  <title>Charlize Theron Kisses For Charity Cash</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/350-onexone&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ONEXONE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, the charitable organization committed to fighting health issues and preserving the lives of children locally and globally, hosted their 2nd Annual &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ONEXONE&lt;/span&gt; Fundraiser at Bimbo&#8217;s 365 Club in San Francisco, CA on Thursday, October 22.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Academy Award-winner &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/34-charlize-theron&quot;&gt;Charlize Theron&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/894-jeremy-piven&quot;&gt;Jeremy Piven&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1133-josh-groban&quot;&gt;Josh Groban&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/639-carlos-santana&quot;&gt;Carlos Santana&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/734-david-arquette&quot;&gt;David Arquette&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/540-mia-hamm&quot;&gt;Mia Hamm&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/989-nomar-garciaparra&quot;&gt;Nomar Garciaparra&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1730-laila-ali&quot;&gt;Laila Ali&lt;/a&gt; and more helped raise funds and awareness for charitable causes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The evening featured keynote speaker Vicki Escarra, &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CEO&lt;/span&gt; of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/426-second-harvest&quot;&gt;Feeding America&lt;/a&gt;, along with a special headline performance from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/842-snow-patrol&quot;&gt;Snow Patrol&lt;/a&gt;. Additional entertainment included performances by Josh Groban, Carlos Santana, Spencer Day, the local jazz vocalist from San Francisco, and Ethan Bortnick, the 8-year old pianist and composer who wrote his own song &#8220;It&#8217;s For the Kids&#8221; in honor of the event. &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ONEXONE&lt;/span&gt; also welcomed back Jay Bilas for his second year as Master of Ceremonies.&lt;br /&gt;
&#160;&lt;br /&gt;
Academy Award-winner Charlize Theron, on behalf of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/929-charlize-theron-african-outreach-project&quot;&gt;Charlize Theron African Outreach Project&lt;/a&gt;, and 2-time World Cup Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist Mia Hamm also announced the latest initiative &#8220;Home Field Advantage&#8221; in partnership with &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ONEXONE&lt;/span&gt; and Academy Award-winner &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/231-matt-damon&quot;&gt;Matt Damon&lt;/a&gt; which will bring soccer fields and clean water to the children of South Africa by 2010. The Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project and the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ONEXONE&lt;/span&gt; Foundation will work together on this initiative to bolster impoverished rural South African communities with plans to break ground by the 2010 &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;FIFA&lt;/span&gt; World Cup.&lt;br /&gt;
&#160;&lt;br /&gt;
The highlight of the evening came during the live auction when Charlize Theron helped auction off a two-week trip to South Africa for the World Cup plus a kiss from her for $140,000. Jeremy Piven also jumped onstage during the live auction and encouraged two guests to bid $140,000 each for a walk-on roll on the hit &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HBO&lt;/span&gt; show &#8220;Entourage&#8221; for a total of $280,000.&lt;br /&gt;
&#160;&lt;br /&gt;
&#8220;The night was a huge success and we&#8217;d like to thank the generous people of San Francisco for their continued support,&#8221; said Marc Joubert, President of &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ONEXONE&lt;/span&gt; U.S.&lt;br /&gt;
&#160;&lt;br /&gt;
The &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ONEXONE&lt;/span&gt; event in San Francisco focuses not only on raising funds and awareness for the issues, but also on producing a top-notch show that entertains and educates the audience at the same time. &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ONEXONE&lt;/span&gt; was founded in 2005 by Diesel Canada President, Joelle Berdugo Adler, and has raised more than $9 million for children around the world since that time.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Nelson Mandela's 91st Celebrated In Style</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A galaxy of stars turned out to celebrate &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/543-nelson-mandela&quot;&gt;Nelson Mandela&#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; 91st birthday in New York during the weekend, with proceeds going to one of the South African legend&#8217;s charities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/711-bruce-springsteen&quot;&gt;Bruce Springsteen&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/409-alicia-keys&quot;&gt;Alicia Keys&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/702-stevie-wonder&quot;&gt;Stevie Wonder&lt;/a&gt; and many more appeared at the Radio City Music Hall on Saturday, July 19, with money raised going to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/658-46664&quot;&gt;46664&lt;/a&gt;, Mandela&#8217;s campaign to help raise Global awareness of &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;. 46664 aims to highlight the emergency of &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt; through unique live events and music related initiatives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mandela himself was unable to attend the event, but did send a video message in which he said &amp;#8220;It is on your hands to create a better world for all who live in it.&amp;#8221; President &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/998-barack-obama&quot;&gt;Barack Obama&lt;/a&gt; also appeared via video, saying that Mandela&amp;#8217;s life &amp;#8220;teaches us that the impossible can be done, but only if people have the courage to make change happen.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/246-morgan-freeman&quot;&gt;Morgan Freeman&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/496-forest-whitaker&quot;&gt;Forest Whitaker&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/312-whoopi-goldberg&quot;&gt;Whoopi Goldberg&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/491-susan-sarandon&quot;&gt;Susan Sarandon&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1467-tim-robbins&quot;&gt;Tim Robbins&lt;/a&gt; spoke at the event.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Others to perform at the concert included French first lady &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1606-carla-bruni&quot;&gt;Carla Bruni&lt;/a&gt;, who sang &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/514-bob-dylan&quot;&gt;Bob Dylan&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; &lt;em&gt;Blowing in the Wind&lt;/em&gt; with former Eurythmics guitarist &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1914-dave-stewart&quot;&gt;Dave Stewart&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/708-queen-latifah&quot;&gt;Queen Latifah&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1621-aretha-franklin&quot;&gt;Aretha Franklin&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1133-josh-groban&quot;&gt;Josh Groban&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/488-will-i-am&quot;&gt;will.i.am&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/490-wyclef-jean&quot;&gt;Wyclef Jean&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1328-gloria-gaynor&quot;&gt;Gloria Gaynor&lt;/a&gt; also performed, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1790-cyndi-lauper&quot;&gt;Cyndi Lauper&lt;/a&gt; dueted with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/723-lil-kim&quot;&gt;Lil&amp;#8217; Kim&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Our struggle for freedom and justice was a collective effort,&#8220; said Mandela. &amp;#8220;It is our hope that people will dedicate their time and effort to improve the conditions within their own community.