Will Smith New Movie Is Seven Pounds Of Vegetarian Goodies

Will Smith and cast arrive at the premiere of Columbia Pictures' 'Seven Pounds'

Someone involved with the making of Seven Pounds must have a freezer stocked with Boca Burgers.

The movie starring Will Smith, about a man who dramatically changes the lives of seven people, has more vegetarian themes in 1 hour and 58 minutes than you’ll probably see at a granola bar serving hippie fest.

First there’s Ezra Turner, played by Woody Harrelson, who sells frozen steak over the phone, but doesn’t eat his own products. Wonder if any real life meat purveyors follow this rule as well?

Then there’s Rosario Dawson’s character, Emily Posa, who’s not only a vegetarian, but insists her dog be one as well.

Finally, there’s a scene where the word “vegan” is prominently displayed on a hospital chalkboard.

Mere coincidence? Subliminal veggie propaganda? Watch the video below for the scene where Emily explains to Will Smith’s character Ben Thomas her dog is vegetarian. If you can’t view the video, head over to Trailer Addict for other viewing options.

Oprah Winfrey Demands Obama Share Person Of The Year Love

Oprah Winfrey Joins Obama On Campaign Trail

Some have accused Oprah Winfrey of being an attention fiend.

And she does push herself in the spotlight frequently, from her support to certain political candidates to letting everyone know what book she’s cuddling up with instead of Stedman for the week. She has her face on the cover of every one of her magazines, for goodness sake.

But attention fiends can be good, especially if they’re garnishing it for the right reasons. And that’s exactly why the U.S. division of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has chosen her as Person of the Year 2008.

She’s used her power to draw attention to a variety of animal abuse. After following a plea on a billboard in Chicago to do a show on puppy mills, she aired an episode that featured undercover footage of horrible conditions at one located in Pennsylvania. Her audience also got to see the torture that chickens, pigs, and veal calves endure in conventional factory farms.

Earlier this year in April, she dedicated an episode of her show to her late cocker spaniel.

Let’s not forget, she went vegan for 21 days and told the world about it!

Hats off to Oprah. Good thing Time Magazine’s Person of The Year,  Barack Obama, is a slender man. He definitely needs to make room for some other great people in the spotlight.

And you thought it didn’t get any better than a Wii Fit.

The people at PETA have invented entertainment for all the gamers in mind. The online game, PETA’s Holiday Snowball Game, allows you to throw snowballs at fur wearing celebrities, such as Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who are presented as their satirical counterparts-The Trollsen Twins (Hairy-Kate and Trashley Olsen), Madonna, and fashion designer Donna Karan.

You get 10 points for ambushing Madonna, 25 for Donna Karan, and a whopping 50 for taking out Mary-Kate and Ashley with any part of Frosty you’d like. And if you advance to the next levels, take shots at Colonel Sanders and Sarah Palin.

Warning: There are innocent non fur wearing civilians you shouldn’t hit, and if you do, you lose 50 points. They don’t have names, but you could call them “The Pleather People.”

Even better than the family football bowl during the holidays. Let the games begin.

Khloe Kardashian Shows Throwing Red Paint On People Works

Khloe Kardashian Unveils Her PETA

Since Khloe Kardashian showed off her voluptuous figure in defense of the animals, she’s taken some heat from some in the media posting old pictures of her in her fur wearing days. Quick to respond, she wrote on her blog:

“As some of you might have seen today, there are several people who have taken to the web calling me a hypocrite and posting photos of me wearing fur.”

“The reason PETA approached me initially is because in my past I did wear fur and they wanted to educate me on the brutal ways in which animals are skinned for their pelts. After watching their video once, I was so horrified that I immediately swore off fur…”

“I have changed my ways and I hope that many other people will as well.”

Score one for PETA, zero for Kid Rock, who thinks all PETA does is throw paint on “little Hollywood actresses that can’t defend themselves.” We’re pretty sure Khloe got a nice letter from PETA, rather than paint on her coat, though.

Moby Proves Even Douche Bags Get 45 Words Of Fame

Comments Off on Moby Proves Even Douche Bags Get 45 Words Of Fame
The Fifth Annual Art Party Celebrating The Whitney Museum Of American Art

Grab your urban dictionaries, boys and girls. The word for the day is douche bag. And how do you define it? Douche bag= An unattractive or offensive person. Also known as any character vegan singer Moby plays on film.

