Alison’s character, Christine, is upset during the movie after she learns this could possibly save her soul because she’s a vegetarian and animal lover.
Lohman’s also both veg and owns cats and said that scene, along with a few other situations that occurred during filming, upset her so much it drove her to drinking.
“There’s a scene where the key to ridding myself of this curse may be sacrificing my cat. I guess I don’t have to tell you that no cat was really harmed during filming. But I have three cats at home, and I told Sam, ‘Look, I can’t do this scene because I’m a cat lover. We’re going to have to cut it out.’ And he said, ‘OK.’ Then we were filming and he went, ‘We’ll just try it.’ I can’t believe I went along.”
“It was sometimes unbearable, especially since I’m in almost every scene in the film. I had to have tequila shots every night just to get to sleep. I’m not kidding.”

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?
Method Man is truly a vegetarian metrosexual. Not only does he have good taste in food, he knows how to keep his skin looking pretty.
He and Redman gave some tips for being vegetarian and healthy like filling up on edamame, which according to Method Man, has skin purifying qualities.
Redman lost weight by shunning McDonald’s (which obviously helps in staying the vegetarian course) and Method Man says hit up Whole Foods like it’s the mecca for hot ladies, citing their variety of fake meat crumbles and veggie burger collections.
The guys are sharing the veg secret everywhere, as they even have a veggie reference in one of their songs on their latest album Blackout! Vol. 2.
Activists and longtime veg couple Peter and Mary Max will be hosting the launch of the film, Standardized Testing on Friday, June 19th from 6:30-8:30 PM at the Max Studio at 37 West 65th Street, 7th Floor in New York City.
Standardized Testing follows activist Kelly Overton as he returns to his Alma maters of Harvard, Tulane, Columbia, and UMass in an attempt to return his degrees and get his tuition refunded to bring attention to the controversial medical research being conducted on animals in university labs.
According to the Standardized Testing website, “The film uses scientific and economic data to show how medical research done on animals wastes billions of tax dollars annually, obstructs medical progress and needlessly tortures and kills millions of animals every year.”
Overton is the founder of PATH, People Protecting Animals and Their Habitats. PATH, according to its website, “advocates for the humane treatment of all animals, as well as the conservation and protection of areas that are vital to the survival of endangered or threatened species.”
Tickets for the event may be purchased at ppath.org.
