  <title>LTTS Exclusive: Chefs For Heroes</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/56-richard-barker&quot;&gt;Richard Barker&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was recently honoured to be asked to attend a &amp;#8216;Chefs for Heroes&amp;#8217; champagne and canap&#233; reception. I felt inspired and enormously proud to be part of the project.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Paul Gayler read us a truly moving speech about his son. He felt compelled to help the British Armed Forces after his son Lee was shot in the leg whilst serving with the Territorial Army in Afghanistan. Having cooked for Royalty and pop icons such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/201-madonna&quot;&gt;Madonna&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/598-mariah-carey&quot;&gt;Mariah Carey&lt;/a&gt; and the late &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/113-michael-jackson&quot;&gt;Michael Jackson&lt;/a&gt;, Paul&amp;#8217;s team of the finest chefs will be serving up the most sumptuous menu (using only the finest and freshest ingredients) to London&amp;#8217;s glitterati in a bid to raise &#163;250,000 for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/984-help-for-heroes&quot;&gt;Help for Heroes&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Photo: Chefs for Heroes&quot; class=&quot;photo story_wide&quot; src=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/photo/2851-chefs-for-heroes/story_wide.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Chefs for Heroes&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The funds raised will be channeled through &amp;quot;Help for Heroes, an independent charity that raises vitally needed funds to help support our wounded troops. Over the next year, the Charity&amp;#8217;s aim is to provide seven &amp;#8220;Hero Recovery Centres&amp;#8221; at garrison towns across the UK. These Recovery Centres will provide a home for the wounded and a much needed breathing space while they re-skill and prepare for the next phase of their lives, be that in the military or on and out into a civilian future.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Celebrity Chef &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1920-gary-rhodes&quot;&gt;Gary Rhodes&lt;/a&gt; commented: &amp;#8220;I think that the great thing about being a chef is living in one big family. Chefs for Heroes provides us with an opportunity to help members of that family. We are always happy to help men like Paul in their hour of need.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Chefs for Heroes tables are still available. You have the unique opportunity to dine with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1921-ainsley-harriott&quot;&gt;Ainsley Harriott&lt;/a&gt;, Anton Mossimann, Brian Turner, Aldo Zilli and Antonio Carluccio. &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VIP&lt;/span&gt; red carpet arrival will be followed by a champagne reception. The chefs will use live cook stations to create some stunning canap&#233;s &amp;#8216;live&amp;#8217;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Guests will be served a sumptuous 5 course menu:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Terrine of smoked maize fed chicken and wild mushrooms&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Baked Orkney scallop with leeks, ginger and coriander&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Roasted fillet of Scotch beef, oxtail Boulanger, sauce hermitage&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Iced souffl&#233; &amp;#8216;Eau de Vie Dantzig&amp;#8217;, warm Mirabelle compote&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Farmhouse Cheeses&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;Coffee &amp;amp; Friandises&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The event also features a &amp;#8216;money can&amp;#8217;t buy&amp;#8217; experiences auction, which features dinner at Coutts and a special break at Cliveden.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Live entertainment will be provided by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1940-bond&quot;&gt;Bond&lt;/a&gt;, who have been described as the best selling string quartet of all time, selling over 4 million records.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The event takes place on October 2 at Guildhall, London. More info can be found &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.chefsforheroes.org/&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Celebrity Chefs Cook For an Army</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;An Army marches on its stomach they say, so it&amp;#8217;s entirely appropriate that on the 2nd October, London&amp;#8217;s top chefs will be cooking up a five-course feast to raise money for troops wounded in Afghanistan and Iraq.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;em&gt;Chefs for Heroes&lt;/em&gt; gala dinner is being spearheaded by The Lanesborough&amp;#8217;s chef de cuisine, Paul Gayler, and dished up by an &amp;#8216;army&amp;#8217; of chefs from the City of London&amp;#8217;s top restaurants including Andrew Bennett (Sheraton Park Lane), Gary Klaner (Landmark Hotel), Martyn Nail (Claridges), Paul Bates (Intercontinental, Hyde Park Corner), Simon Young (The Jumeirah Carlton Tower, Knightsbridge) and Matthew Marshall (Chamberlains Events).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;They will be joined on the night by many of TV&amp;#8217;s favourite chefs who will host a limited number of tables. Imagine exchanging recipes and pleasantries over dinner with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/921-gordon-ramsay&quot;&gt;Gordon Ramsay&lt;/a&gt;, Raymond Blanc or Heston Blumenthal &#8211; all of whom are on the guest list! Other celebrity guests include Graham Wellesley, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1396-jeremy-clarkson&quot;&gt;Jeremy Clarkson&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1387-andy-mcnab&quot;&gt;Andy McNab&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Having cooked for Royalty and pop icons such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/201-madonna&quot;&gt;Madonna&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/598-mariah-carey&quot;&gt;Mariah Carey&lt;/a&gt; and the late &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/113-michael-jackson&quot;&gt;Michael Jackson&lt;/a&gt;, Paul&amp;#8217;s team of the finest chefs will be serving up the most sumptuous menu (using only the finest and freshest ingredients) to London&amp;#8217;s glitterati in a bid to raise &#163;250,000 for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/984-help-for-heroes&quot;&gt;Help for Heroes&lt;/a&gt;, a charity Paul felt compelled to help after his son Lee was shot in the leg whilst serving with the Territorial Army in Afghanistan.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Paul says, &amp;#8220;The situation in Afghanistan is forever in our minds with casualties reported almost daily in the news. Hospitals like Selly Oak and rehabilitation centres like Headley Court are having to deal with ever-increasing numbers of injured servicemen returning home in need of their care. As a father of a wounded soldier, I will be forever grateful for the brilliant care Lee received at the hands of the Headley Court team.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Help for Heroes raises funds needed for services and facilities like Headley Court to exist. In the next year, the charity aims to raise &#163;20m to fund seven &amp;#8220;Hero Recovery Centres&amp;#8221; across the UK, providing homes where the wounded can recover, re-skill, and prepare to return to their lives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The markets of London are kindly donating the ingredients for the evening&amp;#8217;s menu, so the proceeds from attendance go direct to Help for Heroes and the true beneficiaries &#8211; the returning wounded heroes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tickets can be booked at www.chefsforheroes.org. Anyone wishing to sponsor or otherwise get involved in making this evening a success can email richardb@looktothestars.org.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>VH1 Divas To Return For Charity</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;After a four-year hiatus, VH1 will bring back the legendary live concert event &amp;#8220;VH1 Divas&amp;#8221; by featuring some of pop music&amp;#8217;s most talented female artists &#8211; Adele, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/498-kelly-clarkson&quot;&gt;Kelly Clarkson&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1099-leona-lewis&quot;&gt;Leona Lewis&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1056-miley-ray-cyrus&quot;&gt;Miley Ray Cyrus&lt;/a&gt;. The &amp;#8220;VH1 Divas&amp;#8221; concert will be televised live on VH1 on Thursday, September 17 at 9:00pm.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Proceeds from the show will go to VH1&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/277-save-the-music-foundation&quot;&gt;Save The Music Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of education in America&amp;#8217;s public schools by restoring music programs in cities across the country, and raising public awareness about the importance of music participation for our nation&amp;#8217;s youth. Since VH1 Save The Music was created in 1997, more than $43 million worth of musical instruments have been donated to 1,600 public schools in 100 cities, improving the lives of more than 1.2 million children.