Healthy Hollywood: Fab Food Friday – Sheryl Crow’s Food Fight!

Hard to believe – but Thanksgiving is right around the corner. It’s one of my favorite holidays – simply because it brings family together in a major eating fest. I love turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans – lots of love at the table – bring it on – Healthy Hollywood is feast-ready!

Yet, it’s important to take time out and give thanks for our bounty! Not everyone is so lucky to have food on the table. “It is so important for everyone across the country to dare to be conscious and aware of the struggles of those around them,” reveals Sheryl Crow in Eating Well magazine.

The Grammy Award-winning singer is working to stamp out hunger through the hunger-relief charity, Feeding America. Over 37 million people annually are fed thanks to the generosity, dedication, and hard work of this network of food banks. Want to donate or start a virtual food drive?

Eating Well magazine celebrates do-good stars in their November/December issue. Lauren Bush and Jeff Bridges are also singled out for their support of fight hunger charities.

Lauren Bush-Lauren:

Lauren has been instrumental in providing more than 64 million meals worldwide. She co-founded FEED Projects, which is supported by the sales of FEED’s canvas bags, which are designed by Lauren. “I thought creating a ‘FEED bag’— made of the same burlap as the World Food Program’s food drop bags— would be a compelling and tangible way for people to connect with the fight against hunger,” Lauren reveals to Eating Well. A single FEED 1 bag ($60) provides a year of school meals for one child in Africa. For more information, head to www.feedprojects.com

Jeff Bridges:

The Academy Award-winning actor takes on childhood hunger with Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry Campaign. The organization is dedicated to providing food that will help kids lead healthy, active lives. Bridges adds, “Our kids aren’t hungry because we lack food… our children are hungry because we’ve lacked a big-picture strategy to connect them to the nutritious food they need to grow and thrive.” Want to get involved?

Caption A scene from ‘Spartacus: Vengeance’

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- He hasn’t even made his debut as the new star of Starz’s “Spartacus” franchise, but Liam McIntyre clearly has won over the network, because the series has already been renewed for a third season.

On Monday, Starz revealed that “Sparatcus,” which premieres its second season – “Spartacus: Vengeance,” on January 27, 2012, will definitely be coming back.

“There is no denying the impact ‘Spartacus‘ has had in the marketplace with fans across the globe thirsting for the continuation of the epic tale,” Starz Media Managing Director, Carmi Zlotnik, said in a statement. “‘Vengeance’ brings unparalleled action and drama to STARZ viewers in January. We are thrilled to come to an early agreement that allows the writers and talent to get right back to work in preparing for Season 3.”

Production on the third season of the franchise, is expected to begin early next year in New Zealand.

As previously reported on AccessHollywood.com, Liam took over the role of Spartacus, with the blessing of original series star Andy Whitfield, who passed away in September after a battle with cancer.

Liam and the cast – Lucy Lawless, Dustin Clare and Manu Bennett – recently wrapped up Season 2 and the actor recently told Access he left the series, which now follows the ex-gladiators after they begin to form an army, in pain.

“I certainly beat my body into submission… It’s like a tenderizing thing. It’s good — it means there’s cool things in the show, which is a good thing,” he noted.

Amy Adams Admits Henry Cavill’s Superman Body Is ‘Distracting’

Lois Lane appears to be very impressed with Superman’s body!

Access Hollywood caught with Amy Adams at the junket for “The Muppets” over the weekend, where she dished on working with new Superman Henry Cavill in the upcoming “Man of Steel.”

“It is a little distracting at first,” Amy, who plays Lois Lane, said of Henry’s ripped body.

Amy added that sometimes, Henry’s fantastic physique, is just part of his appeal.

“When people first see him, it’s like, ‘Wow. You’re actually really good looking,’” she added.

The actress said she was blown away by her co-star’s dedication to getting into super hero shape.

“He’s just such a hard worker and I have so much respect for how hard he’s worked in this role, just tirelessly,” she told Access. “He’s doing a great job.”

As for herself, Amy is loving her latest two roles.

“I’m having a really great time,” she told Access. “I was a huge Superman fan growing up as well. So, between ‘The Muppets’ and Superman,’ I feel like it’s like, ‘Wow! What else?’”

“Man of Steel” is slated for release on June 14, 2013, but fans can first see Amy with Jason Segel – and of course Kermit and Miss Piggy – in “The Muppets,” which hits theaters on November 23.
