  <title>Artists &amp; Writers To Swing For Charity Again</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1324-phoenix-house&quot;&gt;Phoenix House&lt;/a&gt; is delighted to announce that once again they will benefit from the Artists &amp;amp; Writers Charity Softball Game.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 61st annual Hamptons rite of summer will feature a lineup that includes: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/273-alec-baldwin&quot;&gt;Alec Baldwin&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/142-christie-brinkley&quot;&gt;Christie Brinkley&lt;/a&gt;, Carl Bernstein, Mort Zuckerman, Lori Singer, B. Smith, Dan Gasby, Greg Bello, Ken Auletta, James Lipton, Jeffrey Lyons, Juliet Papa, Edward Nahem, Kim Stolz, Bonnie Bernstein, Mark Ciardi, Rod Gilbert, Mike Lupica, Bert Sugar, Richard Reeves, and many more to come.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The event, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/1128-stars-swing-for-charity&quot;&gt;which last year drew a crowd of over 2,000 spectators&lt;/a&gt;, will take place on August 15, 2009 in East Hampton&amp;#8217;s Herrick Park. Celebrity batting practice will begin at 1 pm, and the Home Run Derby, sponsored by U.S. Sports Film Festival, will begin at 2 pm. The players will take the field at 3 pm. A donation of $10 is suggested for spectators. Students from the Phoenix Academy of Long Island will be selling hot dogs and other concession items.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was proud to serve as umpire for this event more summers ago than I care to admit,&amp;#8221; said former President &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/20-bill-clinton&quot;&gt;Bill Clinton&lt;/a&gt;, in a letter to the organizers. &amp;#8220;I know firsthand how much fun it is, and how dedicated the players, spectators, and organizers are to being good neighbors and contributors to their community. Though the rivalry runs deep and winning is serious business, this (mostly) friendly competition truly represents America at its best, reinforcing our fundamental values of community, responsibility, and compassion.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Artists &amp;amp; Writers Charity Softball Game first started at a picnic in the summer of 1948, in Wilfrid Zogbaum&amp;#8217;s front yard. The event has grown to include notable politicians, actors, musicians, publishers, editors, and television personalities, and is a beloved event of every East Hampton summer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over the years, spectators have watched as Bill Clinton, Rudy Giuliani, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/254-chevy-chase&quot;&gt;Chevy Chase&lt;/a&gt;, Jackson Pollock, and many others have battled on the ball field. The casual setting, dedicated fans, and a decidedly competitive match make for some great summer entertainment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Phoenix House is one of the nation&amp;#8217;s leading drug and alcohol treatment centers. In East Hampton, Phoenix House operates an outpatient center that offers group, individual, and family therapy; and in Wainscott, the organization runs the Phoenix Academy of Long Island, providing residential treatment to teens along with educational and vocational services.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Paul McCartney Launches Meat Free Mondays</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/176-paul-mccartney&quot;&gt;Sir Paul McCartney&lt;/a&gt; is spearheading a campaign to encourage people to &amp;quot;go vegetarian&#8220; for at least one day every week. Meat Free Monday is a food campaign to encourage the world to help slow climate change by reducing their meat consumption by having one meat free day a week.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The former Beatle is leading the star-studded campaign that includes &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1767-stella-mccartney&quot;&gt;Stella McCartney&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1745-yoko-ono&quot;&gt;Yoko Ono&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/407-moby&quot;&gt;Moby&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/273-alec-baldwin&quot;&gt;Alec Baldwin&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/118-kevin-spacey&quot;&gt;Kevin Spacey&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/105-ricky-gervais&quot;&gt;Ricky Gervais&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/486-chris-martin&quot;&gt;Chris Martin&lt;/a&gt; of &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/267-sheryl-crow&quot;&gt;Sheryl Crow&lt;/a&gt;, artist Jeff Koons and chefs Yotam Ottolenghi and Giorgio Locatelli.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;I think many of us feel helpless in the face of environmental challenges, and it can be hard to know how to sort through the advice about what we can do to make a meaningful contribution to a cleaner, more sustainable, healthier world,&#8220; said McCartney. &amp;quot;Having one designated meat free day a week is actually a meaningful change that everyone can make, that goes to the heart of several important political, environmental and ethical issues all at once. For instance it not only addresses pollution, but better health, the ethical treatment of animals, global hunger and community and political activism.