Michelle Pfeiffer Says She Used to Be in a 'Breatharian' Cult
UPI ^ | Nov. 3, 2013 | Kate Stanton

Posted on 11/04/2013 2:06:31 PM PST by nickcarraway

Michelle Pfeiffer was in her 20s when she became involved in a cult that encouraged its followers to live without food or water.

Tabloids are full of stories of Hollywood actresses on crazy fad diets, but Michelle Pfeiffer once belonged to a cult that believed human beings could learn to live on nothing but air.

In a recent interview with The Sunday Telegraph, the 55-year-old actress said she was 20 when she moved to Los Angeles and met a couple who acted like "personal trainers."

“They worked with weights and put people on diets. Their thing was vegetarianism,” she said. “They were very controlling. I wasn’t living with them but I was there a lot and they were always telling me I needed to come more. I had to pay for all the time I was there, so it was financially very draining.”

The couple believed in breatharianism -- the idea that followers should try to move beyond veganism.

Though Pfeiffer is still a vegan, she said she realized she was in a cult when she met her first husband, actor Peter Horton. He was working on a film about cults at the time when she had the epiphany: "I was in one."

Breatharians believe you can give up food and water and live off prana, "living off light," or, "living off air."

Proof you don’t need brains to act.
I guess that explains Sean Penn.

Airhead, with apparently not much air in her head, either. Certainly no common sense.......

If only all leftists were as honest as Sean Penn, though,
(calling for the comitting of political opponents to asylums)

we could have it out and have it over with.

Michelle Pfeiffer has that perfect bone structure and looks to make up for any lapse of brain power she may have suffered. The same can’t be said for a lot of airheads in Hollywood, like Sean Penn.

Airhead - Thomas Dolby

I buy her all the right clothes and pretty jewels to wear
My friends say she’s a dumb blonde but they don’t know she dyes her hair
She thinks the fighting in Central America’s easily solved
But what to wear to Bel-Air premieres is a problem she could never resolve

She’s an airhead, stungun and mace, Kharmann Ghia plates say “Lost in Space”
And she’s an airhead, thousands in trust, cusp Aquarius, get serious
And she’s an airhead, tinted contacts don’t change the fact that black is black
And she’s an airhead, while I’m impressed with the length of those legs, she’s not an intellectual giant

She’d like to model or maybe act or start a magazine
Before she signs any (Big) contracts, she better learn to read (And that’s a fact)
But in her dreams she’s the queen of a fashion regime
You ask me do I love you, does the pope live in the woods?
Quod erat demonstrandum, baby (Ooh you speak French)

She’s an airhead, stungun and mace, Kharmann Ghia plates say “Lost in Space”
And she’s an airhead, thousands in trust, cusp Aquarius, get serious
And she’s an airhead, tinted contacts don’t change the fact that black is black
She’s an airhead, while I’m impressed with the size of that chest, she’s not an intellectual giant

Sweet and low and oh-so little Miss Dora Jarre
Safe sex and fishnets and could you walk me to my car (Oh thank you)
She’s losing faith in a world that is out of control
She’s gonna nix politics, she’s taking up volleyball, volleyball, why?

‘Cause she’s an airhead, stungun and mace, Kharmann Ghia plates say “Lost in Space”
And she’s an airhead, thousands in trust, cusp Aquarius, get serious
And she’s an airhead and now the time’s come for the end of my song, don’t get me wrong
If she’s an airhead it has to be said, it was men made her that way
It was us made her that way, it was us made her that way

Don't forget "The Hollywood Knights" and "Into the Night" - of course, I'm certain she wishes she could.

That sounds like Dr. Hazzard and her fasting diets in the early 1900’s. Had herself a nice little racket going until she managed to kill a couple of heiresses with her methods.

Hollywood Knights, one of the funniest movies ever made.

And Fran Drescher, was hot back in the day (as long as she kept her mouth closed).
