David Blaine has found a new project: Mia Farrow. The 64-year-old activist/actress has tapped into the magician's bag of tricks to get some tips on how to endure a hunger strike. She started the fast on Monday, in the name of Darfur, and has been blogging about it on her website, saying, "Before I began this fast David Blaine (magician and endurance artist) called me. So kind of him. He told me a little about how to prepare and what to expect. He said after 6 days I won't feel hunger. He told me to drink 4 liters of water." Farrow only weighs in at 110 pounds, and will be living on a water-only diet for three weeks. She maintains: "What I am going through now is nothing compared what the people of Darfur are facing. When I feel hunger pangs and my head aches, I think of them." [via the Daily News]