While discussing his character in the upcoming vampire horror/comedy Suck, he mentioned that he manages to get the same types of roles in movies: the role of the ugly nuisance.

“I’m making a specialty of playing douche bags,” he told Rolling Stone. “I could spend the rest of my career perfecting the douche bag. It’s the journey not the destination.”

He also played a douche bag, as a porn addict in Pittsburgh. It’s never type casting, of course.

The vegan musician’s character “Beef Ballow,” gets only 45 words to say in the film and is assaulted with rubber latex meat while dripping in fake blood made from raspberry syrup. Raspberry syrup… Mmmm, yummy. Makes you suddenly want to be the vampire that sucks on him.

The costume attire was created with him in mind, since he’s vegan and wouldn’t be down with any real USDA approved meat on him. Even his trench coat is synthetic leather.

“I only have 45 words,” Moby said. “But they are 45 important words. Then I get eaten.”

“Being [a] sex symbol is [a] lot of hard work, and requires Spartan discipline. I work out, I don’t go to parties, I do not smoke or drink alcohol, I am Vegetarian and I am asleep by 10pm.”

—-one of the most popular quotes by Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat, whose real name is Reema Lamba.

She’s starred in Indian films such as Khwahish and Murder, for which she won Best Actress at the Zee Cine Awards in the Indian film industry.

She’s not only sexy, but smart too, as she obtained a degree in Indian philosophy from Miranda House, Delhi University.

Based on her description of what it takes to be a sex symbol, a.k.a. living the non-hardcore party life, sounds like all of you straight-edgers are pretty darn sexy!

Vegetarian Gwyneth Paltrow Offers More Animal Flesh Recipes

The UK Premiere of Two Lovers

Gwyneth’s Paltrow’s vegetarianism these days is sort of like describing a prostitute’s puritanical traits. Yeah, there really aren’t many.

To make a long story short, the actress who claims to be “pretty much vegetarian”, has “pretty much” slept with the fur devil and given step by step instructions for making patties out of Tom Turkey these past few months. But she did abstained from ham. Always give credit when it’s due. 

Her latest newsletter from her online site, Goop, features the, cough, cough, vegetarian giving meal hints for the holidays.

“I generally always make the same meal for Christmas as I do for Thanksgiving with a few exceptions…Since you can pull up the Thanksgiving MAKE from the archive if you’re doing Whole Roast Turkey, I thought I would do a delicious Hanukkah menu and a Christmas breakfast.”

“For Hanukkah I love a Whole Roasted Fish with Salsa Verde and with the addition of the Latkes, you get that wonderful crisp potato thing on the side; it’s very satisfying…”

“The biscuits are a healthier version of the good ole’ southern version but are just as tasty. You can scramble an egg, add one of the homemade sausages, stick ’em in the fresh warm biscuit and, to quote a line from the epic eighties film Sixteen Candles, “Wha-lah, breakfast is ready!”

Um, wha-lah, girlfriend, breakfast is soooo not vegetarian ready!

It isn’t so much that we are attacking someone for promoting so much meat (not that we haven’t done that before), but it’s the fact that Gwyneth has associated herself with being vegetarian, yet is choosing to focus on so many meat dishes lately. She could have at least suggested her vegan pancakes with that darn turkey sausage!

Rajneesh Duggal Finds France A Foe When Needing Meatless Food

240_rajneeshMark Ruffalo isn’t the only actor to experience the horrors of finding good vegetarian food while traveling abroad.

Rajneesh Duggal, Bollywood actor who made his debut in the film, 1920, survived on steamed rice and vegetables for five days from a Chinese restaurant located across the street from the hotel he was staying in Paris, France, because he couldn’t find vegetarian food elsewhere.

But that’s nothing compared to his dining in experience with colleagues at an Italian/French cuisine restaurant.

Poor Duggal couldn’t find anything vegetarian on the menu.

“All my friends began ordering non-vegetarian food, while I was busy seeking for some vegetarian food in the menu, but all in vain. I was starving and seeing them enjoying the food made me even more hungry.”

His friends, who no doubt felt sorry for him as they chowed away on their meaty entrees, suggested he find something with eggs or fruit. Finally, after discussing with the waiter his problem, the restaurant chefs had specially made Banana crepes prepared.
