Sheridan Shuns Dog Food, Gilbert Is Game

So Nicollette Sheridan doesn’t want to eat dog food… yet Melissa Gilbert is O.K. with the idea. I’m gonna have to side with Nicollette on this one, I would SO LOSE playing “Fear Factor“!
Actress Melissa Gilbert, left, and Ross the Intern from ‘The Tonight Show’ with his dog Louise, enjoy a bowl of dog food to promote Dick Van Patten’s new venture in Los Angeles on Thursday.
“Desperate Housewives” actress Nicollette Sheridan and “Exorcist” head-turner Linda Blair were supposed to eat dog food during an event promoting “Dine With Your Dog Day.” “This is not ‘Fear Factor,”‘ Sheridan said Thursday, balking at the idea of downing dog food.
Blair also declined, explaining she’s a vegetarian. But “Little House on the Prairie” actress Melissa Gilbert and Ross the Intern from “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” were game and scooped up helpings of doggie morsels.
Actor James Farantino was also on hand for the midday kickoff celebration – dubbed the “doggy social event of the season.”
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and governors of New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Nebraska and West Virginia proclaimed Oct. 21 as “Dine With Your Dog Day.” But the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza decided to un-leash the party two days early.
Acid-tongued fashion critic Mr. Blackwell was on hand to applaud the best-dressed bowsers and a pet psychic read paws.
Former “Eight is Enough” TV patriarch Dick Van Patten, whose Natural Balance dog food company was behind the event, said he wanted to show dog lovers how delicious pet chow can be.
It celebrates the bond between man and dog by encouraging pet owners to share a meal with their dog, Van Patten said.
On Saturday, pet stores nationwide will be hosting special events to honor dogs big and small. Some sales proceeds from participating brands, including Natural Choice, will be going to animal shelters, Van Patten said.
“We hope to raise a lot of money for local animal shelters to continue their important efforts to give humane treatment to man’s best friend,” Van Patten said in a statement. source
