Vegetarian Star

Sometimes it’s tough to be a big shot actor. The media shows no mercy. Not to mention how hard it is to find good vegetarian food when you’re shooting a film overseas.

When Mark Ruffalo was filming the comedy, The Brothers Bloom, in Serbia, he found it hard to find good veggie grub, and mainly had to eat what is called a Shopska salad. It doesn’t sound half bad-tomatoes, cucumbers, onion, roasted peppers, and sirene (white brine cheese). But eating that every day could make a brother bloom rather gloom.

“It was really sad for me there,” he told the UK Metro, referring to his lack of vegetarian options.

Not to mention the Cannibalistic Serbs who love to snack on vegetarian actors.

“When I told them I was vegetarian they were like ‘you must be from America because nobody here would ever be vegetarian – we tear you vegetarians to pieces and eat you!'”

Unless of course, you give them an autograph. Then they’ll eat someone else.

Always nice to be welcomed abroad.

Russell Brand isn’t known for his saintly behavior or tact. Some might find it funny, but many find his antics and comments offensive. So when people found out he was on the cover of Peta’s Vegetarian Starter Kit, a flood of phone calls and email were sent to the organization by some who didn’t want him associated with the introduction to a meat-free life.

As if Peta wasn’t contraversial enough already.

The latest offensive act, which is the reason people are protesting his appearance on the kit, involved making an on air prank phone call to the home of actor Andrew Sachs.  The call involved leaving an answering machine message stating he, in words we’ll rephrase to keep us from getting blocked from “safe search,” had sexual relations with Sachs granddaughter. Go here to get the uncut version.

Brand was forced to resign from the BBC “Radio 2” show and issued an apology, but in a sarcastic way:

“I would like to take this opportunity to issue a personal Russell Brand apology to Andrew Sachs, the great comic actor who played Manuel, for a message Jonathan and I left on his answerphone, but it was quite funny.”

But hey, it was a joke right? Besides, they belong to the same club.

“The cover will have him on it because Mr. Sachs, who is also a Peta supporter, has accepted Mr. Brand’s apology, and that’s good enough for us,” said Robbie LeBlanc, Peta’s director.