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For the first time ever, these leading ladies at the top of their musical game will perform together live at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;BAM&lt;/span&gt;) Howard Gilman Opera House in Brooklyn, New York. Continuing in true &amp;#8220;Divas&amp;#8221; tradition, the evening will feature a night of unforgettable performances from various performers, presenters and special guests. Additional performers and presenters will be announced in the coming weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Fans can go now to Divas.VH1.com to submit a &amp;#8220;Diva Stories&amp;#8221; text or video testimonial that tells the world how their favorite diva has influenced their life. VH1 wants to hear from all Divas&amp;#8217; fans &amp;#8211; favorite songs, favorite moments and the craziest things they&amp;#8217;ve done to show their diva how they feel. Select testimonials may be featured online and on-air leading up to this year&amp;#8217;s live telecast. Users will also be able to browse and view other&amp;#8217;s testimonials as well as receive news and updates on &amp;#8220;VH1 Divas.&amp;#8221; In mid-August, VH1 will launch additional online elements including past performances and Divas-inspired music video playlists. Users can also follow all show-related news and details, as well as thoughts on this year&amp;#8217;s show from other fans by following the &amp;#8220;VH1 Divas&amp;#8221; twitter account at http://twitter.com/vh1divas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;An amazingly talented group of young women have successfully launched themselves into the global music scene since our last VH1 Divas show. We&amp;#8217;re very excited to have so many of them join us at this year&amp;#8217;s momentous event,&amp;#8221; said Lee Rolontz, &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;EVP&lt;/span&gt;, Original Music Production &amp;amp; Development VH1, and VH1 Classic. &amp;#8220;Adele, Kelly, Leona and Miley have all captured the world&amp;#8217;s attention with their talent and have earned their designation as VH1 Divas this year. Don&amp;#8217;t let some of their young ages fool you &amp;#8211; these women are among the best entertainers in the world and will continue to thrill music fans for a long time to come.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Premiering on VH1 in 1998, &amp;#8220;VH1 Divas&amp;#8221; became synonymous with some of the most memorable live female vocal performances in television history. The show quickly became a highly anticipated annual phenomenon, generating speculation among music fans and industry executives on who would be part of that year&amp;#8217;s telecast. Previous featured performers over the years included &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/446-diana-ross&quot;&gt;Diana Ross&lt;/a&gt;, Tina Turner, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/198-cher&quot;&gt;Cher&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/598-mariah-carey&quot;&gt;Mariah Carey&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/1330-mary-j-blige&quot;&gt;Mary J. Blige&lt;/a&gt;, Shania Twain, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/210-faith-hill&quot;&gt;Faith Hill&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1196-whitney-houston&quot;&gt;Whitney Houston&lt;/a&gt; and many more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Exclusive VH1 Save The Music &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VIP&lt;/span&gt; tickets and Gold Circle ticket packages will offer premium seating to the live &amp;#8220;VH1 Divas&amp;#8221; concert plus pre and post party access and an exclusive gift bag.

  <title>Christina Aguilera Becomes Spokesperson For World Hunger Relief Charity</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Christina Aguilera is giving hunger a powerful voice by becoming the global spokesperson for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1367-world-hunger-relief&quot;&gt;World Hunger Relief&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aguilera will help raise awareness of the hunger issue this fall by appearing in a new public service announcement, advertising and posters made possible by &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;KFC&lt;/span&gt;, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell. She will also get the message out by appearing on the World Hunger Relief web site, FromHungertoHope.com, and in other online hunger relief efforts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The initiative follows &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/598-mariah-carey&quot;&gt;Mariah Carey&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/1272-mariah-carey-becomes-poster-girl-for-charity&quot;&gt;poster campaign for the organization last year&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Global hunger has reached epic proportions this year &#8211; reaching more than 1 billion hungry people around the world &#8211; due to the convergence of the global economic slowdown; high food prices; increased competition for products that produce energy; severe droughts and floods due to climate change; and increasing demand from growing economies in Asia and South America.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s unacceptable a child dies every six seconds somewhere around the world from hunger,&amp;#8221; said Aguilera. &amp;#8220;By lending my voice for World Hunger Relief, I hope to raise awareness about the issue and move people from hunger to hope.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yum! Brands annual World Hunger Relief campaign is the world&amp;#8217;s largest private sector hunger relief effort to raise awareness, volunteerism and funds to benefit the United Nation&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/182-world-food-programme&quot;&gt;World Food Programme&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;WFP&lt;/span&gt;) and other hunger relief agencies.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We are extremely excited about Christina&amp;#8217;s passion to join the fight against hunger,&amp;#8221; said David Novak, Chairman and &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CEO&lt;/span&gt;, Yum! Brands, Inc. &amp;#8220;Christina&amp;#8217;s global iconic status will raise tremendous attention to this critical issue, and more importantly, will save millions of lives.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Since the World Hunger Relief launched in 2007, more than one million of the Company&amp;#8217;s employees, franchisees and their families have volunteered more than nine million hours to aid hunger relief efforts in communities worldwide. The effort has raised $36 million for the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;WFP&lt;/span&gt; and other hunger relief organizations and is helping to provide approximately 160 million meals and save the lives of about 4 million people in remote corners of the world, where hunger is the most prevalent.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At the Clinton Global Initiative last year, Yum! Brands pledged to do the following over the next few years: raise and donate at least $80 million to help &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;WFP&lt;/span&gt; and others provide 200 million meals for hungry school children in developing countries; donate 20 million hours of hunger relief volunteer service in the communities in which it operates; donate $200 million worth of its prepared food to hunger agencies in the United States and use the Company&amp;#8217;s marketing clout to generate awareness of the hunger problem, and convince others to become part of the solution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yum! and its brands have been committed to fighting hunger for more than a decade by donating more than $46 million of prepared food annually to the underprivileged in the United States. Since the company went public in 1997, it has donated more than $500 million of its food to hunger relief agencies in the U.S.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;WFP&lt;/span&gt; is the world&amp;#8217;s largest humanitarian agency and the United Nations frontline agency for hunger solutions. In 2009, &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;WFP&lt;/span&gt; aims to feed 105 million people in 74 countries.