Actress Kirstie Alley ran a special competition through Twitter last week.

The actress asked her fans to tell her why their favorite charity deserved to win cash she wanted to donate. But after struggling to pick a winner, Alley picked two of her fans’ suggestions and awarded each $1000.

The cash went to Soldiers’ Angels, which sends letters to troops in war zones, and SACA, a local food bank in Silverton, Oregon.

Nancy Cartwright – also known as the voice of Bart Simpson – is to host the 3rd annual Monte Carlo Poker Night to raise money for at-risk children.

The tournament – which takes place this Saturday, September 20, at Cartwright’s home in Los Angeles – will feature appearances by Brad Garrett, John Travolta, Camryn Manheim, Sinbad, Tom Kenny, Mickey Dolenz, and Kirstie Alley. All profits from the event will go to Devonshire PALS, an organization committed to a partnership between youth, the Devonshire LAPD, and the community. Poker tournaments held over the last two years have helped to raise the funds needed to build a new Youth Center for at-risk kids.

Jamie Gold, 2006 WSOP Main Event Champion, has signed on to Chair the Poker Committee, and poker pros expected to attend include Mary Jones, Jennifer Harman, Men “The Master” Nguyen, Marco Traniello, Todd Brunson, Sammy Farha, Kenna James, Kristi Gazes and many more.