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The UK&#8217;s Food Climate Research Network states that food production is responsible for between 20-30 percent of global green house gas emissions. The United Nations has supported the figures, saying that the livestock sector is &#8216;one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global&#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;A couple of years ago the United Nations came out with a report that said for people to eat less meat would have a big impact on the environment,&#8220; McCartney told Sky News. &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s all got a bit out of hand and I think people want to do their bit to bring it back into line, and this is an answer we&amp;#8217;ve got involved in. A few years ago you&amp;#8217;d say to people recycling is good. And they&amp;#8217;d stick it all in one bin anyway. I mean I was the same. Now you don&amp;#8217;t see that. You go round to people&amp;#8217;s houses and they&amp;#8217;ve got the bins and stuff. I think the time is right now for that idea.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Meat Free Monday campaign states that meat consumption has quadrupled since 1961, and poultry consumption has increased 10-fold.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The reality is a lot of people don&amp;#8217;t eat meat every day,&#8220; said Stella McCartney. &amp;#8220;You don&amp;#8217;t have to be a vegetarian to cut out one day of meat consumption. It&amp;#8217;s something anyone can do.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I thought this was a great idea,&#8220; Sir Paul told reporters at the campaign&#8217;s official launch yesterday. &amp;#8220;To just reduce your meat intake maybe by one day a week and this would seriously benefit the planet. It&#8217;s kind of easy to do. You&#8217;ve had too much over the weekend anyway and you&#8217;re all running down to the gym to try and work it off &amp;#8211; so just have a meat-free Monday.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Stella McCartney Honored By NRDC</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;Fashion designer &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1767-stella-mccartney&quot;&gt;Stella McCartney&lt;/a&gt; was honored by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/432-natural-resources-defense-council&quot;&gt;Natural Resources Defense Council&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NRDC&lt;/span&gt;) last week at their 11th annual Forces for Nature benefit, for her refusal to use leather or fur in her designs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;We believe it is important to honor individuals who understand that environmental stewardship can and should play a role in the work they do and the products they produce,&#8221; said &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NRDC&lt;/span&gt; President Frances Beinecke in a press release.&#160;&#8220;Both Stella McCartney and David Zaslav demonstrate that you can be protectors of the environment and leaders of industry at the same time. Their trailblazing work in the environmental arena raises the bar, and we hope everyone in the media and fashion world will take note and follow their lead.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In speaking out for fur- and leather-free fashion, McCartney says she would like to see an end to the 50 million animals that are killed each year to support the fashion industry. Besides the myth that the animals are all by-products of the meat industry, there are other environmental impacts that she pointed out, such as the water and chemicals needed to tan leather.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Benefit&#8217;s universal theme was all about green. Not only did actor &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/273-alec-baldwin&quot;&gt;Alec Baldwin&lt;/a&gt;, who was MC for the event, arrive in a hybrid &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SUV&lt;/span&gt;, but the menu featured local, organically-grown, sustainably harvested ingredients, the wine was organic and there was no bottled water. All these little things had a big impact.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;It&#8217;s a real honor for me,&#8221; said McCartney, &#8220;to receive this award from such a worthy organization like the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NRDC&lt;/span&gt;, fighting to preserve our planet&amp;#8217;s future.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Stars Raise Cash In Celebrity Charity Smackdown</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/23-delinda-lombardo&quot;&gt;Delinda Lombardo&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;South by Southwest (&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SXSW&lt;/span&gt;, Inc.) is a private company based in Austin, Texas, dedicated to building and delivering conference and festival events for entertainment and related media industry professionals.  Since 1987, &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SXSW&lt;/span&gt; has produced the internationally recognized Music and Media Conference &amp;amp; Festival and this year they&#8217;ve added a new twist.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SXSW&lt;/span&gt;, in conjunction with PayPay, have kicked off the first ever social-media smackdown and charity fundraiser at Mashable and Blurb&#8217;s &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SXSW&lt;/span&gt; Bash at Six Lounge in Austin.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Here&#8217;s how it works: PayPal has challenged nine celebrity teams to raise the most money for their chosen charities via social media sites and blogs. Fans can help by copying their favorite celebrity&#8217;s PayPal fundraising widget to their MySpace pages, Facebook page, or personal Web sites to encourage friends to donate.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &#8216;Smackdown&#8217; runs March 16-26, when PayPal will announce the winner and make an additional donation to the winning celebrity&#8217;s charity of choice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Participating celebrities include &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/273-alec-baldwin&quot;&gt;Alec Baldwin&lt;/a&gt;, who is raising money for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1205-actors-fund-of-america&quot;&gt;Actors Fund of America&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;The Actors Fund is the pre-eminent organization for assisting all of my friends and colleagues in performing arts and entertainment around the country,&#8221; said Alec Baldwin, star of &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NBC&lt;/span&gt; television program &#8220;30 Rock.