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Celebrities Sign iPods For Charity Auction</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tonic.com/&quot;&gt;Tonic.com&lt;/a&gt; has announced the launch of a new charity auction series. Leading celebrities from the worlds of music, film, television, and fashion have contributed an autographed iPod loaded with their personal playlist to be auctioned off, with all proceeds benefiting &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/324-music-rising&quot;&gt;Music Rising&lt;/a&gt;, a campaign founded in 2005 to replace lost or destroyed instruments of musicians in the Gulf Coast Region after the hurricane disasters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over seventy celebrities will participate in the auction series including &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/257-the-edge&quot;&gt;The Edge&lt;/a&gt;, former President &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/20-bill-clinton&quot;&gt;Bill Clinton&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/201-madonna&quot;&gt;Madonna&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/19-beyonce-knowles&quot;&gt;Beyonc&#233; Knowles&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/198-cher&quot;&gt;Cher&lt;/a&gt;, Donna Karan, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/183-warren-buffett&quot;&gt;Warren Buffett&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/425-christy-turlington&quot;&gt;Christy Turlington&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/29-britney-spears&quot;&gt;Britney Spears&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/487-michael-stipe&quot;&gt;Michael Stipe&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/499-gwen-stefani&quot;&gt;Gwen Stefani&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/598-mariah-carey&quot;&gt;Mariah Carey&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/186-stevie-nicks&quot;&gt;Stevie Nicks&lt;/a&gt;, &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/17-ben-affleck&quot;&gt;Ben Affleck&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/61-ellen-degeneres&quot;&gt;Ellen DeGeneres&lt;/a&gt;, Estelle, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/210-faith-hill&quot;&gt;Faith Hill&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/117-scarlett-johansson&quot;&gt;Scarlett Johansson&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/769-peter-wentz&quot;&gt;Peter Wentz&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1069-randy-jackson&quot;&gt;Randy Jackson&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/400-kevin-bacon&quot;&gt;Kevin Bacon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/71-gisele-bundchen&quot;&gt;Gisele Bundchen&lt;/a&gt;, Marc Jacobs, Ed Burns, Samantha Ronson, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1695-nick-lachey&quot;&gt;Nick Lachey&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/569-petra-nemcova&quot;&gt;Petra Nemcova&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/718-mandy-moore&quot;&gt;Mandy Moore&lt;/a&gt; and many others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each celebrity was given a new iPod which they each autographed and Tonic pre-loaded with a playlist of ten to twenty of the celebrities&amp;#8217; favorite songs. Beginning February 12 between one and five separate iPod auctions will simultaneously launch every week on eBay; playlists will be revealed to the public on both tonic.com and eBay when auctions are launched.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Music Rising is honored to be the charitable beneficiary of Tonic&amp;#8217;s innovative iPod auction series,&amp;#8221; said Bob Ezrin, Co-founder of Music Rising. &amp;#8220;My visits to New Orleans gave me a firsthand look at the devastation which tragically destroyed the lives of thousands. Every person who wins an iPod bid will directly be helping ensure that one of the Gulf Coast&amp;#8217;s greatest assets, its music, will rise again.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Everyone who has ever wondered what songs their favorite celebrities listen to in their home or on the road won&amp;#8217;t have to wonder much longer,&amp;#8221; said Pankaj Shah, &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CEO&lt;/span&gt; and Founder of Tonic. &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;ve compiled pre-loaded, autographed iPods from countless iconic celebrities to share with the public. By bidding on an autographed iPod, you&amp;#8217;ll be helping to aid in the continued rebirth of the Gulf Coast Region. The Celebrity iPod Auction Series is Tonic&amp;#8217;s first major campaign of 2009 to offer consumers an opportunity to create social good and we&amp;#8217;re thrilled to rally people behind a great cause.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>American Idol Gives Back $67 Million</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/49-david-beckham&quot;&gt;David Beckham&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/26-bono&quot;&gt;Bono&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/158-annie-lennox&quot;&gt;Annie Lennox&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1068-carrie-underwood&quot;&gt;Carrie Underwood&lt;/a&gt; have all accepted cheques from April&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/674-idol-gives-back-on-Wednesday&quot;&gt;Idol Gives Back&lt;/a&gt; event on behalf of the charities they support.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The show raised over US$67 million for charities such as the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/231-global-fund&quot;&gt;Global Fund&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/516-malaria-no-more&quot;&gt;Malaria No More&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/384-childrens-health-fund&quot;&gt;Children&amp;#8217;s Health Fund&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/192-save-the-children&quot;&gt;Save the Children&lt;/a&gt;, and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/226-childrens-defense-fund&quot;&gt;Children&amp;#8217;s Defense Fund&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I saw first hand with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/49-david-beckham&quot;&gt;my visit to Sierra Leone&lt;/a&gt; with [&amp;#8221;UNICEF&amp;quot;:http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1-unicef] last year how devastating malaria can be to a country,&amp;quot; said Beckham, who was presented with US$12 million by Idol winner &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1362-david-cook&quot;&gt;David Cook&lt;/a&gt; on behalf of Malaria No More. &amp;#8220;This money will help buy millions of bed nets and also protect many people, particularly the young children who are most vulnerable.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Annie Lennox was also delighted to receive $500,000 for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/669-treatment-action-campaign&quot;&gt;Treatment Action Campaign&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This is just to express my gratitude to everyone on Idol Gives Back, for putting together a show with a difference, and for inviting me to be part of it,&amp;#8221; she said in a statement. &amp;#8220;Because of this event, and the generosity of the viewers, who donated so kindly, I have been able to hand over a cheque for the amazing sum of $500,000 to Treatment Action Campaign, in South Africa. I can assure everyone that every single dollar contributed will go to excellent use, in the work to educate, assist and support people living on the frontline of the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/Aids pandemic, many of whom are women and children. Thank you so much.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bono received US$10 million on behalf of the Global Fund For &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;, Tuberculosis and Malaria.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;The Global Fund will keep thousands of people safe from &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; because American Idol has donated $10 million,&amp;#8221; said the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/245-u2&quot;&gt;U2&lt;/a&gt; frontman. &amp;#8220;That&amp;#8217;s &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;YOU&lt;/span&gt; people, who sent in your hard earned cash.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Idol Gives Back show featured appearances and performances by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/120-snoop-dogg&quot;&gt;Snoop Dogg&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/766-john-legend&quot;&gt;John Legend&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1056-miley-ray-cyrus&quot;&gt;Miley Ray Cyrus&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/158-annie-lennox&quot;&gt;Annie Lennox&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/598-mariah-carey&quot;&gt;Mariah Carey&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/420-gloria-estefan&quot;&gt;Gloria Estefan&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1166-sheila-e&quot;&gt;Sheila E.&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/751-fergie&quot;&gt;Fergie&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/311-billy-crystal&quot;&gt;Billy Crystal&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/157-robin-williams&quot;&gt;Robin Williams&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1048-peyton-manning&quot;&gt;Peyton&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1052-eli-manning&quot;&gt;Eli Manning&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/184-reese-witherspoon&quot;&gt;Reese Witherspoon&lt;/a&gt;, and pre-taped messages from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/49-david-beckham&quot;&gt;David&lt;/a&gt; and &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/226-kiefer-sutherland&quot;&gt;Kiefer Sutherland&lt;/a&gt;, &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/101-jim-carrey&quot;&gt;Jim Carrey&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/77-hillary-clinton&quot;&gt;Hillary Clinton&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/998-barack-obama&quot;&gt;Barack Obama&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/29-britney-spears&quot;&gt;Britney Spears&lt;/a&gt;, who couldn&amp;#8217;t be at the event, donate $25,000 to the cause.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>X Factor Charity Single Stays At The Top</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 remake of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/598-mariah-carey&quot;&gt;Mariah Carey&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8216;Hero&amp;#8217; by finalists in this year&amp;#8217;s &lt;em&gt;X Factor&lt;/em&gt; competition has topped the British music charts for the second week in a row.