  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/57-linda-st-cyr&quot;&gt;Linda St Cyr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/121-samuel-l-jackson&quot;&gt;Samuel L. Jackson&lt;/a&gt;, star of films such as &lt;em&gt;The Spirit, Snakes on a Plane&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Pulp Fiction&lt;/em&gt;, will be hosting a star-studded benefit in London on June 11, 2009.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The benefit &amp;#8211; which is called &#8220;Shooting Stars in Desert Nights&#8221; &amp;#8211; will take place at two locations. The benefit will start off at London Golf Club, where charity supporters will be able to play golf with Samuel L. Jackson and many of his celebrity friends. Then the evening will bring a luxury Black and White Ball Benefit, held at London&#8217;s Hurlingham Club, and a feast of wonders with a menu designed by famed Michelin Star chefs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Shooting Stars in Desert Nights will raise money for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/51-rainbow-trust&quot;&gt;Rainbow Trust&lt;/a&gt; and the Samuel L. Jackson Foundation. Rainbow Trust is a charity that provides practical and emotional support for families with a child suffering from a life threatening or terminal illness. The Samuel L. Jackson Foundation supports numerous charities including &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; institutes, orphanages, the Dreams Can Be Foundation, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/633-breast-cancer-campaign&quot;&gt;Breast Cancer Campaign&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/75-red-cross&quot;&gt;Red Cross&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 many others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Many stars will be coming out to join Jackson on the golf course and also at the decadent black and white ball. Some will be team captains for the golf competition preceding the ball. Team captains will include Jackson, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/910-alice-cooper&quot;&gt;Alice Cooper&lt;/a&gt;, Jesse Metcalfe, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1136-damian-lewis&quot;&gt;Damian Lewis&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1074-michael-bolton&quot;&gt;Michael Bolton&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/236-luke-wilson&quot;&gt;Luke Wilson&lt;/a&gt;, JJ Field and Flex Alexander. Michael Campell and Colin Montgomerie are the pro golfers who will be attending the event.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ticket packages for the evening can be found &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.soujar.com/events.html&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. Shooting Stars in Desert Nights will be a day and an evening to remember with music from world class surprise performers, food, fun and a charity auction to support great causes.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Stars Tee Off To Help Missing And Exploited Children</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;The 10th Annual &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/27-national-center-for-missing-and-exploited-children&quot;&gt;National Center for Missing and Exploited Children&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NCMEC&lt;/span&gt;) Celebrity Golf Tournament sponsored by Canon was recently held in Las Vegas, where a host of celebrities turned out to support the event and raise $455,00 for the charity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Celebrity golfers who teed up for the cause included &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/910-alice-cooper&quot;&gt;Alice Cooper&lt;/a&gt;, Heidi Hayes, Michael Storm, Rudy Gatlin, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1296-kevin-sorbo&quot;&gt;Kevin Sorbo&lt;/a&gt;, Sean Dobson, Chris McDonald, Kurt Bevaqua, John Daly, Davy Jones, Steven Weber, Alan Thicke, Rollie Fingers, Eddie Payton, Ed Marinaro, Robert Hayes, Willie Gault and Richard Karn.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Canon&#8217;s continued commitment to protecting children is echoed in our corporate philosophy, Kyosei &#8211; all people, regardless of race, religion, or culture, harmoniously living and working together into the future,&amp;#8221; said Emily Reynolds, vice president and general manager, Corporate Communications, Canon U.S.A. &amp;#8220;We are extremely proud to commemorate our 10th year as a sponsor of &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NCMEC&lt;/span&gt; and will continue to help protect children and raise awareness about the worldwide issues of child abduction and exploitation. To date, Canon&#8217;s support of &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NCMEC&lt;/span&gt; has contributed to the recovery of 291 missing children.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each year, the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NCMEC&lt;/span&gt; Celebrity Golf Tournament Sponsored by Canon helps &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NCMEC&lt;/span&gt; to raise awareness and funds for its programs to help find missing children and prevent the exploitation of children. To date, Canon has helped &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NCMEC&lt;/span&gt; raise and invest more than $5 million through product, service and monetary donations.