&#8221; &#8220;Most of those who work in this business are not stars &#8211; they&#8217;re working professionals who have no place else to turn when times are difficult. Please help them continue their vital work with your generous support.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also taking part are:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Corbin Bleu, benefiting &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1120-stand-up-to-cancer&quot;&gt;Stand Up To Cancer&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;I am proudly supporting Stand Up to Cancer, because this organization is determined to bring an end to a disease that affects one out of every two men and one out of every three women,&#8221; said actor and recording artist, Corbin Bleu. &#8220;There are amazing causes in this Smackdown, but I hope I can put a spotlight on SU2C and its pledge to end cancer&#8217;s reign as a leading cause of death.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Ernie Johnson, benefiting Samaritan&amp;#8217;s Feet&#8232;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;I am honored to be the spokesperson for Samaritan&amp;#8217;s Feet,&#8221; said Ernie Johnson, famous &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/span&gt; reporter. &#8220;This organization demonstrates compassion&#160;to the poorest of the poor through servant leadership by washing their feet and telling them that they are loved. We are no different from them. We just happen to be born in the US and not a Third World country. I feel blessed and privileged to be the voice of these children who don&amp;#8217;t have one.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1353-kyle-petty&quot;&gt;Kyle Petty&lt;/a&gt;, benefiting the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/881-victory-junction-gang&quot;&gt;Victory Junction Gang&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;Victory Junction is excited to participate in this charity challenge, which will raise awareness and funds for children with chronic medical conditions and serious illnesses,&#8221; said &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NASCAR&lt;/span&gt; driver Kyle Petty. &#8220;In these economic times, raising money is more important than ever, and we appreciate the fundraising opportunity&#160;PayPal, in partnership&#160;with Mashable,&#160;has given us to continue to deliver life-changing camping experiences.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other participating celebrities include Brea Grant for Girls Rock Camp Austin, Elevenmoms for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/561-share-our-strength&quot;&gt;Share Our Strength&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/931-hayden-panettiere&quot;&gt;Hayden Panettiere&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1007-the-whaleman-foundation&quot;&gt;The Whaleman Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/477-linkin-park&quot;&gt;Linkin Park&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/551-music-for-relief&quot;&gt;Music for Relief&lt;/a&gt;, and Pete Cashmore for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.&#8232;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Donations can also be made directly on the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.charitysmackdown.com&quot;&gt;Charity Smackdown homepage&lt;/a&gt;, where details about the celebrity teams and their causes will be showcased.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Stars Go Downhill For Charity</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/273-alec-baldwin&quot;&gt;Alec Baldwin&lt;/a&gt; was one of a host of stars spotted on the ski slopes at the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise Sports Invitational in support of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/122-waterkeeper-alliance&quot;&gt;Waterkeeper Alliance&lt;/a&gt; during the weekend.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/480-celebrities-hit-the-snow-for-charity&quot;&gt;annual event&lt;/a&gt; raises funds to protect North American and Canadian waterways, and regularly raises over $1 million. The event was first held in 1986, and has gone on to become one of the most popular celebrity skiing events, attracting stars such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/128-pierce-brosnan&quot;&gt;Pierce Brosnan&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/142-christie-brinkley&quot;&gt;Christie Brinkley&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1467-tim-robbins&quot;&gt;Tim Robbins&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This year&#8217;s event is believed to have been attended by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/632-glenn-close&quot;&gt;Glenn Close&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/872-beau-bridges&quot;&gt;Beau Bridges&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1013-tom-cochrane&quot;&gt;Tom Cochrane&lt;/a&gt;, Peter Fonda, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1182-john-mcenroe&quot;&gt;John McEnroe&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/688-chad-lowe&quot;&gt;Chad Lowe&lt;/a&gt;. Also spotted making their way down the slopes were ER star Juliana Margulies, former Beverly Hills 90210 actor Ian Ziering, Olympic gold medalist Al Joyner, Sopranos actor Joe Pantoliano and environmental warrior and actor &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/566-ed-begley-jr&quot;&gt;Ed Begley Jr.