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/1467-x-factor-stars-top-the-charts-for-charity&quot;&gt;reported earlier&lt;/a&gt;, the track was recorded to benefit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/984-help-for-heroes&quot;&gt;Help for Heroes&lt;/a&gt;, which provides support for wounded servicemen and women, and the Royal British Legion&amp;#8217;s Poppy Appeal.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re doing this for one simple reason,&amp;#8221; said &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/511-simon-cowell&quot;&gt;Simon Cowell&lt;/a&gt;, who is behind the single&amp;#8217;s release. &amp;#8220;These are decent people who need a bit of help, a bit of support and all the proceeds of this record will go to these guys.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The song has become the fastest selling charity release of the decade and the fastest selling single of 2008. British prime minister &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1873-gordon-brown&quot;&gt;Gordon Brown&lt;/a&gt; has waived the usual 17.5 percent sales tax on each record sold, which means even more money than expected will go to charity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The track is available &lt;a href=&quot;http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/stat?id=BXGne8nU1cA&amp;amp;offerid=146261&amp;amp;type=3&amp;amp;subid=0&amp;amp;tmpid=1826&amp;amp;RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fitunes.apple.com%252FWebObjects%252FMZStore.woa%252Fwa%252FviewAlbum%253Fi%253D294248479%2526id%253D294248433%2526s%253D143444%2526partnerId%253D30&quot;&gt;through iTunes&lt;/a&gt; and wherever good music is sold.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>X Factor Stars Top The Charts For Charity</title>

&lt;p&gt;A remake of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/598-mariah-carey&quot;&gt;Mariah Carey&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8216;Hero&amp;#8217; by finalists in this year&amp;#8217;s &lt;em&gt;X Factor&lt;/em&gt; competition is expected to become 2008&amp;#8217;s fastest-selling single.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The track &amp;#8211; which is currently the top seller at iTunes &amp;#8211; was recorded to benefit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/984-help-for-heroes&quot;&gt;Help for Heroes&lt;/a&gt;, which provides support for wounded servicemen and women, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1327-the-royal-british-legion&quot;&gt;The Royal British Legion&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; Poppy Appeal.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;We predict it will become the fastest-selling single of this year,&amp;#8221; added &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HMV&lt;/span&gt; spokesman Gennaro Castaldo. &amp;#8220;Single releases tend not to be such a big event these days, but this one is definitely bucking the trend.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The track is out now and ready to download.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Andre Agassi's Grand Slam A Success</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/267-sheryl-crow&quot;&gt;Sheryl Crow&lt;/a&gt;, Natasha Bedingfield, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/908-the-killers&quot;&gt;The Killers&lt;/a&gt;, Lifehouse, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/314-ray-romano&quot;&gt;Ray Romano&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/217-rod-stewart&quot;&gt;Rod Stewart&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1103-david-spade&quot;&gt;David Spade&lt;/a&gt; were among the performers at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/1367-andre-agassi-grand-slam-for-kids-this-weekend&quot;&gt;13th annual Agassi Grand Slam for Children benefit concert in Las Vegas on Saturday night&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The concert raised funds for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/41-andre-agassi-charitable-foundation&quot;&gt;Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, which provides recreational and educational opportunities for at-risk boys and girls, and was preceded by an invitation-only concert on Friday that featured &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1312-james-taylor&quot;&gt;James Taylor&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1017-five-for-fighting&quot;&gt;Five For Fighting&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/539-john-ondrasik&quot;&gt;John Ondrasik&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Among the 1,900 guests at Saturday&amp;#8217;s Grand Slam were &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/820-stefanie-graf&quot;&gt;Stefi Graf&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/598-mariah-carey&quot;&gt;Mariah Carey&lt;/a&gt; and her husband Nick Cannon, the Duchess of York &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1418-sarah-duchess-of-york&quot;&gt;Sarah Ferguson&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1270-donny-osmond&quot;&gt;Donny Osmond&lt;/a&gt;, comedian George Wallace, and many more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/209-andre-agassi&quot;&gt;Andre Agassi&lt;/a&gt; said that while the event was a benefit, this year&amp;#8217;s focus was not on counting the dollars, but instead celebrating accomplishments made possible through the support of talented performers, generous sponsors, enthusiastic attendees and hard-working volunteers. Agassi summed it up as &amp;quot;a night full of heart.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Mariah Carey Becomes Poster Girl 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;Pop&amp;#8217;s favorite princess &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/598-mariah-carey&quot;&gt;Mariah Carey&lt;/a&gt; has been named an Ambassador for a major hunger relief charity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 38-year-old singer will front the Yum! Foundation&amp;#8217;s appeal to raise money for the United Nations&amp;#8217; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/182-world-food-programme&quot;&gt;World Food Program&lt;/a&gt;. She will appear in a series of posters at Yum&amp;#8217;s restaurant brands &amp;#8211; including &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;KFC&lt;/span&gt;, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silver&amp;#8217;s and A&amp;amp;W &#8211; in 36,000 stores in over 112 countries. The posters will be accompanied by a television campaign voiced by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/208-muhammad-ali&quot;&gt;Muhammad Ali&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; wife, Lonnie Ali.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Carey&amp;#8217;s part in the campaign is to encourage people to pick up a coded card at any of Yum&amp;#8217;s restaurants. The card will allow fans to download her song, &amp;#8220;Love Story,&amp;#8221; off her latest album, &lt;em&gt;E=MC2&lt;/em&gt;, at www.FromHungerToHope.com. For every download, Yum will donate $0.25 to the Yum! Foundation&amp;#8217;s Hunger Relief campaign.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Hunger is unacceptable,&amp;#8221; said David C. Novak, Chairman and &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CEO&lt;/span&gt; of Yum! Brands. &amp;#8220;As a society, we should not and can not tolerate the fact that 850 million people are starving and go to bed hungry every day. As the world&amp;#8217;s largest restaurant company, we believe it is our privilege and responsibility to find a meaningful solution to this critical problem. Yum! Brands is determined to be a leader in wiping out hunger. We are committed to raise awareness, volunteerism and money to address this problem. We hope to move millions of people from hunger to hope through our efforts.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yum! and its brands have donated more than $46 million of prepared food annually over the last decade to the underprivileged in the United States. The company is also the primary sponsor of the Dare To Care Food Bank based in Louisville, Kentucky, and has donated $8 million to the organization over the last 8 years.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Proceeds from the show &#8211; which was televised on &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CBS&lt;/span&gt; on Tuesday night &#8211; went to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1120-stand-up-to-cancer&quot;&gt;Stand Up To Cancer&lt;/a&gt;, which held its &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/1204-stand-up-to-cancer-a-huge-success&quot;&gt;own star-studded telethon on the same evening&lt;/a&gt;. The &lt;em&gt;Fashion Rocks&lt;/em&gt; show included a performance of more than a dozen divas &#8212; including &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/19-beyonce-knowles&quot;&gt;Beyonce&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/598-mariah-carey&quot;&gt;Mariah Carey&lt;/a&gt;, Natasha Bedingfield, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/751-fergie&quot;&gt;Fergie&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/593-rihanna&quot;&gt;Rihanna&lt;/a&gt; and Cyrus &#8212; who sung their new charity song &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/1142-female-stars-unite-for-new-charity-single&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Just Stand Up&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which was beamed live to the &lt;em&gt;Stand Up To Cancer&lt;/em&gt; television extravaganza.