I’ve been asked by a few of you to post this, although I’ve already done 2 Nicole Richie posts today! (Sorry in advance to all the people on Nicole Richie overload).

This is supposedly an invitation that Nicole Richie sent out to her friends for a Memorial Day party that her and Mischa Barton were throwing together. I’m not even going to speculate whether or not this was a joke on her part, or if this entire thing was fabricated, because it’s pretty obvious. Mischa Barton and most of the other celebrities who attended the party weigh over 100 pounds, after all.

Publicity. Publicity. Publicity. Can I say it one more time? Publicity.

Soul singer Aretha Franklin has jumped on the Jenny Craig bandwagon in order to lose some weight before her wedding next month.

She eats 1,750 calories and smaller meals on the plan but says she is still really hungry.

“I’m at 1,750 calories a day and I’m starving. You just have to get used to portions and changing your lifestyle.”

The heavyweight diva, who will wed long-term boyfriend Willie Wilkerson Jr. next month, insists she knows the Jenny Craig diet works - because she has seen amazing results in the past.

1,750 seems like a lot of calories to some of you, but when you’ve been eating more than double that, you can certainly lose some weight at that amount.

Maybe we’ll get to see some before and after photos next month.

Former model Heather Mills - who is already a vegetarian - has decided to go one step further and become a vegan. In case you don’t know, vegans do not eat any animal products whatsoever - including dairy, eggs, meat, etc. They also do not use any products or wear any clothing made from animals.

One reason that Heather made her decision is because she discovered exactly what farming methods do to our environment. This is not surprising since environmental issues are becoming a very hot topic these days.

Also, she feels that milk production is a form of animal cruelty:

She added: “It is the obscenity of taking newborn calves away from their mothers so we can have their milk - a product designed by evolution for little cows, not little people, or big people for that matter.

“I could never go back to eating meat, fish or dairy. I hate the cruelty of factory farming.”

Good for her for having the courage to make such a drastic step in her diet. I’ve personally known a few vegans in my time and they all seemed pretty healthy.

Is this true? Somehow I’m doubting it. Nobody else has officially reported the story, and the National Enquirer is known for being wrong about 70% of the time.

What do you all think?