&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;For the Canadian groups, this has been the primary fuel for our growth in Canada,&amp;#8221; said Mark Mattson, president of Lake Ontario Waterkeeper and the Canadian representative to Waterkeeper Alliance&amp;#8217;s board of directors. &amp;#8220;Kennedy has put more and more money into our groups. The event has really built a base in Canada to bring people in to get to know Kennedy and his message.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Kristen Johnston Bares Her Soul - And More - For PETA</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;Former &lt;em&gt;3rd Rock From The Sun&lt;/em&gt; actress &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1593-kristen-johnston&quot;&gt;Kristen Johnston&lt;/a&gt; has appeared in a sexy new advert for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/15-peta&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PETA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 41-year-old actress has stripped off for the ad and appears in a Lady Godiva-type pose on horseback in a bid to stop New York&#8217;s horse-and-carriage industry. She joins a host of other stars who have already raised awareness of the plight of the horses used to tow carriages around Central Park, including &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/502-pink&quot;&gt;Pink&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1524-chrissie-hynde&quot;&gt;Chrissie Hynde&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/273-alec-baldwin&quot;&gt;Alec Baldwin&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;According to &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PETA&lt;/span&gt;: &#8220;Horses used in the horse-drawn carriage industry are deprived of everything that is natural and important to them. These gentle, social animals are denied the opportunity to socialize with other horses, graze in fields, and run free.&#8220;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was blown away by how these horses live, or actually I should say, don&amp;#8217;t live,&#8220; said Johnston. &amp;#8220;The horses go from this horrible job, where they&amp;#8217;re pulling people through the streets of Manhattan all day, to this tiny jail cell in this building that&amp;#8217;s like a cramped parking garage. I&amp;#8217;d say to tourists considering coming to New York, there&amp;#8217;s so much amazing stuff to do here. But please do something else. Go ice-skating, see a show, go shopping. I hope within the next year that there are no more horse-drawn carriages.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The advertising campaign will debut in Central Park on Thursday, November 20, and has drawn support from New York City council member Dan Garodnick, who aims to phase out horse-drawn carriages and replace them with eco-friendly &amp;quot;horseless carriages.&#8220;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Stars Swing For Charity</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/254-chevy-chase&quot;&gt;Chevy Chase&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/273-alec-baldwin&quot;&gt;Alec Baldwin&lt;/a&gt; took their chance to swing for charity on Saturday, August 16, when they competed in the annual Artists &amp;amp; Writers Softball Game in East Hampton.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In what started as an evenly matched game, Chase turned the tide in favor of the Artists team when it was down 2-0 to eventually win 4-2, their second win in two years. Baldwin acted as umpire for the game. This year marked the 60th anniversary of the annual game, a tradition started by artists including Jackson Pollock and Willem de Kooning.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The event raised $60,000 for three charities &amp;#8211; the East End Hospice, the East Hampton Day Care Centre, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1324-phoenix-house&quot;&gt;Phoenix House&lt;/a&gt; &#8211; a facility that specializes in drug rehabilitation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chase and Baldwin were joined by celebrities such as Kim Stolz, Lori Singer, Mort Zuckerman, Jeffrey Lyons, and Mark Green. They join a long list of stars who have taken part in the game over the last 60 years, including &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/391-paul-simon&quot;&gt;Paul Simon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/142-christie-brinkley&quot;&gt;Christie Brinkley&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/58-dustin-hoffman&quot;&gt;Dustin Hoffman&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/5-alan-alda&quot;&gt;Alan Alda&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/408-pele&quot;&gt;Pel&#233;&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/20-bill-clinton&quot;&gt;Bill Clinton&lt;/a&gt;. This year&#8217;s game was played in memory of actor Roy Scheider, a veteran of the Artists team, who died in February at age 75.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Celebrities Join New York Cares Campaign</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;New York City has made itself some celebrity friends, and for the third summer in a row they are going to be out and about encouraging New Yorkers to volunteer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1126-new-york-cares&quot;&gt;New York Cares&lt;/a&gt; was founded by a group of friends who wanted to take action against the serious social issues facing the Big Apple. Their goal was to meet pressing community needs by mobilizing caring New Yorkers in volunteer service &amp;#8211; and this continues to be their mission today. They bring vital volunteer support to more than 850 nonprofit agencies, public schools and other deserving organizations throughout the five boroughs of New York, and help nearly 400,000 disadvantaged New Yorkers every year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The organization has just launched their celebrity