Gwyneth Paltrow has featured a recipe for Nori Wraps in a recent edition of her online newsletter, Goop.

Barbara Streisand

Several big celebrities attended a gala at Barbra Streisand‘s Malibu estate to celebrate awareness for heart disease in women and the renaming of the Women’s Heart Center at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles to The Barbra Streisand Women’s Heart Center.

Streisand and the rest of the party planners definitely got one thing right. The menu was filled with heart-healthy vegan items like salad of watermelon and heirloom tomatoes, tuscan kale and quinoa pasta.

Could this have anything to do with the fact one of her guests was former president of the United States AND former heart surgery patient who happens to be doing a lot better thanks to switch to a vegan diet?

Restaurant Impossible Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama was a guest on Food Network’s Restaurant Impossible where she and host Robert Irvine visited a school garden at the non-profit Horton’s Kids in Washington, D.C.   The First Lady’s challenge for Irvine, who usually spends the episode trying to salvage failing restaurants, was to help “kids eat right and get active, so that they can grow up healthy and strong.”

Mrs. Obama used the analogy that caring for a garden was similar to caring for the human body, citing you wouldn’t use soda to water it.

The group also witness how a bicycle powered hose could combine exercise and gardening. Rainwater was collected and the bike is then ridden by students to push the water onto the land.

When Michelle got on the bike to water the garden, Irvine said, “We have one of the fittest first ladies in the history of America and she’s talking the talk and walking the walk.”

A clip from the show can be viewed below.
