Comedian Carol Leifer And PSA For Veganism

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, July 15th, 2009 in Comedians, Videos.

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.

Carol Leifer Gets Weirder: Now Jewish, Lesbian, AND Vegan

Academy Of Television Arts & Sciences Presents From Stand-Up To Sitcom

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.

Both Andy Dick and Russell Brand aren’t exactly known for their choir boy behaviors. Andy’s had his share of drugs, arrests and was thrown off stage on Jimmy Kimmel Live when he couldn’t stop touching Ivanka Trump.

Russell shares Andy’s drug history, has bragged to the pubic about having relations with more than 80 women in one month and was forced to resigned from the BBC after making prank phone calls to actor Jonathan Sachs’ home, bragging about “shagging” his granddaughter.

That didn’t stop Russell from making the front page of a Vegetarian Starter Kit and Dick’s still up to his antics, dressing as Ronald McDonald and protesting McDonald’s method of killing chickens.

They can’t be that bad, huh? So between the two naughty boys, who would you rather do…

Sandra Bernhard Wishes She Were Vegan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, June 17th, 2009 in Celebrity Tweets, Comedians.

Zac Posen Celebrity Departures - Fashion Week NYC

Sandra Bernhard recently Tweeted about wanting to be vegan, but not being able to cross over to that side.

“i wish i could be a vegan but i just can’t function well on that diet believe me i get it and maybe one day but for now i do the best i can!”

Wonder what’s holding Sandra back?

Sure, veganism takes more thought and planning. It requires seeking more sources of plant protein. You may even have to pop a B Vitamin here and there. But ask any vegan who’s stuck with the lifestyle and they’ll tell you it’s totally worth it to adhere to their beliefs and/or to gain the health benefits of removing dairy and eggs from their diet.

Are you a wannabe vegan who has a few humps to get over? Is it the love of cheese? Cookies and cakes bringing you down? Are you just afraid of “slipping” up every now and then?

Chime in and let everyone know!

And send some encouragement to Sandra @SandraBernhard.

Hope Mark Malkoff Packed Lots Of Vegan Protein Bars On AirTran

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009 in Comedians.

markmalkoff

Comedian and writer Mark Malkoff plans to stay on a plane and fly continuously for 30 days to break the Guinness Book of World Records and conquer his fear of flying.

His goal is not to leave the AirTran plane, so he’ll have to stock up on a month’s worth of meatless goodies, since he’s vegetarian, which ajc.com cited as being one of the potential challenges on his trip.

Malkoff is a writer for Comedy Central’s The Colbert Report. Is he the reason why Stephen Colbert has poked fun of vegetarians in the past? Yeah, probably.

His previous outrageous stunts include attempting to visit all 171 Starbucks stores in Manhattan in 24 hours.

Good thing Mark’s a vegetarian to offset all those emissions, because he sure is making a big carbon footprint with 30 days of flying.

Mark’s blog and videos of the event can be viewed at markonairtran.com.

Sarah Silverman Eats Only Veggie Meatballs?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, May 20th, 2009 in Actresses, Comedians, Food & Drink.

Kevin And Beans April FoolishnessWhen we heard Sarah Silverman left the meatballs off her spaghetti, we cheered even though we didn’t think she was a vegetarian.

Now, some gossip has come in that Sarah has said she doesn’t eat meat and was instructing others how to heat up veggie meatballs.

A reader named Anon left us this tip:

“Sarah’s a vegetarian. She was on cam (on her twitter account) with her friend Steve Agee and confirmed she doesn’t eat meat.”

“Oh, this was while giving a cooking demonstration on how to heat veggie meatballs your mum makes for you, in the microwave.”

She must be rubbing her good food karma on Jimmy Kimmel (we think they’re together, you never know), seeing as he’s been totally putting down pork and other meat eating on his show recently.

We searched Sarah’s Twitter and found some mentioning of Steve Agee and a video channel, but haven’t found the broadcast yet, so we’ll treat this as gossip.

But we’ve got a feeling the news is coming out soon!

Russell Brand To Have Hot, Veggie Date With Lisa Simpson?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, March 24th, 2009 in Actors, Comedians, Pop Culture.

Russell Brand Signs Copies Of Russell Brand: My Booky Wook

Executive producers of The Simpsons, James L Brooks and Al Jean, would like to write comedian and actor Russell Brand in the cartoon show.

Al Jean said Brand was “very funny”, and added, “I would definitely be interested in writing an episode around him.”

In addition to Brand, Brooks and Jean want President Obama too.

We’re thinking Brand could have a date with Lisa Simpson.

After all, they both follow the same diet, and Brand wouldn’t be the first vegetarian celebrity Lisa meets on the show while dodging Homer’s love for lamb chops.

It was the help of Paul and Linda McCartney that helped Lisa maintain her veggie lifestyle in carnivorous loving Springfield.

It’s high time Lisa found herself a veggie mate. We just can’t picture her having dinner every evening with Milhouse.
