Support Terri's Law and Shed Pounds!

Thanks go out to Everybody Loves Raymond star Patricia Heaton for premiering a new Hollywood diet on Entertainment Tonight this evening: the Euthanasia Diet! Yes, dear Patty "rocked" Hollywood when she told an ET reporter that she intends to fast and forego all foods and liquids in symbolic support of Terri Schraivo. Patricia plans to start her fast "soon...maybe tomorrow...maybe Friday, yeah, it's Good Friday, maybe on Good Friday" and end her fast when the ink dries on her TrimSpa contract and Mel Gibson's lips begin to slowly disengage from her ass.

Stars known for battling both the bulge and a rep for being vapid came out as early supporters of Patricia's plan and enthusiastically embraced the opportunity to try on political pretense while taking off pesky pounds. Jessica Simpson, for one, appreciates the diet's simplicity, 'Know nothing, eat nothing...it works for me!" And Lindsay Lohan, formerly a devotee of the popular "Blow Only" diet remarked, "If necessary, I will take my fast all the way to the Supreme Court. Or to the President. Or to Benson. Or whoever it is that works in a big white house and is responsible for these things."

Other observers might say that starving is what actresses like Patricia Heaton do for a living...voluntarily. If Patricia really wanted to show the world what it's like to walk in Terri's shoes, perhaps she should lay in Terri's bed. Immobile. For 15 years. Without any brain activity whatsoever. (Although, maybe Patricia already knows what that last bit is like.)
