Ready or not — Thanksgiving is just around the corner! True, you could gnaw on the leg of some helplessly slaughtered turkey, but why not mix it up this year with a celebration of compassion.

On November 22, Jonathan Safran Foer will be the guest of honor at Farm Sanctuary’s “Celebration For The Turkeys “– an all-day affair complete with delicious vegan cuisine from the chefs at Candle 79, an inspiring program, a special reading from Foer’s new book, and a silent auction to benefit the sanctuaries’ rescued animals.

The event will take place at Tavern on the Green from 12-5 p.m. and feature a slew of notable guests, including: Laurie Anderson, Lou Reed, Mary and Peter Max and Ally Sheedy.

Seating is limited and tickets are selling fast! To find out more about how you can attend, visit FarmSanctuary.org!

Last week Paltrow participated in a Karaoke With The Stars event in London to help raise money for Palestinian refugee children. Paltrow got on the stage and belted Roberta Flack’s Killing Me Softly after a $90,000 bid was offered — the highest single bid of the evening.

Also in attendance were stars like Lily Cole, Lou Reed, Bruce Forsyth and Stella McCartney. The evening was a hit and raised over $440,000 for the Hoping Foundation. To see more pictures from the evening, visit uk.popsugar.com.
