2009 White House Correspondents Association DinnerWe joked around on April Fool’s day when we announced the Hell’s Kitchen star Gordon Ramsay had went vegetarian after accidentally electrocuting himself. But this time, it’s for real, if only temporary.

Ramsay has signed up for a vegetarian tour of India and his experiences will be shown as a reality TV show, Gordon’s Great Escape, on UK Channel 4.

From Uknetguide.co.uk:

“Since coming to prominence in the TV guides, the chef has never shied away from criticising vegetarianism, with non meat-eaters having borne the brunt of his sharp tongue on more than one occasion.”

“As such, it’s hardly a surprise that producers have decided it would be a good idea to see how the committed carnivore gets on when deprived of his regular meaty fixes, with the forthcoming show ‘Gordon’s Great Escape’ set to follow Ramsay as he embarks on a vegetarian exploration of India.”

How will Gordon get along without his “meaty” fix? Will it make him even more aggressive and hostile towards vegetarians upon his return? Or will he gain an appreciation of diet, after experiencing the spices and flavors that can be combined to create a palatable, meat-free dish?

The show could only get more entertaining if vegan hating Anthony Bourdain tagged along.

Cloris Leachman Book Signing And RecognitionCloris Leachman recently made an appearance at the Escondido Public Library in California to promote and sign her new book, Cloris: My Autobiography.

It’s known that the octogenarian has been a vegetarian for decades and Cloris revealed what prompted her to try the diet.

She was suffering from several medical problems that doctors couldn’t solve, including hay fever, asthma and insomnia. She started a juice fast, which cured her ailments, and the rest is veggie history.

The actress and Dancing With The Stars contestant is a strong advocate of the diet, posed for PETA for the Let Vegetarianism Grow On You campaign, and even chided a fan during her book signing for drinking soda pop.

“Quit, why don’t you?” Cloris admonished. “It will save your life. Start having juice.”