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>New York To Host First Mandela Day Concert</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;New York takes world center-stage next month when the city hosts the inaugural &#8216;Mandela Day.&#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Centered around a massive music headliner concert at New York&#8217;s Madison Square Garden on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/543-nelson-mandela&quot;&gt;Nelson Mandela&#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; 91st birthday, July 18, the event is designed as a call around the world for people to honor Nelson Mandela&#8217;s inspiration and values, and observe the day annually as a celebration, not as a holiday, but as a day to opt in.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Joining &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1914-dave-stewart&quot;&gt;Dave Stewart&lt;/a&gt; for this concert celebration will be &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1621-aretha-franklin&quot;&gt;Aretha Franklin&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/490-wyclef-jean&quot;&gt;Wyclef Jean&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/708-queen-latifah&quot;&gt;Queen Latifah&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1133-josh-groban&quot;&gt;Josh Groban&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;TLC&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1790-cyndi-lauper&quot;&gt;Cyndi Lauper&lt;/a&gt; and Jesse McCartney, sharing the stage and performances with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/694-angelique-kidjo&quot;&gt;Ang&#233;lique Kidjo&lt;/a&gt;, Baaba Maal, the Soweto Gospel Choir, Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Chris Chameleon, Freshlyground, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1923-emmanuel-jal&quot;&gt;Emmanuel Jal&lt;/a&gt;, Loyiso, Sipho Mabuse, Vusi Mahlasela, Thandiswa Mazwai, Suzanna Owiyo and many more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Further invited guests will include France&#8217;s First Lady, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1606-carla-bruni&quot;&gt;Carla Bruni&lt;/a&gt; making a rare concert appearance, as well as Italy&#8217;s Zucchero, a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/658-46664&quot;&gt;46664&lt;/a&gt; ambassador artist who has given support at each of the prior 46664 concerts. Adding to the star value of the day, Hollywood legends and 46664 supporters &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/496-forest-whitaker&quot;&gt;Forest Whitaker&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/155-sharon-stone&quot;&gt;Sharon Stone&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/491-susan-sarandon&quot;&gt;Susan Sarandon&lt;/a&gt; and many others have all committed to attend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;President &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/20-bill-clinton&quot;&gt;Bill Clinton&lt;/a&gt;, who will host a fundraiser dinner with Mr. Mandela&#8217;s wife Graca Machel at New York&#8217;s Grand Central Terminal&#8217;s Vanderbilt Hall earlier in the week on July 15 said, &#8220;More than any other human being, Madiba has been the great inspiration for the life I lead and the work I do, especially in the area of &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;. The philosophy of my &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/750-clinton-global-initiative&quot;&gt;Clinton Global Initiative&lt;/a&gt; &#8211; which has inspired 1,400 commitments improving 200 million lives in more than 150 countries &#8211; was built on his enduring example that the power of public good does not require public office, just a well-placed heart and a determined mind. In return for everything Madiba has taught us, we each owe it to him to support his work and legacy by doing and living our own as best we can, not just on this day, but throughout our entire lives.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;The City of New York is honored to host the inaugural Mandela Day,&#8221; said Mayor Michael Bloomberg. &amp;quot;Nelson Mandela has spent a lifetime fighting injustice and it is fitting to set aside a day each year to celebrate and recognize his legacy.  I am especially pleased that service is playing such a large part in Mandela Day and encourage all New Yorkers recognize this day as a chance to give back to their communities.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/919-robert-deniro&quot;&gt;Robert DeNiro&lt;/a&gt; said, &#8220;When Nelson Mandela speaks we all must listen.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tim Massey, International Director of 46664, said, &#8220;Mandela Day is about creating a movement for positive change and establishing one day to reflect upon, celebrate and make manifest the values that guide Nelson Mandela.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Adding his voice of support, 46664 founding ambassador, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1495-queen&quot;&gt;Queen&#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/351-brian-may&quot;&gt;Brian May&lt;/a&gt; said, &#8220;It is Nelson Mandela&#8217;s ability to forgive that is an inspiration to us all. If Mandela Day can help the world to reconcile its differences then it will have succeeded in its purpose.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Raising support from friends in the musical community, including Queen&#8217;s Brian May and Roger Taylor and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/26-bono&quot;&gt;Bono&lt;/a&gt;, Dave Stewart helped launch the 46664 global campaign which has since been carried across three continents.  A series of historical concerts have taken place in South Africa, Spain, Norway, and most recently in the UK, with last year&#8217;s massive outdoor concert in Hyde Park which celebrated Mr. Mandela&#8217;s 90th birthday, playing to televised audiences that can be counted in the billions.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To date, the 46664 campaign has raised millions of dollars which have been applied to supporting projects in South Africa and sub-Saharan Africa where current needs are deemed greatest, particularly in assisting those infected or affected by &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;New York&#8217;s concert for Mr. Mandela will not only further spread the message of 46664  but aims to have a longer lasting purpose &#8211; to mark a day in each year as one of which we collectively  reflect on Nelson Mandela&#8217;s inspiration and guidance and individually strive to make our own contribution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many of 46664&#8217;s ambassadors will form part of the concert bringing together leading U.S. artists with many of Africa&#8217;s foremost performers for Mandela Day, a celebration for Mr. Mandela&#8217;s 91st birthday which will be seen as a meeting in music between the U.S. and Africa in a concert for the world. Further artists will be joining the growing line-up and can be expected to be announced in the lead up to the concert.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The concert is the culmination of a week-long series of events in New York City in celebration of the first-ever Mandela Day.  The activities include a Ralph Applebaum designed exhibition of Mr. Mandela&#8217;s life and the work of his many 46664 ambassadors, as well as the gala fundraising dinner, both at Grand Central Terminal&#8217;s Vanderbilt Hall.