravings. The Secretaries of Steak are a rival band to the Winners. Get ‘em Moby!

Other notables include meat shunning Henry Rollins, who plays a radio host, Dimitri Coats of the indie band Burning Brides as the vampire, Iggy Pop as music producer, and Alice Cooper as a blood sucking bartender.

Oh, yeah. Can’t wait to watch Moby get his vegan vampire on!

The election countdown has begun. Okay, so maybe, depending on how fanatical you are, you may have been counting weeks ago, but with less than a week remaining until a new Pres is named to take the helm in D.C., everybody’s getting their 2 cents in, including celebrities, during these last days.

Henry Rollins, who’s resume includes singer and songwriter, stand-up comedian, spoken word master, book author, band founder, and publisher put more than a few cents in to Time Out Mag on his political views, including the Republican “wealth trickles down,” theory:

“[Republicans]They like big business, they believe in the trickle-down theory, that we are supposedly going to eat the crumbs that fall from Caesar’s mouth at the big feast. I would argue that they have very good crumb catchers to make sure you get less and less. And so, I think the good sense falls with the Democrats.”

Instead of feasting on crumbs, Rollins stay healthy by juicing and eating a lot of soy protein. “I don’t eat red meat. I don’t eat pork, lamb or chicken,” he said.
