“For Thanksgiving we have to make a Tofurkey! It doesn’t sound right! It’s gonna be jiggly and weird. I’m from Texas – I’d fry a steak. We eat all casseroles and giblets!”

—Jessica Simpson, to Jimmy Fallon, according to People, on how soon to be husband Eric Johnson won’t be eating drumsticks this Thursday as he’s a vegan.

Tofurky.

FYI, Tofurky isn’t jiggly–it’s actually a firm loaf like any other prepared turkey, that comes stuffed with wild rice and bread crumbs and even vegan down to the gravy.

This Dish Is Veg has some tips for cooking the no-bird, which includes alternative methods to the ones on the box.

View the video of Jessica and Jimmy below.

Sigourney Weaver recalls her favorite movie she starred in during her acting career as Gorillas In The Midst because it got her interested in ape conservation.

In 1987, Weaver traveled to Rwanda to film the movie, based on Dian Fossey, an American zoologist who studied and sought to protect mountain gorillas.

Today, Weaver is the chairperson of the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund International, an organization dedicate to gorilla conservation and protection of its habitat in Africa.

According to the World Wildlife Foundation, the Easternlowland gorillas are most threatened by habitat loss from clearing of the forests for farming and for mining coltan, an alloy used for mobile phones.

The bushmeat trade also destroys the species, as well as collecting baby gorillas for pets, as the parents are killed. Body parts of gorillas are often used in medicine or magical charms for the residents in the area.

Sarah Silverman remembers one of her very first Thanksgivings. Or, as she calls it, “Thankskilling.”

In a story the comedian briefly touches on in her book, The Bedwetter, Silverman’s early turkey moments are recalled in this “Funny or Die” video which illustrates her dad taking her to a turkey farm, Sarah being asked to pick the one she likes the best, only to discover she chose the cutest bird with the greatest personality traits to be sentenced to its head chopped off.

Some children learn sooner than others.

Silverman says killing the turkey is a symbol of America’s “self-righteous heritage” that consists of it killing native Americans, stealing their land and similar acts of gratitude towards others.

“Happy Thanksgiving dummies!” she wishes at the end.

Pamela Anderson once said, “Leather in India is a huge problem. I narrated a documentary about that ten years ago, and nothing’s changed.”

Maybe that statement was made one reality TV show too soon.

Sources say that since Anderson has taken a stance against leather in India while filming the country’s version of “Big Brother,” there’s been a surge in people asking about non-leather products.

Olivia Munn‘s reporting on the passing Proposition B, a new law in Missouri which passed with 52% of the “yes” vote that sets down stricter rules for puppy breeders, finds her interviewing one opponent to the new measure who compares it to Obamacare and cites humans are treated the same way as puppies in mills are all the time.

When Munn asks how, the opponent replies that humans are housed in apartments that are stacked just like crates in mills.

But, as Munn insists, most apartments don’t allow your neighbor to sh*t on your head just because he’s housed above you, something puppy mills have failed to accommodate for.

Another hilarious satire from The Daily Show.

Alicia Silverstone‘s 2011 collection of EcoTools, the sustainable line of cosmetic tools featuring hemp and recycled plastic materials dyed with vegetable-based ink, will contain five new cruelty-free makeup brushes and six embroidered cosmetic cases which she contributed to the designs.

During a launch event for the new EcoTools products, the actress shared with Allure what some of her favorite eco-friendly brands were.

Silverstone embellishes her lashes with Gabrielle Cosmetic ZuZu Luxe Mascara, which doesn’t contain any beeswax or parabens.

“It’s one of the most natural ones out there,” she said.