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mr. Mandela has been making an imprint on the world for 67 years since he actively became involved in campaigning for the human rights of every South African and now &#8216;Mandela Day&#8217; calls upon each of us to give 67 minutes of our time to helping others, with the idea that each individual has the ability to make an imprint and make the world a better place.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Drawing its numeric title from Mr. Mandela&#8217;s Robben Island prison number (prisoner 466/incarcerated in 1964), 46664 was founded in 2002 when Mr. Mandela gave over the number, under which he served 17 of his 27 years incarceration, to Eurythmics&#8217; founder Dave Stewart, to use call attention to finding solutions to critical social issues such as &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; and the social injustices that impact the disease such as poverty, gender inequality and the lack of education.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;46664 will also be working with partner organizations, other city authorities and community associations and volunteers across the globe to create a worldwide series of Mandela Day events to honor Nelson Mandela&#8217;s life and legacy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8216;46664 &amp;#8211; Mandela Day Celebration&#8217; Madison Square Garden concert tickets prices range from $50-$350, with &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VIP&lt;/span&gt; packages at $1,000 and up.  All tickets are available beginning Friday, June 5, 9am &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;EST&lt;/span&gt; at http://www.ticketmaster.com, livenation.com, thegarden.com and charge by phone:  800-745-3000  For &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VIP&lt;/span&gt; packages visit ticketmaster.com.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Sheryl Crow And Sting Perform One Night Live</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/17-elizabeth-willoughby&quot;&gt;Elizabeth Willoughby&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Singers &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/267-sheryl-crow&quot;&gt;Sheryl Crow&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/212-sting&quot;&gt;Sting&lt;/a&gt; performed last Thursday in Toronto at the One Night Live benefit to support a new health program at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/938-sunnybrook-foundation&quot;&gt;Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sunnybrook is a world leader in perinatal and gynaecological research and care, particularly in high risk pregnancies, and houses a multiple birth clinic that specializes in caring for women carrying more than one baby at a time.  Their state-of-the-art, 150,000-square-foot centre for the High Risk Mothers &amp;amp; Babies Program is still being expanded in order to accommodate hundreds more babies each year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In an interview with the Globe and Mail, Sting explained why he decided to perform in the fundraiser: &#8220;I did it because Sheryl was doing it.&#8221; Crow added, &#8220;And I did it because Sting was doing it.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As parents, Crow and Sting both see the value in the Sunnybrook unit and were happy to participate in the concert. Crow said, &#8220;My son is the most important person in [my life]. I love it when there&amp;#8217;s a charitable component. .. And to be part of something that is doing good work.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last year&#8217;s performers &#8211; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/162-sarah-mclachlan&quot;&gt;Sarah McLachlan&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1133-josh-groban&quot;&gt;Josh Groban&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1082-bryan-adams&quot;&gt;Bryan Adams&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1083-jann-arden&quot;&gt;Jann Arden&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1081-ryan-dan&quot;&gt;RyanDan&lt;/a&gt; &#8211; along with a private $8 million donation from Aubrey and Marla Dan &#8211; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/614-stars-perform-one-night-live-for-hospital&quot;&gt;raised $12 million for the centre&lt;/a&gt;.

  <title>Muhammad Ali Attends Celebrity Fight Night</title>

&lt;p&gt;The legend himself, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/208-muhammad-ali&quot;&gt;Muhammad Ali&lt;/a&gt;, was the guest of honor at Celebrity Fight Night XV, held at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort &amp;amp; Spa in Phoenix, Arizona, on Saturday.  And this year&#8217;s event once again lived up to its reputation as one the nation&amp;#8217;s largest fundraising efforts, as celebrities and sport stars lined up to support the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/254-muhammad-ali-parkinson-center&quot;&gt;Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since it&#8217;s inception 15 years ago, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.celebrityfightnight.org/body.htm&quot;&gt;Celebrity Fight Night&lt;/a&gt; has raised more than $52 million for the Muhammad Ali Parkinson&amp;#8217;s Center in Phoenix and other charities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Country star &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/213-reba-mcentire&quot;&gt;Reba McEntire&lt;/a&gt; emceed the event for the fourth time, while guests such as Olympic swimmer &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1483-michael-phelps&quot;&gt;Michael Phelps&lt;/a&gt;, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/496-forest-whitaker&quot;&gt;Forest Whitaker&lt;/a&gt; were this year&amp;#8217;s honorees who &#8216;best represented the qualities associated with the Champ and his fight to find a cure for Parkinson&#8217;s Disease.&#8217;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Kurt Warner, who received the Sports Leadership Award, said, &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re just blessed. God put us in a position to try to make an impact and you receive honors like this and you accept them humbly.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps, who received the Sports Achievement Award, couldn&#8217;t have been happier. &amp;#8220;It is good to be here with so many great people and Muhammad Ali especially,&amp;#8221; he said. &amp;#8220;I had the privilege of meeting him 4 years ago so being here and being with everyone it is a special night.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Actor Forest Whitaker received the Entertainer Award and President of Kinray, the largest privately held drug distributor in the U.S, Stewart Rahr, received the Entrepreneur Award.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Stars Sign Hardhats For Charity Auction</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles has launched an online auction at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.clothesoffourback.org/habitat&quot;&gt;Clothes Off Our Back&lt;/a&gt; featuring hardhats signed by celebrity volunteers and supporters of Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The hardhats are signed and decorated by music, television and film stars including: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/274-green-day&quot;&gt;Green Day&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/319-ricky-martin&quot;&gt;Ricky Martin&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/477-linkin-park&quot;&gt;Linkin Park&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/245-u2&quot;&gt;U2&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/99-justin-timberlake&quot;&gt;Justin Timberlake&lt;/a&gt;, The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1316-jonas-brothers&quot;&gt;Jonas Brothers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1068-carrie-underwood&quot;&gt;Carrie Underwood&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/702-stevie-wonder&quot;&gt;Stevie Wonder&lt;/a&gt; and many more. The auction will run through March 6 with 100% of the proceeds helping to build more affordable homes in Greater Los Angeles.