advertising campaign &amp;#8211; which features &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/1042-jimmy-smits&quot;&gt;Jimmy Smits&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/273-alec-baldwin&quot;&gt;Alec Baldwin&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/459-penny-marshall&quot;&gt;Penny Marshall&lt;/a&gt; in a series of posters and ads throughout the city &amp;#8211; in a bid to coax more people into giving up their time to help others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;One of our long-term goals is for everyone to know New York Cares and support what we stand for &amp;#8212; that all New Yorkers can make our city stronger by helping their neighbors in need,&amp;#8221; said Colleen Farrell, Senior Director of Marketing and Communications. &amp;#8220;To help us get the word out, we approached New York celebrities who care deeply about our city. We are grateful to Whoopi Goldberg, Jimmy Smits, Alec Baldwin and Penny Marshall for their support of this year&amp;#8217;s campaign.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ads will appear in subways, phone kiosks, taxis, billboards, and in popular magazines and newspapers including &lt;em&gt;The New York Times&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Elle D&#233;cor&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;Martha Stewart Living&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;US News &amp;amp; World Report&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;TIME&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, and &lt;em&gt;The New York Observer&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Artists are Standing Up For Stand Up</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;As &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/748-jerry-seinfeld-stands-up-for-a-cure&quot;&gt;previously reported&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/815-jerry-seinfeld&quot;&gt;Jerry Seinfeld&lt;/a&gt; will perform in a benefit concert on June 2 at Madison Square Garden. The highly-anticipated show will be hosted by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/273-alec-baldwin&quot;&gt;Alec Baldwin&lt;/a&gt;, and accompanied by an &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.charitybuzz.com/area.do?id=763&quot;&gt;online auction&lt;/a&gt; to benefit Stand Up For A Cure.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stand Up For A Cure&amp;#8217;s strategy in eradicating lung cancer begins with the development of relationships. By creating meaningful partnerships with people in the entertainment industry, they gain high-profile artists who donate their time and talent. This brings much-needed attention and funding to their cause. By creating meaningful relationships with researchers, this funding is directed to the programs that show the best results and hope for progress in lung cancer research and improved treatments.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The key, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/832-stand-up-for-a-cure&quot;&gt;Stand Up For A Cure&lt;/a&gt; believes, is in public awareness. Lung cancer research is seriously under-funded, in part because public opinion believes that lung cancer is a smoker&#8217;s disease, even though 60% of the newly-diagnosed don&#8217;t smoke or have never smoked. The use of celebrities on TV, radio, in print and on the Internet helps to bolster awareness, and so do their concerts. Next in line after Seinfeld is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1311-brian-wilson&quot;&gt;Brian Wilson&lt;/a&gt; in July, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/614-dave-matthews-band&quot;&gt;Dave Matthews Band&lt;/a&gt; in September, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/916-andrea-bocelli&quot;&gt;Andrea Bocelli&lt;/a&gt; in the fall.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seinfeld has performed previously for Stand Up For A Cure, campaigning against the cancer that kills 450 Americans every day. According to the non-profit&#8217;s website, a new case of lung cancer is diagnosed every 3 minutes and carries a 5-year survival rate of only 14%.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tickets are still available through &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/1206922&quot;&gt;Ticketmaster&lt;/a&gt;, with prices ranging from $254.50 to just over $1500 for the Seinfeld &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VIP&lt;/span&gt; Offer. For more information on the Seinfeld &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VIP&lt;/span&gt; Offer, call  212-209-3871, Option #1.

  <title>Jerry Seinfeld Stands Up For A Cure</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;They say that laughter is the best medicine, and this June &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/815-jerry-seinfeld&quot;&gt;Jerry Seinfeld&lt;/a&gt; will prove the proverb when he performs a one-night-only charity gig at Madison Square Garden.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 53-year-old comedian will bring his special brand of stand-up to the Wamu Theatre in New York on June 2 for a show benefiting &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/832-stand-up-for-a-cure&quot;&gt;Stand Up For A Cure&lt;/a&gt;, a non-profit organization dedicated to eradicating lung cancer. Tickets for the concert, which will be hosted by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/273-alec-baldwin&quot;&gt;Alec Baldwin&lt;/a&gt;, cost $350 for general admission and are available through &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/1206922&quot;&gt;Ticketmaster&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The show will be accompanied by an online auction at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.charitybuzz.com/area.do?id=763&quot;&gt;Charity Buzz&lt;/a&gt;, which will also raise money for patient care, public awareness, and research into lung cancer. The auction will run from May 20 to June 11, and items will be announced closer to the time.