We interrupt that last bite of pork belly terrine to remind you that pigs are in fact highly intelligent creatures who would behave like dogs if we gave them the chance! Yum, right? Farm Sanctuary hosts a NYC Gala for Farm Animals at Cipriani, featuring Paul McCartney’s ex, Heather Mills, emcee Melissa Rivers (Alicia Silverstone must have been busy) and a three-course vegan dinner, not to mention a performance by ’90s mainstay Shawn Colvin and appearances by animal lovers such as Kristen Bell, Jennifer Coolidge, Ally Sheedy and Swoosie Kurtz. (Um, Gwyneth? Julia? Tinsley? Can’t we get some more love for the critters here?)

Here we have another I suppose worth while charitable event. Now, don't get me wrong. These events serve a great purpose. My point here is: You have to believe with having the name Heather Mills linked to the event.... it won't do well.... In a pigs eye would you get me involved in an event that involves her.