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Other celebrity participants for the Classic, a desert tradition since 1960, include former Major League Baseball and National Football League standout Bo Jackson, Tampa Bay Rays third baseman and 2008 American League Rookie of the Year Evan Longoria, famed musicians Huey Lewis, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1074-michael-bolton&quot;&gt;Michael Bolton&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/910-alice-cooper&quot;&gt;Alice Cooper&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1754-don-felder&quot;&gt;Don Felder&lt;/a&gt; (formerly of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/877-eagles&quot;&gt;Eagles&lt;/a&gt;), &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1191-josh-kelley&quot;&gt;Josh Kelley&lt;/a&gt; and country singer &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/885-clay-walker&quot;&gt;Clay Walker&lt;/a&gt;, actors &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/957-kurt-russell&quot;&gt;Kurt Russell&lt;/a&gt;, Chris O&amp;#8217;Donnell, Thomas Gibson, Oliver Hudson and Jeffrey Donovan; actor/comedian &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/350-kevin-nealon&quot;&gt;Kevin Nealon&lt;/a&gt;, actor/game show host John O&amp;#8217;Hurley, timeless New York Yankees baseball legend &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/393-yogi-berra&quot;&gt;Yogi Berra&lt;/a&gt;, comedian Tom Dreesen, &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NFL&lt;/span&gt; Hall of Fame quarterback and sportscaster Dan Fouts, Hall of Fame sportscaster Keith Jackson, television financial host Joe Kernen, Cleveland Browns quarterback Derek Anderson, former Green Bay Packers wide receiver and &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NFL&lt;/span&gt; analyst Sterling Sharpe, and former Vice President Dan Quayle. The celebrity field&amp;#8217;s schedule is as follows: Wednesday, Jan. 21, SilverRock Resort; Thursday, Jan. 22, Bermuda Dunes Country Club; Friday, Jan. 23, Nicklaus Private at &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PGA&lt;/span&gt; West; Saturday, Jan. 24, Arnold Palmer Private at &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PGA&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;WEST&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

Trahan will return to defend his 2008 Bob Hope Classic title, which he won by three strokes after firing a final-round, 7-under-par 65 to finish at 26-under 334 over 90 holes. All five days of The Classic will be televised on Golf Channel. At stake is a purse of $5.1 million, $918,000 to the winner.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Palmer, a sporting and Coachella Valley icon, played in the tournament 42 of its 50 years and is the only five-time champion, winning the inaugural tournament in 1960 and again in 1962, &amp;#8217;68, &amp;#8217;71 and &amp;#8217;73.

The five-day Classic features 128 top &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PGA&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;TOUR&lt;/span&gt; professionals and 384 amateur contestants, including a stellar list of 30 celebrities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As it celebrates its 50th anniversary tournament, the Bob Hope Classic&amp;#8217;s host course will be the Palmer Private at &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PGA&lt;/span&gt; West. Other courses in the 2009 rotation include Bermuda Dunes Country Club, an original tournament course, La Quinta&amp;#8217;s SilverRock Resort, which debuted in 2008, and the Nicklaus Private Course at &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PGA&lt;/span&gt; West, in the rotation for the first time.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Alice Cooper Pulls Charity Plum From The Pudding</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;Rocker &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/910-alice-cooper&quot;&gt;Alice Cooper&lt;/a&gt; has just announced plans for this year&amp;#8217;s &#8220;Christmas Pudding&#8221; event.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now in its 8th year, the star-studded event has become one of the biggest celebrity charity events in recent history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The cabaret-style variety show is scheduled for Saturday, December 13, and includes music, dance, and comedy with all proceeds to be donated to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/825-solid-rock&quot;&gt;Solid Rock Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, an Arizona community youth organization and Alice&amp;#8217;s charity of choice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Celebrity performers at previous Pudding events have included Ted Nugent, stand-up comic &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1826-sinbad&quot;&gt;Sinbad&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;em&gt;American Idol&lt;/em&gt; winner &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1216-jordin-sparks&quot;&gt;Jordin Sparks&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This year&amp;#8217;s lineup features Fleetwood Mac alumnus Bob Welch, Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers, F5, Runaway Phoenix, Les Stroud, and Whisky Falls, and &lt;em&gt;Iron Chef&lt;/em&gt; winner Mark Tarbell will serve up holiday treats for all attendees.