Shania Gets Raw

According to an insider, famed vegetarian Shania Twain has recently been favoring “raw foods,” meaning uncooked, unprocessed foods that haven’t been heated above a certain temperature.

The superstar was seen dining last week at the New York City raw-foods restaurant Pure Food and Wine. Shania’s 5-year-old son, Eja, reportedly is not on the diet. A gossip column recently reported that Shania insisted upon a raw foods menu backstage for her appearance at the Kennedy Center Honors gala honoring Dolly Parton. Shania is currently at work on her first album of all-new material since 2002’s Up!, set for release sometime in 2008.
