Michelle Obama was a guest on the Late Show with David Letterman where she had the honor of counting down the evening’s top 10 list.

This list revolved around gardening to coincide with the publication of the First Lady’s book on her gardening experiences at the White House and gave some pretty useful facts for those with green thumbs.

For example, did you know that, according to #9 on Letterman’s list, when you plant avocados, tomatoes, onions and cilantro together, you grow a guacamole tree?

Chace Crawford plays a butcher named Cole in a film about an uptight, conservative lawyer Diane (Catherine Keener) who pays a visit to her hippie mother (Jane Fonda) she hasn’t seen in two decades.

Diane has a daughter Zoe (Elizabeth Olsen) who apparently takes after grandma, as she’s vegetarian, but still falls for Cole.

Unfortunately vegetarian ladies, although Crawford doesn’t butcher in real life, you’d have to be a Zoe to fall for him because he does eat meat. But the film did make him explore the idea of where it comes from.

Morgan Freeman

Morgan Freeman is gearing up for the third season of Through The Wormhole, a series on Science that explores the many relationships between science, philosophy, mankind and the universe.

Intelligence apparently requires an enormous amount of protein. Which is why we eat meat. Instead of being vegetarians. We have this enormous brain capacity.”

But when asked if meat eaters were still intellectually superior, Freeman was hesitant.

Michelle Pfeiffer Inspired By Bill Clinton’s Vegan Diet (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, June 5th, 2012 in Actresses, Film & TV, Videos.

Michelle Pfeifer was a guest on Piers Morgan Tonight where she discussed her motivation for adopting a vegan diet.

According to some sources, Pfeiffer once tried vegetarianism, then abandoned it.

Learning about Bill Clinton‘s health transformation after he gave up animal products inspired her.

“OK, Bill Clinton loves food, so there must be something to [veganism] that’s making him stick to it. And also, he’s smart, so he’s not going to do something unless he really thinks there’s some science behind it,” Pfeiffer said.