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This is the first time we&amp;#8217;re all together singing the song,&amp;#8221; said Bedingfield. &amp;#8220;It was really special. It was really like a sisterhood, like a bond&amp;#8230; We&amp;#8217;re all used to being the stars &#8212; the only star in the room &#8212; and it was really nice I think that everyone could just come together and really support each other.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also present at &lt;em&gt;Fashion Rocks&lt;/em&gt; were &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/692-hilary-swank&quot;&gt;Hilary Swank&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/931-hayden-panettiere&quot;&gt;Hayden Panettiere&lt;/a&gt;, with performances from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1100-kid-rock&quot;&gt;Kid Rock&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1461-keith-urban&quot;&gt;Keith Urban&lt;/a&gt;, Duffy, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/924-black-eyed-peas&quot;&gt;Black Eyed Peas&lt;/a&gt;, and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1517-pussycat-dolls&quot;&gt;Pussycat Dolls&lt;/a&gt;. But it was the sizzling duet between Timberlake and Beyonce on &amp;#8220;Ain&amp;#8217;t Nothing Like The Real Thing&amp;#8221; that stole the show.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And just to prove that there really is nothing like the real thing, Timberlake has also confirmed he will &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/444-justin-timberlake-to-host-golf-open&quot;&gt;once again host&lt;/a&gt; the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/823-shriners-hospitals-for-children&quot;&gt;Shriners Hospitals for Children&lt;/a&gt; Golf Open in October.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Following on from the success of last year&amp;#8217;s event, the Open will take place October 13-19 at the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;TPC&lt;/span&gt; Summerlin course in Las Vegas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The annual event has taken place every year since 1983 and has raised more than $10 million for Las Vegas area charities. Previous champions include &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/529-tiger-woods&quot;&gt;Tiger Woods&lt;/a&gt;, Greg Norman, Davis Love &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;III&lt;/span&gt;, Paul Azinger, Jim Furyk, Curtis Strange and Fuzzy Zoeller.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shriners Hospitals for Children is a network of facilities in North America that provides superior medical care at no charge to children under the age of 18, and more information about the event &#8211; including how to get tickets &#8211; can be found at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.jtshrinersopen.com/tournament.html&quot;&gt;Justin Timberlake Shriners Golf Open website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Stand Up To Cancer A Huge Success</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 multitude of stars came out on Friday night as part of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1120-stand-up-to-cancer&quot;&gt;Stand Up To Cancer&lt;/a&gt; television extravaganza to raise money for cancer research.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The hour-long program &#8211; simulcast live on &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NBC&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ABC&lt;/span&gt;, and &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CBS&lt;/span&gt; &#8211; featured celebrities such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/88-jennifer-garner&quot;&gt;Jennifer Garner&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/73-halle-berry&quot;&gt;Halle Berry&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/496-forest-whitaker&quot;&gt;Forest Whitaker&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/689-casey-affleck&quot;&gt;Casey Affleck&lt;/a&gt; reading accounts of people battling cancer, as well as musical items, comedy sketches, and the opportunity for people to ring up and pledge donations &#8211; with 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/900-america-ferrera&quot;&gt;America Ferrera&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/628-kirsten-dunst&quot;&gt;Kirsten Dunst&lt;/a&gt; answering the phones.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This is an absolutely historic night, thanks to the unbelievable generosity of the three networks,&amp;#8221; event organiser, producer and cancer survivor Laura Ziskin told the audience at Los Angeles&amp;#8217; Kodak Theatre.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The biggest surprise of the night was the appearance of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1690-patrick-swayze&quot;&gt;Patrick Swayze&lt;/a&gt;, who was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer earlier this year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;He looks amazing,&amp;#8221; former basketball player &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1240-charles-barkley&quot;&gt;Charles Barkley&lt;/a&gt; told People Magazine. &amp;#8220;For me, seeing Patrick Swayze, someone who is actually fighting this disease, was the best part of the show. Seeing him in person was amazing.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The idea behind the event was that it is the lack of funding &#8211; and not just research &#8211; that is slowing the advance of cancer prevention and treatment, and over $100 million has been raised since the Stand Up To Cancer initiative was launched earlier this year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The telethon &#8211; which was viewed by over 10.5 million people &#8211; also featured performances by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/381-melissa-etheridge&quot;&gt;Melissa Etheridge&lt;/a&gt;, &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/1312-james-taylor&quot;&gt;James Taylor&lt;/a&gt;, as well as the television premiere of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/1142-female-stars-unite-for-new-charity-single&quot;&gt;star-studded charitable single&lt;/a&gt; &lt;em&gt;Just Stand Up&lt;/em&gt; performed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/598-mariah-carey&quot;&gt;Mariah Carey&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/19-beyonce-knowles&quot;&gt;Beyonc&#233; Knowles&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1330-mary-j-blige&quot;&gt;Mary J. Blige&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/593-rihanna&quot;&gt;Rihanna&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/751-fergie&quot;&gt;Fergie&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/1056-miley-ray-cyrus&quot;&gt;Miley Ray Cyrus&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/381-melissa-etheridge&quot;&gt;Melissa Etheridge&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1567-ashanti&quot;&gt;Ashanti&lt;/a&gt;, Natasha Bedingfield, Keyshia Cole, Ciara, &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/1016-leann-rimes&quot;&gt;LeAnn Rimes&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1068-carrie-underwood&quot;&gt;Carrie Underwood&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;em&gt;Everybody Loves Raymond&lt;/em&gt; star &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1648-brad-garrett&quot;&gt;Brad Garrett&lt;/a&gt; underwent a prostate examination on the show, and cartoon character Homer Simpson had a colonoscopy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other stars who were part of the show included &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/117-scarlett-johansson&quot;&gt;Scarlett Johansson&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/8-meryl-streep&quot;&gt;Meryl Streep&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1362-david-cook&quot;&gt;David Cook&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/39-christina-applegate&quot;&gt;Christina Applegate&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/480-lance-armstrong&quot;&gt;Lance Armstrong&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/286-jack-black&quot;&gt;Jack Black&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/692-hilary-swank&quot;&gt;Hilary Swank&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/537-jimmy-fallon&quot;&gt;Jimmy Fallon&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/229-keanu-reeves&quot;&gt;Keanu Reeves&lt;/a&gt;, all of whom wanted to do something positive to help the 550,000 Americans and six million people worldwide who die from cancer each year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As part of Stand Up To Cancer&amp;#8217;s efforts, there is also an auction running on eBay that offers the chance to meet the cast of celebrities such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/136-katie-couric&quot;&gt;Katie Couric&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/360-stephen-colbert&quot;&gt;Stephen Colbert&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/442-jay-leno&quot;&gt;Jay Leno&lt;/a&gt;. It runs until September 15, and can be accessed through &lt;a href=&quot;http://cgi3.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&amp;amp;userid=standup2cancer&quot;&gt;eBay&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Doug Ulman, President of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/487-lance-armstrong-foundation&quot;&gt;Lance Armstrong Foundation&lt;/a&gt; says, &amp;#8220;Inspired to act by their own personal experiences with cancer, the Stand Up to Cancer team recognizes that we can no longer rely on the current system alone to give us the breakthroughs we need. They are calling on the public to help take matters into our own hands, investing in a revolution that will change the way scientists and clinicians work to understand and treat cancer. Stand Up To Cancer is more than a rallying cry. It is a galvanizing force created to urgently move cancer research forward.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Tonight&amp;#8217;s program is raising funds to build &amp;#8220;Dream Teams&amp;#8221; made up of scientists, clinicians, technicians and other experts.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Fashion Concert Stands Up To Cancer</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/598-mariah-carey&quot;&gt;Mariah Carey&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/19-beyonce-knowles&quot;&gt;Beyonc&#233; Knowles&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/593-rihanna&quot;&gt;Rihanna&lt;/a&gt; have been revealed as some of the acts confirmed to perform at this year&amp;#8217;s New York Fashion Rocks concert.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The concert, which will take place on September 5, first took New York&lt;br /&gt;