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Stand Up For A Cure has also revealed they are organizing concerts from ex-Beach Boy &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1311-brian-wilson&quot;&gt;Brian Wilson&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/614-dave-matthews-band&quot;&gt;Dave Matthews Band&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/916-andrea-bocelli&quot;&gt;Andrea Bocelli&lt;/a&gt; later this year. Tickets are available from their &lt;a href=&quot;http://sufac.org/&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Celebrities Hit The Snow For Charity</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;Former Agent 007 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/128-pierce-brosnan&quot;&gt;Pierce Brosnan&lt;/a&gt; will put his skiing skills to the test in January, joining a host of other celebrities as part of a charity fundraiser in Canada.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Fairmont Banff Springs Celebrity Sports Invitational will be held at the Sunshine Village Ski Resort from January 17 to 20, and will involve stars such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/944-leslie-nielsen&quot;&gt;Leslie Nielsen&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/142-christie-brinkley&quot;&gt;Christie Brinkley&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/273-alec-baldwin&quot;&gt;Alec Baldwin&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1467-tim-robbins&quot;&gt;Tim Robbins&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The event, which has been held annually since 1987, will benefit the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/122-waterkeeper-alliance&quot;&gt;Waterkeeper Alliance&lt;/a&gt;, an organization founded by Robert J. Kennedy, Jr to protect North American waterways. Four days of skiing will be held on the slopes, in which members of the public can ski alongside celebrities, followed by a concert by former Doobie Brother Michael McDonald, a gala dinner, and an auction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tickets to the gala cost $500, and can be purchased from the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fairmont.com/banffsprings/&quot;&gt;Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel&lt;/a&gt;. Other stars to attend the event include Jason Priestley, Kelsey Grammer, Josie Bissett, and Elle Driver.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Baldwin Brothers Behind Breast Cancer Auction</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 private falconry lesson with Robert Kennedy Jr is just one of the more unusual items up for grabs in a new online auction this month, with the proceeds going to a charity set up by a brave woman who wants to benefit others affected by a deadly disease.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Actor &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/765-william-baldwin&quot;&gt;William Baldwin&lt;/a&gt; is behind the auction, which is being held on the Charity Folks website until the end of October. Twenty unique and once in a lifetime items are on auction to raise funds for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/359-carol-m--baldwin-cancer-research-fund&quot;&gt;Carol M. Baldwin Cancer Research Fund&lt;/a&gt;, a charity set up by Baldwin&amp;#8217;s mother after she underwent a double mastectomy in 1996. The 70 year old turned her tragedy into courage to assist other women who are affected by breast cancer, and the Fund, which has raised over $2.6 million since its inception, donates money to researchers investigating the causes, prevention, and treatment of the disease. Both William Baldwin and his brother, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/273-alec-baldwin&quot;&gt;Alec Baldwin&lt;/a&gt;, sit on the board of the Fund.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I was very lucky to get a significant number of people on board and committed,&amp;#8221; said Baldwin, who approached many of his friends to donate items to the auction. &amp;#8220;I think that sort of created somewhat of an aura, where people were like, &amp;#8216;You know, I want to be in on this&amp;#8217;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 44 year old star of movies such as Backdraft and the current &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ABC&lt;/span&gt; series Dirty Sexy Money has certainly managed to attract an impressive amount of friends. Lots include a day on the campaign trail with Elizabeth Edwards, the wife of presidential candidate John Edwards, an afternoon playing pool with Baldwin and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/254-chevy-chase&quot;&gt;Chevy Chase&lt;/a&gt; at Chevy&amp;#8217;s home, a walk-on role in the series &amp;#8220;30 Rock&amp;#8221; with Alec Baldwin, backstage passes to concerts with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/381-melissa-etheridge&quot;&gt;Melissa Etheridge&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/267-sheryl-crow&quot;&gt;Sheryl Crow&lt;/a&gt;, as well as front row seats to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/640-the-police&quot;&gt;The Police&lt;/a&gt; live at Madison Square Garden in New York. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/212-sting&quot;&gt;Sting&lt;/a&gt; has also donated an autographed bass guitar, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/711-bruce-springsteen&quot;&gt;Bruce Springsteen&lt;/a&gt; has supplied an autographed CD set. A number of vacation and dinner packages are also on offer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The auction can be viewed at www.charityfolks.com/baldwin, and more information on the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund can be found at www.findacure.org.&lt;/p&gt;
