Vegetarian Star

Harold and Kumar fans, be on the lookout for another film from the duo, A Very Harold and Kumar Christmas.

Vegetarian actor Kal Penn and co-star John Cho will begin filming early next year according to Entertainment Weekly. The film is set for release in November 2010.

By that time, Kal will have completed his White House stint as associate director in the White House Office of Public Liaison (OPL).

If you recall, in the first installment of the Harold and Kumar movies,  Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, when Harold and Kumar finally made it to the big castle, they gorged on little burgers.

The crew had some specially made vegetarian burgers for Kal, who played Kumar, to pig out on during the scene.

Kal is vegetarian for religious, ethical, and cultural reasons.

If you rocked out with Def Leppard in the 80s (and still rock out on the karaoke machine during the weekends), regardless of how much much your children make fun of you, don’t feel bad!

Guitarist Phil Collen is 51, still rockin’ hard, and the picture of perfect health. Just tell the kids they better hope they look this good at half a century.

When Collen was asked jokingly asked during an interview if there was a law against being a hard rock guitar player and vegetarian, Collen answered:

“I’ve felt weird about eating meat since I was a kid. I’m a picture of health at 51. I hardly eat any kind of food. I’m a vegan. You don’t need meat to survive. It’s a pleasure thing.”

Not to mention there are more faux pleasure meats than groupies lined up in the refrigerator or freezer section of the grocery store.

Rock on, Phil. Rock on man!

So there’s a new show out called Breaking Bread.

It’s a 12-episode series where celebrities get together and chill and talk about their favorite causes.

On a recent episode, the favorite cause of the week was…you guessed it-veganism!

The vegan episode was hosted by Choe Jo Berman, blogger at GirlieGirlArmy.com and was packed with Hollywood glam like Meredith Salenger, Corey and Susie Feldman, Persia White, John Joseph, Mickey Madden, Emily Deschanel, Marilu Henner, Mariel Hemmingway, Gene Baur, Victoria Moran, Rory Freedman and Laban Pheidias.

The show is apparently so hot, things have to cool down before an air date can be set. When we find out more, we’ll let you know!

You already know the guys of Rise Against are vegetarian and big time animal rights supporters. That’s why they’re encouraging people to petition the Canadian government and Olympics committee to stop steal hunting.

But did you also know every one of the guys, with the exception of drummer Brandon Barnes, are straight-edge, which is a lifestyle marked by abstaining from many things, including alcohol.

Their latest tour kicks off in Canada this summer, where they’ll have bands like Rancid and Billy Talent opening for them.

From now until June 7, you need to get your tails down to Sirani Gallery on Forbes Avenue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The lovely works of Peter Max are on display there, including his 44 Obama paintings and a total of 180 mostly unique works.

That’s a lot of numbers!

What kind of man has the energy to paint 44 pictures of President Obama? Max credits his endurance to yoga and a vegetarian diet and says he feels like a college kid again.

“I feel like I’m 22 years old,” Max said. “I have 100 people who work for me. I’m involved in animal rights. My wife and I are involved helping hundreds of organizations.”

He may feel like a newbie, but one thing’s for sure: Max is earning way more money that most young, starving artists.

Elizabeth Berkley and Pamela Anderson are two of PETA’s most prized celebrity activists.

Whether it be chasing another celebrity to educate them on meat eating or casually dropping a business card at restaurants telling them to put more vegetarian items on the menu, these ladies are more than Hollywood pretty faces.

And they both look great in leaf lettuce. What a coincidence!

So between the two vegetarian actresses, who would you rather do…

“Children have a natural empathy with animals. They carry around a teddy bear and are taught to love animals. All those fairy tales have animals in them. Then kids are taught to accept their exploitation and death. I do think people try to do the best they can, but they get hit by mixed messages from every direction. They get confused and need to learn.”

—-Singer and songwriter Nellie McKay, in an interview with popmatters.com. 

Talk about mixed messages…Kids grow up with cats and dogs as pets and cows and chickens as food. No wonder the adolescents of today are so angst ridden!