Fashion Week by storm in 2004 and still remains one of the hottest events on the celebrity charity calendar. The legendary Radio City Music Hall will once again play host to the star-studded live event, celebrating the powerful relationship between fashion and music. The concert will air the following Tuesday night in a two-hour special on the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CBS&lt;/span&gt; television network (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Proceeds from the event will benefit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1120-stand-up-to-cancer&quot;&gt;Stand Up To Cancer&lt;/a&gt;, whose own &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/1023-stand-up-to-cancer-sherry-lansing-tells-us-how-and-why&quot;&gt;television special&lt;/a&gt; will go to air on September 5.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In just five years, Fashion Rocks has become one of the most exciting multi-media events of the year,&amp;#8221; said Richard Beckman, president of Conde Nast Media Group. &amp;#8220;Whether on stage at the live event, during the show&amp;#8217;s broadcast or in the pages of the magazine, Fashion Rocks uniquely celebrates the intersection of two of the most sexy cultural paradigms; fashion and music. This year, we have a spectacular line-up of talent and performances that will take the show to a whole new level.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other performers confirmed to appear include &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1461-keith-urban&quot;&gt;Keith Urban&lt;/a&gt;, Chris Brown, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1100-kid-rock&quot;&gt;Kid Rock&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/751-fergie&quot;&gt;Fergie&lt;/a&gt;, Lil Wayne, and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/924-black-eyed-peas&quot;&gt;Black Eyed Peas&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Idol Gives Back On Wednesday</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;It will be raining philanthropic celebrities on Wednesday night when &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/580-american-idol-announces-second-annual-charity-show&quot;&gt;American Idol Gives Back&lt;/a&gt; airs on the Fox Network. The &amp;#8220;star clouds&amp;#8221; are set to burst with a gala of music, fun, appearances, and surprises &amp;#8211; all in the name of charity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Idol&lt;/em&gt; host &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1249-ryan-seacrest&quot;&gt;Ryan Seacrest&lt;/a&gt; will serve as Master of Ceremonies for the event, which was taped in front of a lively audience at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday night, and producers expect this year&amp;#8217;s event to raise over $100 million for charity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Tonight isn&amp;#8217;t just about raising money,&amp;#8221; said &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/27-brad-pitt&quot;&gt;Brad Pitt&lt;/a&gt;, one of the many guests to attend the gala. &amp;#8220;Sometimes, to help people, we&amp;#8217;ve got to travel outside of our comfort zone to really understand another situation.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Pitt&amp;#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/859-make-it-right&quot;&gt;Make It Right&lt;/a&gt; campaign, which he launched to rebuild New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, is one of many good causes to benefit from the event, which last year &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/425-idol-gives-back-to-children&quot;&gt;netted over $76 million&lt;/a&gt; for charity. Other organizations to benefit this year include the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/231-global-fund&quot;&gt;Global Fund&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/516-malaria-no-more&quot;&gt;Malaria No More&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/384-childrens-health-fund&quot;&gt;Children&amp;#8217;s Health Fund&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/192-save-the-children&quot;&gt;Save the Children&lt;/a&gt;, and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/226-childrens-defense-fund&quot;&gt;Children&amp;#8217;s Defense Fund&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s not about self-promoting,&amp;#8221; said former &lt;em&gt;Idol&lt;/em&gt; winner &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1068-carrie-underwood&quot;&gt;Carrie Underwood&lt;/a&gt;, who will perform on the show. &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s not about singing your latest single. It&amp;#8217;s not about trying to be the most downloaded whatever on iTunes. It&amp;#8217;s all about getting people to call in and do something.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Viewers of the show on Wednesday can expect performances by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/120-snoop-dogg&quot;&gt;Snoop Dogg&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/766-john-legend&quot;&gt;John Legend&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1056-miley-ray-cyrus&quot;&gt;Miley Ray Cyrus&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/158-annie-lennox&quot;&gt;Annie Lennox&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/598-mariah-carey&quot;&gt;Mariah Carey&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/420-gloria-estefan&quot;&gt;Gloria Estefan&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1166-sheila-e&quot;&gt;Sheila E.&lt;/a&gt;, as well as a surprise duet between &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/751-fergie&quot;&gt;Fergie&lt;/a&gt; and Heart. The show will also be sprinkled with appearances from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/311-billy-crystal&quot;&gt;Billy Crystal&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/157-robin-williams&quot;&gt;Robin Williams&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1048-peyton-manning&quot;&gt;Peyton&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1052-eli-manning&quot;&gt;Eli Manning&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/184-reese-witherspoon&quot;&gt;Reese Witherspoon&lt;/a&gt;, and pre-taped messages from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/49-david-beckham&quot;&gt;David&lt;/a&gt; and &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/226-kiefer-sutherland&quot;&gt;Kiefer Sutherland&lt;/a&gt;, &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/101-jim-carrey&quot;&gt;Jim Carrey&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/77-hillary-clinton&quot;&gt;Hillary Clinton&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/998-barack-obama&quot;&gt;Barack Obama&lt;/a&gt; will also be shown.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>American Idol Announces Second Annual Charity Show</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;American Idol fans and readers of &lt;em&gt;Look To The Stars&lt;/em&gt; should mark April 9 in their diaries, as that is the date set for the second annual &amp;#8220;Idol Gives Back&amp;#8221; charity show.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Fox Network announced the date yesterday, and the guest lineup already includes &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/26-bono&quot;&gt;Bono&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/27-brad-pitt&quot;&gt;Brad Pitt&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1056-miley-ray-cyrus&quot;&gt;Miley Ray Cyrus&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/751-fergie&quot;&gt;Fergie&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/1048-peyton-manning&quot;&gt;Peyton Manning&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1052-eli-manning&quot;&gt;Eli Manning&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/766-john-legend&quot;&gt;John Legend&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/598-mariah-carey&quot;&gt;Mariah Carey&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/158-annie-lennox&quot;&gt;Annie Lennox&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/184-reese-witherspoon&quot;&gt;Reese Witherspoon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/120-snoop-dogg&quot;&gt;Snoop Dogg&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1070-chris-daughtry&quot;&gt;Chris Daughtry&lt;/a&gt;, with more names to be added in the next few weeks.