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Through our non-profit organization, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/551-music-for-relief&quot;&gt;Music for Relief&lt;/a&gt;, and our ongoing partnership with Habitat for Humanity we have had the opportunity to not only sponsor homes, but also to go and build the houses ourselves, and to meet the families that were moving into them,&amp;#8221; said Dave &amp;#8220;Phoenix&amp;#8221; Farrell of Linkin Park. &amp;#8220;We hope this hardhat auction will raise awareness for Habitat&amp;#8217;s mission and help raise funds for families in need.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In 2007 Habitat for Humanity kicked off its &amp;#8220;Building a Greater Los Angeles&amp;#8221; campaign to build and renovate 250 more homes. In conjunction with the &amp;#8220;Building a Greater Los Angeles&amp;#8221; Gala held last fall, Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity held a successful online auction with &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VIP&lt;/span&gt; experiences and signed memorabilia donated by celebrity supporters, which raised over $75,000. Following the success of the first online auction, Hollywood for Habitat for Humanity began outreach to high profile supporters, as well as new supporters, who wanted to support Habitat&amp;#8217;s mission which resulted in more than 70 signed hardhats. California Governor &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/12-arnold-schwarzenegger&quot;&gt;Arnold Schwarzenegger&lt;/a&gt; and First Lady &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1421-maria-shriver&quot;&gt;Maria Shriver&lt;/a&gt; were among those who autographed hardhats to help kick off this auction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I have had the chance to personally give the keys to several families moving into homes sponsored by the Ricky Martin Foundation in partnership with Habitat for Humanity, an organization I&amp;#8217;ve been involved with for many years. I&amp;#8217;ve been fortunate enough to see with my own eyes the difference a home makes in the life of a child,&amp;#8221; said Ricky Martin. &amp;#8220;Now, by simply bidding on an item in an auction, you have the chance to change lives and build hope.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Los Angeles continues to rank last in housing affordability and this kind of support helps us raise awareness, as well as much needed funding, to help low income families live in safe, decent homes,&amp;#8221; said Erin Rank, president/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CEO&lt;/span&gt; Habitat for Humanity of Greater L.A. &amp;#8220;These hardhats are very special as most were signed the day of an actual build and we are thrilled to receive these fun and generous donations.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other stars to sign the hard hats include: Chris Pine, David Archuleta, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/567-enrique-iglesias&quot;&gt;Enrique Iglesias&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1102-gavin-rossdale&quot;&gt;Gavin Rossdale&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1178-kate-beckinsale&quot;&gt;Kate Beckinsale&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1468-katy-perry&quot;&gt;Katy Perry&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1461-keith-urban&quot;&gt;Keith Urban&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1133-josh-groban&quot;&gt;Josh Groban&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/99-justin-timberlake&quot;&gt;Justin Timberlake&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1056-miley-ray-cyrus&quot;&gt;Miley Cyrus&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1590-neil-diamond&quot;&gt;Neil Diamond&lt;/a&gt;, Ne-Yo, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1517-pussycat-dolls&quot;&gt;Pussycat Dolls&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/970-taylor-swift&quot;&gt;Taylor Swift&lt;/a&gt;, Vanessa Hudgens and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1629-zac-efron&quot;&gt;Zac Efron&lt;/a&gt;.

  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/72-gwyneth-paltrow&quot;&gt;Gwyneth Paltrow&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/44-courteney-cox&quot;&gt;Courteney Cox&lt;/a&gt; were honored at the 14th Annual Saks Fifth Avenue&amp;#8217;s Unforgettable Evening benefiting the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/134-entertainment-industry-foundation&quot;&gt;Entertainment Industry Foundation&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; Women&amp;#8217;s Cancer Research Fund in Beverly Hills last night, February 10.&lt;/p&gt;

The Bruce Paltrow Fund, set up through The Oral Cancer Foundation and with support from the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;EIF&lt;/span&gt;, works to prevent oral cancer through public education, early detection and patient support. In 2008, Paltrow served as ambassador for &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;EIF&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/1072-gwyneth-paltrow-pushes-for-a-key-to-the-cure&quot;&gt;Saks Fifth Avenue&amp;#8217;s &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;KEY&lt;/span&gt; TO &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;THE&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CURE&lt;/span&gt; Initiative&lt;/a&gt;, appearing in a nationwide public service announcement to raise funds and awareness for women&amp;#8217;s cancers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Courteney Cox was presented with the 2009 Nat King Cole Award for her dedication to helping people, especially those near to her, who have battled cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The evening included a special performance by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/19-beyonce-knowles&quot;&gt;Beyonc&#233; Knowles&lt;/a&gt; and featured guests such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/92-jennifer-aniston&quot;&gt;Jennifer Aniston&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/734-david-arquette&quot;&gt;David Arquette&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/267-sheryl-crow&quot;&gt;Sheryl Crow&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1272-lisa-kudrow&quot;&gt;Lisa Kudrow&lt;/a&gt;, Laura Dern, Jennifer Meyer and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/920-tobey-maguire&quot;&gt;Tobey Maguire&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/303-angie-harmon&quot;&gt;Angie Harmon&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/293-jason-sehorn&quot;&gt;Jason Sehorn&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1133-josh-groban&quot;&gt;Josh Groban&lt;/a&gt;, Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/346-kirk-douglas&quot;&gt;Kirk Douglas&lt;/a&gt;, Jessica Capshaw, along with EIF&amp;#8217;s &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;WCRF&lt;/span&gt; honorary chairs Rita Wilson and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/188-tom-hanks&quot;&gt;Tom Hanks&lt;/a&gt;, Kate Capshaw and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/109-steven-spielberg&quot;&gt;Steven Spielberg&lt;/a&gt;, EIF&amp;#8217;s &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;WCRF&lt;/span&gt; co-founders Kelly Chapman Meyer, Jamie Tisch, Anne Douglas, Quinn Ezralow, Marion Laurie, and Saks Fifth Avenue Beverly Hills&amp;#8217; Vice President &amp;amp; General Manager Larry Bruce.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Neil Diamond Donates Money To Hurricane Ike Victims</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1590-neil-diamond&quot;&gt;Neil Diamond&lt;/a&gt; has donated the profits from merchandising sales on his recent tour to the victims of Hurricane Ike.