Vegetarian Star

Scott Pilgrim

As reported earlier, the movie adaptation to the Scott Pilgrim comic book series, Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is set for release this year and Universal Pictures has released a few photos from the film.

In both the books and the film, Scott Pilgrim, played by Michael Cera falls in love with a girl only to discover he has to fight off all her seven ex boyfriends.

One of those exes, Todd Ingram, boasts graduating at the top of his class from the Vegan Academy while disparaging non-vegans, saying they use only 10% of their brains while the rest is filled with “curds and whey.”

However, it’s later learned that Todd may not use his brain as much as he claims, as his cheats with dairy.

Take a look at the photo of a real vegan, Jason Schwartzman, who plays Gideon Graves in the movie.

We’ve heard before the Bored To Death star Jason Schwartzman loves Erin McKenna‘s NYC bakery, Babycakes.

Tribecafilm.com recently spoke with Schwartzman who confirmed BabyCakes was still his baby, along with some other New York hot spots.

“Oh, my God! Well, Babycakes is heaven on earth, shall we say? I love the cupcakes and the food and the cookies and, in fact, Babycakes always sends me cookies when it’s the Super Bowl for my guests and stuff, but what I also love about Babycakes is their M.O., like the way Erin McKenna (who owns it) did it—she had a dream and made it come true. It’s really inspiring.”

“So besides Babycakes, my other favorite places are—you know the store Opening Ceremony? What I like about Opening Ceremony is, I don’t particularly look great in all those clothes, but it’s nice because it’s a place where it’s kind of going to like an art house movie theater, where you can just see lots of different movies and see what lots of people are up to and what they’re thinking… I mean, they have very wearable clothes, but they have extremes of all different kinds of things—things that are very forward and very beautiful and great designers that you wouldn’t see in other places. So what I like about it is just going through there and flipping through the clothes and saying, Wow, so this person had this idea to take this color, put it with that color, and stitch it like that…”

“Film Forum is another place, and I like the place teany [a vegan restaurant and tea shop co-owned by Moby, currently closed because of a fire]…. I’d say Babycakes, Opening Ceremony, Other Music, and I like Southside Guitars and Rivington Guitars.”

Jason Schwartzman considers himself an environmentalist, but insists he’s still in awe of Ted Danson‘s eco magic.

“I have solar panels on my house for my pool and I’m a very adamant recycler. I have a Prius. I’ve been a vegetarian for a long time. But I’m not Ted,” Jason told mnn.com about his Bored To Death co-star.

Jason took lessons from Ted about ocean conservation.

“Every little bit helps,” he added.

Jason should give himself more credit just for following the veg life.

According to a UN report, it takes 8,449 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef versus 60 gallons of water required to produce a pound of potatoes, or 108 or 168 gallons of water needed to produce a pound of wheat or corn.

Jason’s helping to save the planet every time he opens his mouth to take a bite!

Erin McKenna, the vegan, gluten-free baking domestic diva has posted a series of videos from her stint on Martha Stewart.

Warning: There is a clip of a huge pile of chocolate cupcakes and if you’re refraining from sugar today, it might send you into relapse.

“For the 11 million people who are allergic-they suffer from food allergies-and the 3 million people with Celiac Disease, your bakery is a godsend. And your recipes, too,” Martha told Erin.

But you don’t have to have allergies or food sensitivities to enjoy Erin goodies that have been gobbled up by celebrities like Jason Schwartzman and Zooey Deschanel.

Watch the clip to see Erin talking about the bakery and visit babycakesnyc.com to see three other videos of Erin demonstrating baking with Martha.

Bored To Death premiered last night on HBO starring vegan Jason Schwartzman, who plays a pot smoking, drinking guy who ruminates too much about the sad parts of his life.

Schwartzman co-wrote Bored To Death, which is probably why there are so many vegan references in the television series.

Schwartzman’s character, Jonathan Ames, calls himself a non-practicing vegan and hooks up with a “radical vegan” helicopter mom (Parker Posey) in one episode, who sends him on a mission to recover her son’s skateboard from a group of bad street kids.

Here’s a clip from episode 2 of Bored To Death above.

There’s a new HBO comedy starring Jason Schwartzman that’s sure to keep you laughing so hard on Sunday night, you’ll forget tomorrow’s a work day.

Bored To Death features Schwartzman playing a character named Jonathan who’s girlfriend has just moved out because Jason was less than the ideal man.

“My girlfriend broke up with me because she says I smoke too much pot and drink too much white wine. But she’s right! How can you love someone if you’re in a fog all the time?”

Jonathan is also vegan-but is currently not attending services regularly.

“You know, we really should all be vegans,” Schwartman says in one episode. “I’m kind of a nonpracticing vegan.”

In real life Schwartzman loves to devour vegan cupcakes from BabyCakes bakery in NYC.

As owner Erin McKenna told us, “The first time a celebrity made it known how fond he was of BabyCakes was Jason Schwartzman. He came in once by himself the first time and then brought a whole gang of friends with him and had an eating contest in here. He was going crazy over everything–it was really fun!”

Catch the Bored to Death premiere this Sunday, September 20 at 9PM on HBO.

As if you really need another reason to enter our contest to win a copy of Erin McKenna’s BabyCakes cookbook as part of our one year anniversary giveaway. Isn’t the picture of the cupcakes on the book cover enough?

The lovely lady who founded the New York city bakery that is so popular among celebrities and mere non Hollywood mortals like ourselves answered a few of our questions about herself, the bakery, and some of her favorite recipes from her recently published cookbook, BabyCakes : Vegan, Gluten-Free, and (Mostly) Sugar-Free Recipes from New York’s Most Talked-About Bakery.

How did you determine which of your recipes to include in the BabyCakes cookbook?
I chose the recipes that people seemed to favor. I wanted to offer a collection of the greatest recipes.

What are a few of your favorite recipes from the cookbook?
I think my favorites are the volcanoes and the macaroons for sure.

You used to work in fashion and you said the one thing that really relieved stress at the end of the day was experimenting with baking and that prompted you to change careers. What advice do you have for aspiring entrepreneurs who may still be stuck in a day job and want to get out and have a successful business?
I would tell them to live fearlessly and go for what is in their heart. It will work out and nothing beats doing what you love for a living. It’s what life is about.

There are several celebrities that have their personal stories in the Baby Cakes cookbook like Natalie Portman and Pamela Anderson? What was either your first or most memorable experience learning a celebrity was so fond of your desserts?
The first time a celebrity made it known how fond he was of BabyCakes was Jason Schwartzman. He came in once by himself the first time and then brought a whole gang of friends with him and had an eating contest in here. He was going crazy over everything–it was really fun!

Guess how many siblings Erin has? Four, five, six, seven? Higher than that! Find out after the jump… (more…)
