Desperate Housewives star Teri Hatcher was one of several stars to compete for charity in the 2009 Nautica Malibu Triathlon during the weekend.

“I’m still standing , yeah yeah yeah,” blogged the star. "What a great experience I had doing my first official triathlon. Many many thanks to all those who donated! I couldn’t have had more generous support from friends, family and fans. I couldn’t have been with a nicer more supportive team than Team Disney. We raised funds for Children’s Hospital Los Angeles in record numbers. I am proud and grateful and humbled by all the efforts put forth by the thousands of contestants and spectators.

“I have a new article posting on Modernmom.com on finishing the triathlon called “To compete or not to compete” and an earlier written one called “How is motherhood like a triathlon.” Please visit their site for some light fun reading."

Exclusive Interview With Hayley Hasselhoff

Wed, 20 May 2009 08:45:00 +0000

LookToTheStars.org’s Michelle Vink caught up with Hayley Hasselhoff recently to chat about her career and charity work.

I recently had the opportunity of meeting the beautiful young Hayley Hasselhoff as well as her father, David Hasselhoff and mother, Pamela Bach. Contrary to what the tabloids are saying, I observed a loving mother and father who both adore their daughters and are doing their best to get through a very difficult time. Both parents set aside their differences to come out and support their daughter when her board put on the charity event, “The Bash” to raise money for other teens at CHLA. Just as I first met Hayley at CHLA for the hospital visit, I witnessed a 16-year-old girl with a passion to help others with a desire to use her celebrity status to be a role model for her peers. This is an introduction to a resilient girl who understands the responsibility of being in the spotlight and is not afraid to shine.

Look To The Stars Invites You To The Bash Of All Bashes

Thu, 14 May 2009 15:30:00 +0000

Look To The Stars is proud to be associated with a special charity party being held in Hollywood this weekend featuring a number of celebrity guests.

The Bash has been organized by a group of teenage girls – Teens Helping Teens – including Hayley Hasselhoff – daughter of David – and Autumn Chiklis, daughter of Michael Chiklis, who wanted to support the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. The founders of the event are Nathalia Ramos (Disney Bratz) and Bosilika An, and the board includes Mady Feder, Marissa Lepor, Savanah Slotkin, Ellen Basser and Zelda Williams (daughter of Robin Williams).

“Around Christmas, Teens Helping Teens noticed that the teens in the hospital were really lacking things to keep them entertained,” explained David Hasselhoff. "The kids that have to stay in the hospital are often there for a really long time and a lot of them are in isolation wards and can’t really communicate with anyone but the nurses and their families. The girls of Teens Helping Teens went around and asked all these kids what they wanted the most to make their stay more comfortable and almost all of them said they wanted a computer or a PlayStation or something that would occupy them without risking them getting sick.

“I am so proud of my daughter Hayley. She is growing up to be a young woman that possesses a true compassion for people and desire to help & inspire others,” exclaims David Hasselhoff.

David has every reason to be proud of his “power” teen. This fashion model, recording artist and community activist has been keeping herself very busy. This last Saturday, Hayley joined forces with the plus size fashion label, Torrid to launch a nation-wide search for high school-aged fashionistas as part of their High School Fashion Advisory Panel. They will choose 10 winners that will have the opportunity to show their real beauty. All model search entrants will be evaluated on their fashion sense, image on campus, online presence via social networking sites and most importantly their contributions to their communities. Once on board, these girls will have the opportunity to create looks for the label, and share fashion tips and trends through personal blogs and videos.

LTTS Video Exclusive: David Hasselhoff Visits Children's Hospital LA

Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:30:00 +0000

David Hasselhoff joined his daughter and a group of Hollywood teens at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles during Easter to visit the patients, and Look To The Stars was there.

Hasselhoff’s daughter, Hayley, is one of a group of girls calling themselves Teens Helping Teens who are actively working to help sick children at the hospital.

“Around Christmas, Teens Helping Teens noticed that the teens in the hospital were really lacking things to keep them entertained,” explains Hasselhoff. "The kids that have to stay in the hospital are often there for a really long time and a lot of them are in isolation wards and can’t really communicate with anyone but the nurses and their families. The girls of Teens Helping Teens went around and asked all these kids what they wanted the most to make their stay more comfortable and almost all of them said they wanted a computer or a PlayStation or something that would occupy them without risking them getting sick.

Hasselhoff’s New Wheels

Mon, 05 May 2008 11:42:45 +0000

David Hasselhoff, a long time supporter of UCP Wheels for Humanity, spoke once again at their annual fundraiser last month in California. A huge success, the event raised hundreds of thousands for the charity, which supplies wheelchairs for developing countries.

Inspired by his brothers’ distribution efforts of wheelchairs to individuals in Guatemala in the ‘80s, Wheels For Humanity founder David Richard started a home garage operation in ’96 restoring second hand wheelchairs for shipment to the needy. Wheels For Humanity quickly outgrew Richard’s garage, forcing him into various storage facilities until he partnered, just over a year ago, with United Cerebral Palsy of Los Angeles, Ventura & Santa Barbara Counties, enabling the newly formed UCP Wheels For Humanity to provide even more disabled with mobility.

Denny Richard, a brother of David’s, once told him, “You can’t just collect wheelchairs, you have to go on a delivery. It will change your life.” In fact, it did – it has also changed the lives of over 40,000 others who have received his gift.
