WHAT DO THE STARS EAT?

Film stars are everyone's favourite subject. People love to talk about what they're wearing and who they're dating. But have you ever wondered about what they eat?

Chefs and caterers on film sets have the answers. 'Every actor has different eating habits,' says chef John Sharp. 'Some stars love meat, while others are strict vegetarians who do not eat meat, eggs or fish. Some stars love junk food, while others are constantly on a diet and eat only healthy foods.'

99% of the time, actresses are on a diet and eat only low-fat foods. During the filming of Now and Then, Demi Moore ate nothing but rice, steamed spinach and turkey sandwiches on wholemeal bread. During the filming of Twister, Helen Hunt only ate low-calorie foods, including dry toast and steamed brown rice with vegetables.     

Other stars love to eat junk food. Eddie Murphy's favourite food is Kentucky Fried Chicken. Whoopi Goldberg doesn't worry about how healthy her diet is, and loves fatty bacon sandwiches.

One thing for sure is that cooking for the stars is never easy, because they are often fussy eaters. They want food fixed exactly the way they like it and always have something to complain about,' says caterer Susan Tate. Bill Murray won't eat watermelon with seeds in it, and Mickey Rourke insists on freshly-squeezed carrot juice twice a day.

Over millions of years, hot clouds of gas called nebulae grow until they explode and form huge, blazing balls of fire. This is how stars are born. Our own sun is a star. Eventually, like all stars, it will run out of fuel and die. Don't worry though - this won't happen for another 4 bil­lion years!

 Stars  are  sources of light. This is the reason they shine so brightly in the sky. The moon, planets and comets also shine, but they don't give out their own light. They just reflect it from the sun.

In fact, when stars' light reaches our eyes, we sometimes see them as they were thousands of years ago! Our sun is the nearest star to Earth, but it is still about 150 million kilometers away! It is a part of the Milky Way galaxy, a white band of stars that stretches across the night sky.

Constellations are groups of stars. If you draw lines between them (and use lots of imagina­tion!) they sometimes look like objects, animals or people. The ancient Greeks thought that Orion looked like a giant hunter with a sword attached to his belt!

 As the earth moves around the sun, we see the constellations in different positions in the sky at different times of the year. In the same way, the whole sky seems to move towards the west as the earth rotates on its axis throughout the night.