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Adding to the excitement? This year Alice and the band will be performing their greatest hits.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;General admission tickets start at $33, with holders of &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VIP&lt;/span&gt; passes (starting at $203) granted access to a pre-show dinner and reception hosted by Alice himself.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Status Quo Rocks The Auction House</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;Last week&#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/1385-status-quos-celebrity-friends-help-out&quot;&gt;special charity auction&lt;/a&gt; featuring works from some of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1533-status-quo&quot;&gt;Status Quo&#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; celebrity fans was a huge success.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over US$158,000 was raised for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/116-princes-trust&quot;&gt;Prince&amp;#8217;s Trust&lt;/a&gt; in the auction, which featured artworks created by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1311-brian-wilson&quot;&gt;Brian Wilson&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1092-rolf-harris&quot;&gt;Rolf Harris&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/910-alice-cooper&quot;&gt;Alice Cooper&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/351-brian-may&quot;&gt;Brian May&lt;/a&gt;, Chris Tarrant, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/462-jamie-cullum&quot;&gt;Jamie Cullum&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/167-katie-melua&quot;&gt;Katie Melua&lt;/a&gt;, Paul Rogers and 50 other stars. Every artwork represented one of Status Quo&#8217;s album or single covers from the last 40 years, with one painting by David Shepherd attracting bids in excess of $26,860.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s marvelous because normally these things can go down a damp squib,&amp;#8221; said Quo frontman Francis Rossi. &#8220;The fact that we reached GBP100,000 is very nice. The Prince&amp;#8217;s Trust is for young people that are not articulate or come from a poor background. Nobody gives them a chance. It&amp;#8217;s such an unusual charity. It&amp;#8217;s not the kind of charity that most people give to. People are not usually concerned about some young kid from a council estate background.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;

  <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;British rockers &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1533-status-quo&quot;&gt;Status Quo&lt;/a&gt; have asked some of their celebrity fans to create works of art to be auctioned off for charity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Eight of the paintings will go under the hammer at London auction house Bonhams on  November 5 at a special album launch party, with the rest of the collection being sold via a silent auction accessed through the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.princes-trust.org.uk/Main%20Site%20v2/headline%20news/whats%20in%20your%20region/quo%20landing%20page.asp&quot;&gt;Prince&#8217;s Trust website&lt;/a&gt;.

  <title>Celebrity Fight Night A Knock-Out Success</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;It takes a champ to raise millions for charity, and on Saturday night &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/208-muhammad-ali&quot;&gt;Muhammad Ali&lt;/a&gt; proved he is the Greatest of All Time while hosting the 14th annual Celebrity Fight Night. This yearly star-studded event attracts the who&#8217;s-who of charitable giving in efforts to raise money in the fight against Parkinson&amp;#8217;s disease.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;This is probably the best night hands down,&amp;#8221; said Phoenix Suns&amp;#8217; legend Tom Chambers. &amp;#8220;I have done a lot of charity work since retiring in 1997 and this is a night that we make an effort to mark down on the calendar each year; it&amp;#8217;s just that special.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/files/faith-hill-and-reba-mcentire.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Faith Hill and Reba McEntire&quot; alt=&quot;Faith Hill and Reba McEntire&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aside from silent and live auctions, central to the event are the Muhammad Ali Awards, which recognize those in the sports and entertainment communities who best represent the qualities Ali looks for in his fight against Parkinson&#8217;s disease. This year&amp;#8217;s recipients included actor &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/473-kevin-costner&quot;&gt;Kevin Costner&lt;/a&gt; (who received the Muhammad Ali Achievement Award), record producer Clive Davis (Muhammad Ali&#160;Entrepreneur Award), country singer &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/213-reba-mcentire&quot;&gt;Reba McEntire&lt;/a&gt; (Muhammad Ali Humanitarian Award), and San Diego Charger Running Back &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1415-ladainian-tomlinson&quot;&gt;LaDainian Tomlinson&lt;/a&gt; (Muhammad Ali Sports Achievement Award).