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/201-idols-to-give-back-on-tv-special&quot;&gt;Last year&amp;#8217;s show&lt;/a&gt;, emceed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/61-ellen-degeneres&quot;&gt;Ellen DeGeneres&lt;/a&gt;, raised a phenomenal &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/425-idol-gives-back-to-children&quot;&gt;$76 million&lt;/a&gt; to benefit underprivileged children in America and overseas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;American Idol is fast becoming a vehicle for good deeds. In 2007, former Idol winner Carrie Underwood visited children in Johannesburg, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/725-clay-aiken&quot;&gt;Clay Aiken&lt;/a&gt; took a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/536-clay-aiken-visits-mexico-with-unicef&quot;&gt;trip&lt;/a&gt; to Mexico with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1-unicef&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;UNICEF&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and Idol judge &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1069-randy-jackson&quot;&gt;Randy Jackson&lt;/a&gt; toured New Orleans and the region devastated by Hurricane Katrina. Jackson worked with programs backed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/192-save-the-children&quot;&gt;Save the Children&lt;/a&gt;, and because of that trip has been named the organization&amp;#8217;s first U.S. programs ambassador.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mark Shriver, managing director of US programs for Save the Children, said &amp;#8220;Idol Gives Back&amp;#8221; is crucial for raising awareness about children in poverty and quickly provides money to programs that help.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;American Idol is fantastic for raising the visibility of poverty in the U.S.,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Celebrities Clean Out Their Closets 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;Is your closet looking a little empty? Or maybe a little boring? Have the moths eaten holes in your favorite frock? Well, never fear, help is here &#8211; in the form of a couple of celebrity auctions for great causes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;March will see the opening of Katherine Heigl&amp;#8217;s new film &lt;em&gt;27 Dresses&lt;/em&gt;, and to mark the occasion, 20th Century Fox is auctioning 27 celebrity dresses on eBay. Fabulous frocks from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/573-heidi-klum&quot;&gt;Heidi Klum&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/463-thandie-newton&quot;&gt;Thandie Newton&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/598-mariah-carey&quot;&gt;Mariah Carey&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/559-geri-halliwell&quot;&gt;Geri Halliwell&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1008-naomi-campbell&quot;&gt;Naomi Campbell&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/927-maggie-gyllenhaal&quot;&gt;Maggie Gyllenhaal&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/152-sugababes&quot;&gt;Alesha Dixon&lt;/a&gt; will be up for sale in the special event, with all proceeds going to the Lavender Trust, an initiative of the UK charity &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/163-breast-cancer-care&quot;&gt;Breast Cancer Care&lt;/a&gt; to raise money for young breast cancer sufferers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The auction also features a stunning white John Galliano dress worn by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/406-kylie-minogue&quot;&gt;Kylie Minogue&lt;/a&gt; to Cannes 2007, and a full length silver halter top belonging to her sister, Danni Minogue. The auction starts on &lt;a href=&quot;http://members.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&amp;amp;userid=20thcenturyfox2008&quot;&gt;eBay&lt;/a&gt; at 7pm on March 4, and a different dress will be auctioned every day.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If accessories are more your thing, then an exciting auction being held in Britain may be of interest. The Grace House North East Children&amp;#8217;s Appeal Celebrity Bag Auction features a range of bags donated by some of England&amp;#8217;s top stars, including members of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/418-girls-aloud&quot;&gt;Girls Aloud&lt;/a&gt;, as well as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/421-judi-dench&quot;&gt;Dame Judi Dench&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1458-twiggy&quot;&gt;Twiggy&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1418-sarah-duchess-of-york&quot;&gt;Sarah Ferguson&lt;/a&gt;, celebrity chef Ainsley Hariott, and newsreader Kirsty Young.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The event, to be held at the Apartment Bar in Newcastle-upon-Tyne on March 6, is sponsored by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.makoosh.com/&quot;&gt;Makoosh&lt;/a&gt;, an online jewelry store, and will raise money to build the region&amp;#8217;s first hospice for terminally ill children. The auction follows a similar event held last year, which raised $19,500, and featured items donated by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/158-annie-lennox&quot;&gt;Annie Lennox&lt;/a&gt; and Graham Norton.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It is fabulous to see so many household names come out in force to support Grace House by donating their favourite handbags and manbags to be auctioned,&amp;#8221; said &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/919-grace-house&quot;&gt;Grace House&lt;/a&gt; Fundraising Assistant Sumera Bashir. &amp;#8220;I would like to thank them all for making this event possible.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Melua Calls On TV Bosses To Support Charity</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/1-steve-purcell&quot;&gt;Steve Purcell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/167-katie-melua&quot;&gt;Katie Melua&lt;/a&gt; has asked the producers of the hit British TV talent show &lt;em&gt;The X Factor&lt;/em&gt; to donate the proceeds from the show&amp;#8217;s forthcoming Christmas single to charity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The winner of the series final on December 15th will release a for-profit cover of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/598-mariah-carey&quot;&gt;Mariah Carey&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; song &lt;em&gt;When You Believe&lt;/em&gt;. Melua is herself releasing a duet rendition of &lt;em&gt;What A Wonderful World&lt;/em&gt; with late jazz singer Eva Cassidy to raise money for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/75-red-cross&quot;&gt;Red Cross&lt;/a&gt; this Christmas, and wants charities to benefit more from the annual race for the number-one spot in the charts.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;In recent years the whole Christmas number one thing hasn&amp;#8217;t been focused on the Christmas spirit,&amp;#8221; said Melua.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m not saying What A Wonderful World is a Christmas song, it obviously isn&amp;#8217;t, but what it&amp;#8217;s raising money for and awareness for is very much in the Christmas spirit. Maybe this will encourage The X Factor to donate all their money to charity. I think they should.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;To me Christmas is about families and giving. It should not just be about giving each other the latest iPods and Nintendo games. The reason why the Christmas number one is such a big deal is because that&amp;#8217;s the song people buy to give each other presents. So if all that money was to go to charity that would be great.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Melua is no stranger to charity; she is an Ambassador for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/192-save-the-children&quot;&gt;Save the Children&lt;/a&gt;, performed at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/543-nelson-mandela&quot;&gt;Nelson Mandela&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/658-46664&quot;&gt;46664&lt;/a&gt; concert, and supports &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/167-katie-melua&quot;&gt;a host of other charities&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Black Eyed Peas Hold Charity Party</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/28-adrienne-phillip&quot;&gt;Adrienne Phillip&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It was a balmy night in Hollywood, but that did not keep celebrities devoted to friendship and charity away from a birthday fundraiser for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/925-apl-de-ap&quot;&gt;apl.de.ap&lt;/a&gt; (Allan Pineda Lindo) of hip hop group the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/924-black-eyed-peas&quot;&gt;Black Eyed Peas&lt;/a&gt;. The red carpet arrivals streamed into the Vanguard Nightclub on November 27 with their party shoes on and their hearts on their sleeves &amp;#8211; they were there to have fun and raise money for charities in the Philippines.