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The singer &#8211; who is to be honored as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/195-musicares&quot;&gt;MusiCares&lt;/a&gt; Person of the Year in February &#8211; initially agreed to donate his merchandising sales from his shows last October to victims of the disaster, but has now turned over proceeds from every show he has played since then.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Hurricane Ike hit southern Texas so fiercely and has been forgotten about by the rest of the country &amp;#8211; but these people are still in desperate straits, and are in dire need of our help,&amp;#8221; he told &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CNN&lt;/span&gt;. &amp;#8220;I saw what was going on. The mayor of Houston took me around, and he told me about it and introduced me to some people. The next day, I drove down to some of the hardest-hit areas, and I just felt that I had to do something, and I felt that maybe my audience would help me out with it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The singer will be joined by performers such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/211-tim-mcgraw&quot;&gt;Tim McGraw&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/210-faith-hill&quot;&gt;Faith Hill&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/917-foo-fighters&quot;&gt;Foo Fighters&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/36-coldplay&quot;&gt;Coldplay&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1141-jennifer-hudson&quot;&gt;Jennifer Hudson&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/743-john-mayer&quot;&gt;John Mayer&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1133-josh-groban&quot;&gt;Josh Groban&lt;/a&gt; at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/1828-coldplay-and-foo-fighters-join-neil-diamond-for-charity-gig&quot;&gt;a charity show on February 6 at the Los Angeles&amp;#8217; Convention Centre&lt;/a&gt; to benefit MusiCares, an organization that provides a safety net of critical assistance for music people in times of need by supplying services and resources that cover a wide range of financial, medical and personal emergencies. The evening will also feature a fantastic silent auction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tickets for the event are available &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.grammy.com/musicares/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>David Arquette Skips Lunch To Feed America</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/734-david-arquette&quot;&gt;David Arquette&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1133-josh-groban&quot;&gt;Josh Groban&lt;/a&gt; and Herbie Hancock were among hundreds of people who skipped lunch on the eve of the inauguration to help raise awareness of hunger.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The stars led a rally outside Washington&amp;#8217;s Martin Luther King Library on Monday for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/426-second-harvest&quot;&gt;Feeding America&lt;/a&gt;, an organization that distributes food and grocery products through a nationwide certified member network, and increases public awareness of domestic hunger and advocates for public policies that benefit America&#8217;s hungry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It has been very much a hidden issue,&amp;#8221; said Vicki Escarra, the president and chief executive of Feeding America. &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s a little bit like this dirty little secret, if you will, that in a country like America, one in eight are struggling to get enough food to eat.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Arquette serves as Chair of the Entertainment Council for Feeding America.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The event &#8211; held in Los Angeles on Friday, January 9 &#8211; attracted an amazing array of celebrities, including Arquette&#8217;s wife &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/44-courteney-cox&quot;&gt;Courteney Cox&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/92-jennifer-aniston&quot;&gt;Jennifer Aniston&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/267-sheryl-crow&quot;&gt;Sheryl Crow&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/499-gwen-stefani&quot;&gt;Gwen Stefani&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1102-gavin-rossdale&quot;&gt;Gavin Rossdale&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/280-leonardo-dicaprio&quot;&gt;Leonardo DiCaprio&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/377-julia-louis-dreyfus&quot;&gt;Julia Louis Dreyfus&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/920-tobey-maguire&quot;&gt;Tobey Maguire&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1133-josh-groban&quot;&gt;Josh Groban&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/10-amanda-peet&quot;&gt;Amanda Peet&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1695-nick-lachey&quot;&gt;Nick Lachey&lt;/a&gt;, Kevin Connelly, Lukas Haas, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1267-jason-bateman&quot;&gt;Jason Bateman&lt;/a&gt; and many more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The event was held to help Shepard Fairey unveil his new range of artworks that raise awareness about Feeding America, an organization that increases public awareness of domestic hunger and advocates for public policies that benefit America&#8217;s hungry. Fairey is one of the world&#8217;s best known street artists.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each year, the Feeding America network provides food assistance to more than 25 million low-income people facing hunger in the United States, including more than 9 million children and nearly 3 million seniors.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Matt Damon Hosts ONE X ONE Gala In San Francisco</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/231-matt-damon&quot;&gt;Matt Damon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/490-wyclef-jean&quot;&gt;Wyclef Jean&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/639-carlos-santana&quot;&gt;Carlos Santana&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1133-josh-groban&quot;&gt;Josh Groban&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/734-david-arquette&quot;&gt;David Arquette&lt;/a&gt;, and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/356-african-childrens-choir&quot;&gt;African Children&amp;#8217;s Choir&lt;/a&gt; came together in San Francisco on Thursday night for a fundraising extravaganza to benefit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/350-onexone&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ONEXONE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The evening raised money to be distributed between organizations such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/634-h2o-africa&quot;&gt;H2O Africa&lt;/a&gt;, Feeding America, Water Partners, and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/491-yele-haiti-foundation&quot;&gt;Y&#233;le Haiti Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, and featured an auction that included lots such as the chance to feature Damon on the set of his next movie, &lt;em&gt;The Human Factor&lt;/em&gt;. The film &amp;#8211; which will be directed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1571-clint-eastwood&quot;&gt;Clint Eastwood&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; will tell the story of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/543-nelson-mandela&quot;&gt;Nelson Mandela&#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; struggle for freedom, and three people paid $20,000 for the opportunity to visit the set.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If Eastwood doesn&amp;#8217;t like the idea of having a lot of people around the set,&amp;#8221; Damon said, &amp;#8220;I guess my trailer&amp;#8217;s going to be pretty crowded with a lot of people playing video games.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Damon, Arquette, and Jean also took the time to visit the San Francisco Food Bank and help out by filling bags and boxes of food for the city&#8217;s underprivileged.