Vegetarian Star

Last week we told you Carol Leifer had recorded a hilarious PSA for veganism in which she explained that she needed to be in an even more smaller minority group than being Jewish and lesbian-now she’s Jewish, lesbian, and vegan.

Watch the clip to see the author of When You Lie About Your Age, the Terrorists Win say she lost nothing but 20 pounds once she got rid of all the meat, eggs, and dairy from her diet.

Comedian Carol Leifer, author of When You Lie About Your Age, The Terrorists Win, recently became vegan.

She lost 20 pounds in the process and says if you go vegan, both your clothes and animals will thank you.

Leifer also took a moment to show her humorous side, saying “I recently became vegan because I felt that as a Jewish lesbian, I wasn’t part of a small enough minority. So now I’m a Jewish lesbian vegan.”

For awhile she had some company, as Jewish, lesbian comedian Dana Goldberg was at one point a vegan. Now, Goldberg continues to remain vegetarian.

A.J. Jamal on Myspace

If you like to do it old school on Sundays, have we got the story for you.

Anyone remember watching In Living Color? If so, you remember A.J. Jamal, who got his big break after replacing Keenen Ivory Wayans. Jamal now rests his funny bones at Comedy Central. 

Removing potty mouths from the stage, A.J. says he likes to keep his show clean and doesn’t curse at all when he’s not performing. He also keeps his body clean and is a vegan.

“I could have been a hippie,” said Jamal. “I’m one of those spiritual walking beings. I’ve never cursed offstage. I’ve never cursed, never tasted alcohol and been a vegan almost all my life. Never tried drugs. It’s just part of my nature. Now my mama, she cussed up a storm.”

Never cursed offstage? C’mon, A.J. Not even when you order the potato soup and find out the menu leaves off the key ingredient of BACON in it? You just politely tell the staff to bring you something else?

A stronger man than most will be.

Orlando Jones, actor from Madtv and 7Up commercials, isn’t just any vegan. He’s one of those pain in the butt raw vegans.

“I’m like vegan raw so I’m really a pain in the butt about what I eat,” he told Parade Magazine. “I’ve been pursuing it actively for 14 years.”

He’s making his next television appearance as a regular on CBS’ Rules of Engagement and he might be able to offer the cast some tips on a delicious vegan meal now and then, like this tomato pasta soup he recommended:

“Take some tomato soup and season it until it’s perfect for your taste buds. Then add your pasta and cook it Sicilian style in the soup so it doesn’t absorb any water. You don’t need any sauce. That’s what is really fantastic about it. People look for the sauce and you tell them it’s already in there.”

Although he obviously gets in the kitchen regularly, he’s not a big fan of television cooking shows, yet admits Emeril Lagasse makes him laugh because he’s always telling people to add more fat and grease to their food.

“I’m like, ‘Dude, you are just trying to make people explode.’”
