Comments Off on Thom Yorke To Play “Reckoner” After “Age Of Stupid” Screening
Radiohead‘s Thom Yorke is set to play a live version of the song Reckoner at an undisclosed location on September 21 after the screenings of Age of Stupid take place.
Age of Stupid is a climate change awareness film where a man wakes up in the year 2055 and wonders why the heck no one did anything about climate changes years ago.
Cause it’s like, really, really bad then.
Thom knows not eating meat is a great way to combat climate change, even though when he originally became vegetarian, he just wanted to look cool for some chick, according to animalaid.org.
“A list of things I guess… first thing was Meat is Murder [a song by legendary band The Smiths]. The second thing was getting sick all the time every time I ate meat – getting sick a lot… and the third thing was I started going out with this girl and I wanted to impress her so I pretended I’d been vegetarian all along… and I immediately felt a lot better, a lot healthier. I was concerned, as many people are, about that ‘you’re not going to get all the things you need in your diet, you’re going to get sick all the time’, but the exact opposite happened to me, so I never looked back. It was never a problem straight off.”
Ah, men.
See the power you have, veg ladies?

There’s an eatery called Belles Cafe in Willinston, Vermont that has a sandwich named after Carrie Underwood.
There are two problems with this.
Her name is spelled “Carry” in the sandwich title and it is maheeeatay, as a fan on carriefans.com found out.
“I went to my local deli and bakery called Belles Cafe yesterday with my cousin and we were looking at the menu and she yells “omg I bet you are getting the Carrie Underwood.” i didn’t know what she was talking about so I look up at the menu and they have a sandwich called Carrie Underwood. And then my cousin yells “obviously they didn’t do any research before creating her sandwich.” They spelt her name “Carry” and her sandwich had meat on it. I was mad because I wanted to get it, but being a vegetarian myself I couldn’t. I was still excited though because it was so random.”
Chris Noth, the actor who plays Sarah Jessica Parker‘s (Carrie Bradshaw) husband Big on Sex and the City, took a retreat to Brazil for a wholistic weight loss experience to slim down for Sex and the City 2.
“I went to a place called the Island Experience in Brazil on Ilha Grande. It’s two hours drive from Rio and 40 minutes by boat,” Noth told Usmagazine.com. “It was a total vegetarian diet. Basically, you spend all day doing yoga, hiking, kayaking, eating vegetarian food, no coffee, no alcohol, no meat.”
Awesome!
Great to see an actor promoting a healthy weight loss plan that includes a plant based diet versus pills.
“The 24-year-old booming actress cites brewing on-set tensions and personal discomfort for her decision, while Sursara remains on board for the project, something fans of Lucas’ congratulate her for. Said one comment on a News.com.au subsite, ‘I commend Elissa for sticking to her passion for animals and not backing out like a baby.’”
If there’s any reason to get up in the morning to look at someone you don’t like, it’s definitely a higher purpose like animal welfare.
The Transformers star insists she is ensuring the document will be successful, as having many “anger” and “messy emotions” will get in the way of the production.
“A spy at the Bar Method ballet studio in Los Angeles says, “Zooey is in Belfast with James Franco and Natalie Portman” — filming Your Highness — “but will return at the end of September for her ceremony in Seattle.””
With Zooey and her sister Emily being vegan, and both Ben and his Death Cab For Cutie band mate Chris Walla being vegetarian, you know the reception will be filled with abundant veg food and may even be completely vegan.
Vegetarian and vegan weddings may be harder to plan if you have meat eating guests, but that’s no reason to back down. It’s your day, after all!

Warning: This post gets somewhat graphic. But it’s also hilarious.
In a chat with Jake Gyllenhaal for Interview magazine, vegetarian Natalie Portman revealed she liked listening to dirty hip hop music.
“Really, really obscene hip-hop. I love it so much. It makes me laugh and then it makes me want to dance. Those are like my two favorite things, so combined … I’ve been listening a lot lately to ‘Wait (The Whisper Song)’ by the Ying Yang Twins, where the lyrics are like, ‘Wait ’til you see my dick’—which is just amazing because it’s whispered. [whispers] ‘Wait ’til you see my dick … ’ [laughs] Crazy. So I just listen to it like I’m a five-year-old, like, ‘Oh my god! I can’t believe he just said that!’”
Ghostface Killah of Wu Tang Clan, also a vegetarian heard of this and now is certain he and Natalie should make music together!
“When I read that, it was, like, ‘Oh, [bleep], she would love the [bleep] I got right here on this album!’ It was wild, ‘cause I remember her as the little girl in The Professional, and now she’s all about the wild [bleep].” Killah adds, “Yo, if you see her, give her my number. Tell her we gotta make some music together.”
A collaboration like this could get interesting.
At least the two will able to agree on snack food in the studio.
Lea Michele is hitting all the right notes with this PSA for PETA against horse drawn carriages, Buck Cruelty.
You may recognize Lea from the new Fox hit television show, Glee, but she’s no stranger to acting, as she has several credits on Broadway, including the musical, Spring Awakening.
According to the Coalition To Ban Horse Drawn Carriages, these attractions aren’t good for public or animal safety, and have resulted in both people and horses getting injured.
And horses sustain joint injuries and other medical problems as a result of pounding the street pavement for long hours in adverse weather conditions.
Sounds like a Broadway show no one would want to attend.