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Damon&#8217;s philanthropic attitude is something he is interested in passing on to his own children: &#8220;It&#8217;s a hard thing to explain to a kid,&#8220; he told People Magazine, referring to poverty. &#8220;And it is also unbelievable the way other kids are forced to live. The way you have to parent them is to show them the world. Explaining the world can only go so far. You can read about devastation every morning &#8211; it&#8217;s on the front page of the newspaper &#8211; but when you actually go there and see it, you realize this isn&#8217;t something you can turn the page on.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Dave Dobbyn Promotes Hearing Awareness In Fiji</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You may have heard of &lt;em&gt;Heal The World&lt;/em&gt; &#8211; well, now some of the world&#8217;s greatest musicians are taking part in a campaign to raise awareness of hearing loss called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1180-hear-the-world&quot;&gt;Hear The World&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hear the World&lt;/em&gt; is an initiative by Phonak &#8211; a leading manufacturer of hearing aids &amp;#8211; that aims to raise awareness of the topic of hearing and hearing loss and to promote good hearing all over the world, and musician &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1501-dave-dobbyn&quot;&gt;Dave Dobbyn&lt;/a&gt; spent the weekend in Fiji doing exactly that.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;I see other people who support &#8216;Hear the World&#8217; like Harry Belafonte, Annie Lennox, Placido Domingo,&#8221; said 51-year-old Dobbyn, whose new album, &lt;em&gt;Anotherland&lt;/em&gt;, has just been released. &#8220;I&amp;#8217;m in great company when we&amp;#8217;re all thinking about our ears and our health. Your ears get fatigued like every organ in your body so to treat them with respect and keep the volume down.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One in five children in Fiji are profoundly deaf, and there is no audiology service in the South Pacific nation &amp;#8211; children with hearing loss are often not diagnosed until they reach school.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;A child needs to be able to hear sounds in the environment to hear speech and language in order to produce speech and to develop language,&#8221; said Logan McMeekin, a Phonak Audiologist who is fitting hearing aids &#8211; free-of-charge &#8211; to children affected by hearing loss in Fiji. &#8220;Our goal isn&amp;#8217;t to restore normal hearing we try and give them cues for awareness of their environment so they&amp;#8217;re able to be safe in their environment.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dave Dobbyn &#8211; who has had 10 songs in New Zealand&amp;#8217;s Top 100 Songs of All Time, including &lt;em&gt;Loyal&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Slice of Heaven&lt;/em&gt; &#8211; joins a long list of celebrities who support the &lt;em&gt;Hear The World&lt;/em&gt; campaign. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1079-amy-winehouse&quot;&gt;Amy Winehouse&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/158-annie-lennox&quot;&gt;Annie Lennox&lt;/a&gt;, Bobby McFerrin, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/602-michael-buble&quot;&gt;Michael Buble&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1464-common&quot;&gt;Common&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1914-dave-stewart&quot;&gt;Dave Stewart&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1217-dionne-warwick&quot;&gt;Dionne Warwick&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/67-franka-potente&quot;&gt;Franka Potente&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1133-josh-groban&quot;&gt;Josh Groban&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1343-jerry-hall&quot;&gt;Jerry Hall&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1276-harry-belafonte&quot;&gt;Harry Belafonte&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/398-joss-stone&quot;&gt;Joss Stone&lt;/a&gt;, Chad Kroeger, Diane Kruger, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/187-lindsay-lohan&quot;&gt;Lindsay Lohan&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/407-moby&quot;&gt;Moby&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1117-placido-domingo&quot;&gt;Placido Domingo&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/436-kelly-osbourne&quot;&gt;Kelly Osbourne&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/833-eric-roberts&quot;&gt;Eric Roberts&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/217-rod-stewart&quot;&gt;Rod Stewart&lt;/a&gt; are all ambassadors for the initiative, whose goal is to educate the general public about the importance of hearing, the social and emotional impacts and the benefits of available solutions for those with hearing loss. Rocker &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1082-bryan-adams&quot;&gt;Bryan Adams&lt;/a&gt; is the official photographer for the campaign, and his photos of the ambassadors can be seen on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hear-the-world.com/exhibition&quot;&gt;campaign&#8217;s website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Dave Dobbyn&amp;#8217;s message is simple &amp;#8211; don&amp;#8217;t take it for granted because the ability to hear is a gift. To see a video of him performing for Fijian schoolchildren, click &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.3news.co.nz/Video/ExtendedVideo/tabid/315/articleID/72444/cat/55/Default.aspx#video&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.

&lt;p&gt;Hyde Park was transformed into a giant birthday bash Friday night as 46,664 people joined &amp;#8220;birthday boy&amp;#8221; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/543-nelson-mandela&quot;&gt;Nelson Mandela&lt;/a&gt; and a stellar lineup of entertainers to raise funds and awareness for his &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/658-46664&quot;&gt;46664&lt;/a&gt; charity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It had been raining on and off all day in London, but the skies cleared just in time for the once-in-a-lifetime lineup of musicians and entertainers to take the stage in honor of Nelson Mandela&amp;#8217;s 90th Birthday. The event was hosted by an enthusiastic &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/150-will-smith&quot;&gt;Will Smith&lt;/a&gt;, and performers included Jivan Gasparyan, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/866-razorlight&quot;&gt;Razorlight&lt;/a&gt;, the cast of &lt;em&gt;Into the &amp;#8217;Hoods&lt;/em&gt;, Sipho Mibuze, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1099-leona-lewis&quot;&gt;Leona Lewis&lt;/a&gt;, Zucchero, Suzanna Owiyo and D&amp;#8217;Gary, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/152-sugababes&quot;&gt;Sugababes&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/158-annie-lennox&quot;&gt;Annie Lennox&lt;/a&gt; (who performed with the Agape Children&amp;#8217;s Choir), Emmanual Jal, Vusi Mahlasela, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/422-jamelia&quot;&gt;Jamelia&lt;/a&gt;, Loyiso, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/867-johnny-clegg&quot;&gt;Johnny Clegg&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1805-joan-baez&quot;&gt;Joan Baez&lt;/a&gt;, Eddy Grant, Kurt Darren, Simple Minds, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/351-brian-may&quot;&gt;Brian May&lt;/a&gt; and Andrea Corr, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1079-amy-winehouse&quot;&gt;Amy Winehouse&lt;/a&gt;, 9ice and Bebe Cool, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1133-josh-groban&quot;&gt;Josh Groban&lt;/a&gt;, Amaral, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1495-queen&quot;&gt;Queen&lt;/a&gt; and Paul Rodgers.