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Black Eyed Peas members &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/926-taboo&quot;&gt;Taboo&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/488-will-i-am&quot;&gt;will.i.am&lt;/a&gt; organized the event to celebrate apl.de.ap&amp;#8217;s 33rd birthday and to pay tribute to the charities that have helped him in the past. Will.i.am was the first of the group to arrive, and he spoke with the press about his holiday plans and new musical ventures with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/598-mariah-carey&quot;&gt;Mariah Carey&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/113-michael-jackson&quot;&gt;Michael Jackson&lt;/a&gt;. Will was excited about the fundraiser because it showed how far he and his friends had come &amp;#8211; they were now able to bring their blessings full circle and give back to the communities that raised them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Taboo was next to arrive. He was excited to be back in the States, and was happy to spend time with his fourteen year old son Joshua. He also said that events like this showed the love the Black Eyed Peas had for others. When they established &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/841-the-black-eyed-peas-foundation&quot;&gt;The Black Eyed Peas Foundation&lt;/a&gt; in the early nineties, the band wanted to be sure to give something back to each of their diverse backgrounds &amp;#8211; wil.i.am represents the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;USA&lt;/span&gt;, Taboo is of Mexican descent, and apl.de.ap was born and raised in the Philippines.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;For me to go to the Philippines and for him to go to Mexico to integrate our cultures is beyond success, beyond selling millions of records&amp;#8221;, Taboo said to explain how the Black Eyed Peas were more than just about music. But the best part of putting this evening together for him was &amp;#8220;being able to be with my best friends. Giving back to our community and our fans and doing it to make a difference not only in the States but overseas&amp;#8230; to be able to be a part of that and to express our music and talent is a great thing because, beyond selling records, its about giving back for us&#8230;We have already won Grammy&amp;#8217;s, &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;MTV&lt;/span&gt; awards, sold 27 million records. What is there left to do? So now we are giving back and letting people know we are humans before artists.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apl. was beaming with pride when he arrived, excited that he was able to be part of an evening to raise money for charities&#8230; because he was raised by a charity himself. As a child in the Philippines, the singer was sponsored by an American through the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/840-pearl-s-buck-foundation&quot;&gt;Pearl S. Buck Foundation&lt;/a&gt;. His sponsor then decided to adopt him and brought him to the United States were he was able to achieve his dreams.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It is very important to me to give back the same opportunity that was given to me,&amp;#8221; Apl. said on the red carpet. &amp;#8220;That&amp;#8217;s the only way I know how to do it.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Apl. is now going to try to hold a benefit annually, and give most of the money to the Pearl S. Buck Foundation, as well as to other Filipino Charities. The most challenging part of the evening for him was getting sponsors, but as soon as the name of a group as successful as the Black Eyed Peas was attached, sponsors came right on board.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The partygoers were from television, music, sport, and movies, as well as many from Los Angeles&amp;#8217; Filipino community. The celebrities who attended spoke of their own charities and how good they feel during the holiday season when they can help others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ultimate Fighting Champion Quinton &amp;#8216;Rampage&amp;#8217; Jackson, said he was there to support the charities of his friends. &amp;#8220;I think it is real important to give back because God giveth and God taketh away&amp;#8230;. I support my old high school wrestling team&amp;#8230;charity starts at home too &amp;#8211; I help out a lot of my family.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1493-nate-parker&quot;&gt;Nate Parker&lt;/a&gt;, who will be starring in the new film The Great Debaters with Denzel Washington, was happy to be part of the evening. He is learning from some of the biggest givers in Hollywood that you have to be proud of where you come from and support the people who are still there. &amp;#8220;Working with Denzel was a learning experience, not just about acting, but life and how to appreciate what you have. Helping out charities is the way to show you care.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The celebrities that attended the event included Bi Ling, Bobby Brown, as well as funny guys Chris Reed, Aries Spears, and Ken Davitian. Young Filipino rapper Lil Jordan spit some lyrics on the red carpet for the crowd and showed his support for his ancestral country. VH1&amp;#8217;s Celebrity Rap Superstar winner Shar Jackson was there in support of Apl. because he was a friend who always put others before his own needs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Hollywood needs more groups like the Black Eyed Peas to give back to the world,&amp;#8221; she said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After greeting the fans, Apl. performed some of his solo music and then shined the spotlight on the up-and-coming groups that the Black Eyed Peas were producing. The evening was deemed a success as it raised money for a great cause, created awareness for the Pearl S. Buck Foundation and other charities, and showed how giving to charities can make a difference in the life of a child.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Bid Now For Christmas Gifts</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;The countdown to Christmas has begun, and celebrities are doing their best to make holiday shopping easy this year. Several charity auctions have already kicked off to raise money for good causes, including one that may be eBay&amp;#8217;s largest sale of celebrity items&amp;#8230; ever!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1237-bid-2-beat-aids&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;BID&lt;/span&gt; 2 &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;BEAT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; online auction will open on December 1, World &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; Day, and will feature over 1000 specially signed items, ranging from posters to iPods.

It also happens to be one of the highest grossing charity events held every year in New York, and last year raised over $4 million for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/833-samuel-waxman-cancer-research-foundation&quot;&gt;Samuel Waxman Cancer Research Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, a non-profit organization that has provided over $55 million in grants to cancer research, and has been instrumental in the development of new cancer drugs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The gala dinner and live auction will be held at the 69th Regiment Armory on Lexington Avenue, New York City, and over 1200 guests are expected to attend. The host for the evening is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/254-chevy-chase&quot;&gt;Chevy Chase&lt;/a&gt;, and attendees will be treated to a very special performance by Glenn Frey and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/985-joe-walsh&quot;&gt;Joe Walsh&lt;/a&gt;, members of 70&amp;#8217;s rock group, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/877-eagles&quot;&gt;Eagles&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Selected items up for auction on the night as well as online include dinner with Chevy Chase, the chance to play tennis with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/209-andre-agassi&quot;&gt;Andre Agassi&lt;/a&gt;, and a meet and greet with Aerosmith.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More information can be found at www.charitybuzz.com.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also on the Charitybuzz website is an auction to raise funding for &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;, an organization dedicated to lung cancer research and awareness.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The auction runs from November 28 until December 12, and features unique items such as the chance to have &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/916-andrea-bocelli&quot;&gt;Andrea Bocelli&lt;/a&gt; perform in your own home, the opportunity to have &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/296-patti-labelle&quot;&gt;Patti LaBelle&lt;/a&gt; host your cocktail party, and &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VIP&lt;/span&gt; tickets to see &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/148-celine-dion&quot;&gt;C&#233;line Dion&lt;/a&gt; at Madison Square Gardens.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And if you still can&amp;#8217;t find a suitable gift, have a look at the Have A Heart Auction on Charitybuzz. All proceeds from the auction, which features the chance to meet &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/16-avril-lavigne&quot;&gt;Avril Lavigne&lt;/a&gt;, a copy of &amp;#8220;An Inconvenient Truth&amp;#8221; signed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/522-al-gore&quot;&gt;Al Gore&lt;/a&gt;, and a &amp;#8220;Godfather II&amp;#8221; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;DVD&lt;/span&gt; signed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/4-al-pacino&quot;&gt;Al Pacino&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/919-robert-deniro&quot;&gt;Robert DeNiro&lt;/a&gt;, will benefit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/642-heart&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HEART&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, an organization that aims to foster compassion and respect for all living beings.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But you have to be in quick, as the auction ends on November 29.&lt;/p&gt;