&lt;p&gt;After Jivan Gasparyan opened the show with an instrumental piece to accompany a moving series of photographs of Mandela, Will Smith took to the stage with his wife &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/81-jada-pinkett-smith&quot;&gt;Jada&lt;/a&gt; and announced, &amp;#8220;The party starts now.&amp;#8221; An energizing performance by Razorlight set the tone for the rest of the evening.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Quincy Jones introduced crowd favorite Leona Lewis, who sang her two top hits &amp;#8220;Better in Time&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;Bleeding Love.&amp;#8221; Lewis wished Mandela a happy birthday and told a touching story of how she and her family used to sing songs about him when she was young.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other birthday wishes came via a film of various celebrities who were unable to attend, including &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/49-david-beckham&quot;&gt;David Beckham&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/179-victoria-beckham&quot;&gt;Victoria Beckham&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/192-sharon-osbourne&quot;&gt;Sharon Osbourne&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/267-sheryl-crow&quot;&gt;Sheryl Crow&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/246-morgan-freeman&quot;&gt;Morgan Freeman&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/491-susan-sarandon&quot;&gt;Susan Sarandon&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Smith returned to the stage throughout the show, revving the crowd with a surprise performance of his song &amp;#8220;Switch,&amp;#8221; which included rap verses from his hit television show &amp;#8220;The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.&amp;#8221; Annie Lennox, a passionate &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; activist and staunch supporter of Mandela&amp;#8217;s charities, made a moving speech about a young girl she had met in Africa who was gravely ill with &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; but was able to make a miraculous recovery thanks to proper treatment and care. Before and after images of the girl were shown on the large screens behind Lennox, who then performed a song with the Agape Children&amp;#8217;s Choir. The crowd sang along as the lyrics &amp;#8220;We are together&#8230; We are family&amp;#8221; flashed across the screens.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Peter Gabriel introduced Emmanual Jal, a former child soldier in Sudan who sang a song dedicated to the British aid worker who rescued him and 150 other children. Gerri Halliwell introduced trailblazing South African music legend Johnny Clegg, who performed a duet with Joan Baez.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Immediately following this performance was the highlight of the night. Will and Jada Smith introduced the &amp;#8220;birthday boy&amp;#8221; himself, and Nelson Mandela was escorted onto the stage to thunderous cheers and applause. The concert performers gathered on stage and, together with the nearly 50,000 people in attendance, sang &amp;#8220;Happy Birthday.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mandela waved to the crowd and made a brief, moving speech. &amp;#8220;We say tonight after nearly 90 years of life, it&amp;#8217;s time for new hands to lift the burdens,&amp;#8221; he said. &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s in your hands now, I thank you.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Eddy Grant and Kurt Darren followed up Mandela&amp;#8217;s appearance with &amp;#8220;Give Me Hope Johanna,&amp;#8221; a song Grant wrote during South Africa&amp;#8217;s apartheid regime. Simple Minds performed, having also performed at the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute concert at London&amp;#8217;s Wembley Stadium in 1988; and celebrated English humorist Stephen Fry introduced Brian May and Andrea Corr. The most highly anticipated performance of the evening came next, as a recently hospitalized Amy Winehouse teetered onto the stage in platform heels to perform her hit songs &amp;#8220;Rehab&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;Valerie.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After a politically-fueled performance by Nigerian artist 9ice and Ugandan musician Bebe Cool &amp;#8211; who appeared on stage in bright orange prison jumpsuits emblazoned with &amp;quot;46664&#8221; &amp;#8211; Josh Groban sang with Vusi Mahlasela and the Soweto Gospel Choir. Spanish artists Amaral performed an acoustic number, and then Mandela and the audience were treated to a video of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/245-u2&quot;&gt;U2&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/26-bono&quot;&gt;Bono&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/257-the-edge&quot;&gt;The Edge&lt;/a&gt; singing Stevie Wonder&amp;#8217;s peppy rendition of &amp;#8220;Happy Birthday.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The penultimate act was Queen and Paul Rodgers, who performed a fan-friendly medley of Queen&amp;#8217;s greatest hits, including &amp;#8220;The Show Must Go On,&amp;#8221; &amp;#8220;We Will Rock You&amp;#8221; and &amp;#8220;We are the Champions.&amp;#8221; The crowd sang and clapped along thunderously.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The concert&amp;#8217;s finale featured anti-apartheid campaigner and musician Jerry Dammers, who organized the Nelson Mandela 70th Birthday Tribute. Dammers and Winehouse led the entire line-up of performers and the crowd in singing Dammers&amp;#8217; anthem &amp;#8220;Free Nelson Mandela.&amp;#8221; Formerly sung in protest against Mandela&amp;#8217;s imprisonment, the song took on a celebratory tone and was a fitting end to an historic event.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;All proceeds from the concert will go to 46664, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/544-nelson-mandela-foundation&quot;&gt;Nelson Mandela Foundation&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; campaign for global &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; awareness and prevention.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>More Artists Confirm For Mandela's Birthday Bash</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Multi-million selling classical pop singer &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1133-josh-groban&quot;&gt;Josh Groban&lt;/a&gt;, legendary folk rock singer &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1805-joan-baez&quot;&gt;Joan Baez&lt;/a&gt;, and a special appearance by Jerry Dammers &amp;#8211; one of the organisers of Artists Against Apartheid and Nelson Mandela&#8217;s 70th birthday concert, and whose song &#8216;Free Nelson Mandela&#8217; became a banner for the 80&#8217;s anti-apartheid movement in the UK &amp;#8211; are further highlights added to the forthcoming Nelson Mandela 90th birthday concert taking place in London&#8217;s Hyde Park on the evening of Friday, June 27.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These additional artist appearances were announced today by the concert organisers who said, &#8220;these three artists hold a special place with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/543-nelson-mandela&quot;&gt;Nelson Mandela&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The announcement comes only a week after singer &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1079-amy-winehouse&quot;&gt;Amy Winehouse&lt;/a&gt; confirmed she was adding her voice to those who will show their support for Mr Mandela and his &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/658-46664&quot;&gt;46664&lt;/a&gt; organisation by taking part.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The three newly confirmed artists will join a performance line-up that already includes &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1495-queen&quot;&gt;Queen&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/158-annie-lennox&quot;&gt;Annie Lennox&lt;/a&gt;, Simple Minds, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1099-leona-lewis&quot;&gt;Leona Lewis&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/152-sugababes&quot;&gt;Sugababes&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/629-shirley-bassey&quot;&gt;Shirley Bassey&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/866-razorlight&quot;&gt;Razorlight&lt;/a&gt;, along with more than a dozen of Africa&#8217;s most highly regarded artists including &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/867-johnny-clegg&quot;&gt;Johnny Clegg&lt;/a&gt;, Soweto Gospel Choir and Papa Wemba.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 90th birthday evening concert now boasts an extraordinary roster of some of the most important artists of the twenty years which have passed since London first came together to call for Mr Mandela&#8217;s release with the 70th birthday concert on June 11, 1988.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A virtual who&#8217;s who of music history, the artists performing for the celebration of Mr Mandela&#8217;s 90th birthday account for multi millions of record sales across recent years, and in their diversity reach out across popular music fans across all ages and music preferences.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;The 46664 message is one that needs to be heard in every corner of the world,&#8221; said a spokesman for 46664. &#8220;These artists between them reach into every one of our communities &#8211; upholding Mr. Mandela&#8217;s message that &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; is not a local issue, but a universal one.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jerry Dammers and Josh Groban both have existing links with Mr Mandela and the causes he has addressed in his years as one of the world&#8217;s most revered statesmen. Jerry Dammers was instrumental in staging 1988&#8217;s Nelson Mandela 70th birthday concert. Josh Groban, who emerged the biggest selling recording artist in the US last year, is already an Ambassador for Nelson Mandela&#8217;s 46664 organisation, appointed by Mr Mandela when the two met in South Africa in 2004.  Inspired by that meeting, Groban established the Josh Groban Foundation to help children in South Africa through education, healthcare and Arts.  His 2007 &#8216;Noel&#8217; Christmas album featured the African Children&#8217;s Choir.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Joan Baez provided one of the most influential voices of the 1960&#8217;s folk rock era and has continued to do so in the years that have followed. Along with Bob Dylan, her songs have defined generations of peaceful protest against various political issues.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Made possible through the support of Live Nation, the Royal Parks, and the generosity of the private sector including Mercedes-Benz, Zain and Investec, British Airways, Samsung, Intercontinental Hotels, and The Westbury, the June 27 concert proceeds will benefit Nelson Mandela&#8217;s &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; charity 46664 that he founded in 2002.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The three and a half hour 46664 Concert Honouring Nelson Mandela at 90 begins at 6:30pm on Friday, June 27.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Remaining tickets for the concert are available from www.46664.com or through Ticketmaster online at www.ticketmaster.co.uk.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Celebrity Doodle Sale For Genetic Disorder</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One of the most exciting celebrity auctions of the year will take place in May to raise funds for an organization supporting sufferers of a painful and disfiguring condition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;National Doodle Day will kick off on May 8 as part of Neurofibromatosis Awareness Month, and will mark the start of a week-long auction of over 100 celebrity doodles from stars such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/61-ellen-degeneres&quot;&gt;Ellen DeGeneres&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/117-scarlett-johansson&quot;&gt;Scarlett Johansson&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/834-goldie-hawn&quot;&gt;Goldie Hawn&lt;/a&gt;. Money from the doodles, which were hand-drawn by each celebrity on a 5&amp;quot; by 8&amp;quot; card, will benefit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/515-neurofibromatosis-inc&quot;&gt;Neurofibromatosis, Inc.&lt;/a&gt;, a national organization that supports NF patients, their families, and research into the disorder.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/files/doodle-day-logo.gif&quot; title=&quot;Doodle Day&quot; alt=&quot;Doodle Day&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Neurofibromatosis (NF) is one of the most common genetic disorders in the Untied States, affecting one in every 2,500 births. It is a disorder of the nervous system that causes tumors to form on the nerves anywhere in the body at any time, and can lead to disfigurement, deafness, blindness, seizures, bone deformities, and cancer. Half of the children born with the condition have no family history of the disorder, so it can strike in any family without warning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The doodle auction runs from May 8 to 18, and follows a successful auction run by the organization last year that featured one-of-a-kind works of art from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/373-cindy-crawford&quot;&gt;Cindy Crawford&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/503-kathy-griffin&quot;&gt;Kathy Griffin&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1235-kenny-g&quot;&gt;Kenny G&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1133-josh-groban&quot;&gt;Josh Groban&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/442-jay-leno&quot;&gt;Jay Leno&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1179-rick-springfield&quot;&gt;Rick Springfield&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/56-donald-trump&quot;&gt;Donald Trump&lt;/a&gt;, and The Fonz himself, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/385-henry-winkler&quot;&gt;Henry Winkler&lt;/a&gt;. However, the highest bid went to a drawing from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/998-barack-obama&quot;&gt;Barack Obama&lt;/a&gt;, which sold for a massive $2,075.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Funds raised from the Doodle Day auction this year will go to support education, advocacy, coalitions, and research for treatments and a cure. Other stars who have put their drawing skills to good use include &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/383-gillian-anderson&quot;&gt;Gillian Anderson&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/607-candice-bergen&quot;&gt;Candice Bergen&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/600-jeff-bridges&quot;&gt;Jeff Bridges&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1236-david-cassidy&quot;&gt;David Cassidy&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1237-dom-deluise&quot;&gt;Dom DeLuise&lt;/a&gt;, Garfield creator &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1238-jim-davis&quot;&gt;Jim Davis&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/377-julia-louis-dreyfus&quot;&gt;Julia Louis Dreyfus&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1003-david-duchovny&quot;&gt;David Duchovny&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/637-seth-green&quot;&gt;Seth Green&lt;/a&gt;, and many more. There is also an autographed photo and &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NCIS&lt;/span&gt; call-sheet from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/713-mark-harmon&quot;&gt;Mark Harmon&lt;/a&gt; on offer.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Stars Perform One Night Live For Hospital</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/17-elizabeth-willoughby&quot;&gt;Elizabeth Willoughby&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Singers &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/162-sarah-mclachlan&quot;&gt;Sarah McLachlan&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1133-josh-groban&quot;&gt;Josh Groban&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1082-bryan-adams&quot;&gt;Bryan Adams&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1083-jann-arden&quot;&gt;Jann Arden&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1081-ryan-dan&quot;&gt;RyanDan&lt;/a&gt; played a One Night Live concert last month in Toronto which &amp;#8211; along with a private $8 million donation from Aubrey and Marla Dan &amp;#8211; raised $12 million for the Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, a world leading hospital in perinatology and gynecology.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;Aubrey and I&amp;#8230; wanted to give back to the hospital to help provide the leading-edge facilities that mothers and their babies deserve,&#8221; said Maria Dan. &#8220;Our miracle baby [delivered at Sunnybrook] is now a 15-year-old teenager.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sarah McLachlan also remembers the 21 hours of hard back labor with her first child and caesarean section with her second, &#8220;I understand the need to have a really good facility, in particular for high-risk babies, and just to give mothers and babies every opportunity to get the best foot forward. I think this is a really good unit that they&amp;#8217;re building.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The generous gift and concert proceeds will be put towards the construction of a new state-of-the-art, 150,000 square foot home for the High Risk Mothers &amp;amp; Babies Program at Sunnybrook. The current facility is in serious need of space in which to conduct its life-saving work for the 4000 babies born there each year. The new complex, due to be completed mid-2010, will increase that number to 4,500.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;Donors like the Dans, and everyone attending One Night Live, enable us to help families at this most important time &#8212; childbirth,&#8221; said Dr. Jennifer Blake, Chief of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Sunnybrook. &#8220;We will be there for families with happy, uncomplicated pregnancies, but thanks to this wonderful generosity, we will also be able to give the best start possible to those moms and babies who most need the expert care for which our program is known.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;The success of this event brings us even closer to our $300 million Campaign for Sunnybrook goal,&#8221; said Jennifer Tory, Chair of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/938-sunnybrook-foundation&quot;&gt;Sunnybrook Foundation&lt;/a&gt;. &#8220;This has exceeded all our expectations.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