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1196-whitney-houston&quot;&gt;Whitney Houston&lt;/a&gt; wowed guests as she took the stage to introduce Kevin Costner. His acceptance speech had most &amp;#8211; if not all &amp;#8211; of the attendees close to tears. LaDainian Tomlinson&#8217;s acceptance speech was just as moving, but the mood lightened as the musical performers took to the stage to celebrate the spirit of the giving.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/611-john-mellencamp&quot;&gt;John Mellencamp&lt;/a&gt; headlined the musical performances and rocked the crowd while showcasing the talents that have rightly secured him a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Other notable performances came from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1216-jordin-sparks&quot;&gt;Jordin Sparks&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1217-dionne-warwick&quot;&gt;Dionne Warwick&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1776-collin-raye&quot;&gt;Collin Raye&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1826-sinbad&quot;&gt;Sinbad&lt;/a&gt;, and Tamia Hill. But it was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/210-faith-hill&quot;&gt;Faith Hill&lt;/a&gt; who raised the bar by performing a single song for an attendee who pledged $100,000 to hear her sing. Earlier in the night, during the live auction, bids for a private dinner with Hill and husband &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/211-tim-mcgraw&quot;&gt;Tim McGraw&lt;/a&gt; had reached $300,000 before Reba McEntire was included as part of the package. Within minutes, the closing bid was an astonishing $500,000.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/files/kevin-costner.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Kevin Costner&quot; alt=&quot;Kevin Costner&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;After the main event, Kevin Costner performed at the after party with his band Modern West. He delivered a knock-out performance that kept the crowd on its feet and the energy level high. The Academy Award winner sang with a remarkably soothing voice, while strumming his guitar and making eye contact with just about everyone who was lucky enough to be there.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Among the celebrities in attendance at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort &amp;amp; Spa were &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NBA&lt;/span&gt; legend Grant Hill and his wife Tamia, who also performed at the event. &amp;#8220;Muhammad Ali has given so much to the world,&amp;#8221; said Hill. &amp;#8220;And my wife is also performing tonight so I guess I have two reasons for being here.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Skateboarding legend &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/471-tony-hawk&quot;&gt;Tony Hawk&lt;/a&gt; was with his expectant wife and had some great advice for kids. &#8220;Believe in yourself. Persevere, never give up, if you want to do something, just try it, don&#8217;t give up.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/files/tony-hawk.jpg&quot; title=&quot;The author interviews Tony Hawk&quot; alt=&quot;The author interviews Tony Hawk&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Baltimore Raven Ray Lewis made his entrance with San Diego Charger Shawne Merriman, who was attending the event for the second time. &#8220;I can&#8217;t believe we can get everybody out here in one building for a great event,&#8221; Merriman said. &#8220; I&#8217;m totally amazed at the number of great people, this is my second year and I&#8217;ll basically mark this weekend off on my calendar every year to come and support it.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Arizona native and undefeated &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;USBA&lt;/span&gt; cruiserweight boxer &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1233-bj-flores&quot;&gt;BJ Flores&lt;/a&gt;, along with Team Flores (Jay of Juggler Entertainment and &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;MIMS&lt;/span&gt; of &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;DET&lt;/span&gt; to LA), lit up the red carpet and created a media frenzy as Jay interviewed the legendary Dionne Warwick with Flores while the world&#8217;s first diva posed with his title belt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Basketball Hall of Famer &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1265-nancy-lieberman&quot;&gt;Nancy Lieberman&lt;/a&gt; was radiant as she quoted Ali. &#8220;We come together because of sports,&#8221; she said. &#8220;You have to believe in yourself, and if you have that truth, and that inner confidence I think people see that. If you have to tell people you&#8217;re good &amp;#8211; like Muhammad said &amp;#8211; if you&#8217;re good, it ain&#8217;t bragging. You don&#8217;t have to tell people, it just radiates around you and people feel that.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Former Olympic gymnast Mary Lou Retton was in great spirits, even when asked about the current political backlash surrounding the Olympic Games.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;You know, it&amp;#8217;s really sad, because the Olympics are supposed to be a time when the best athletes in the world come together in competition,&amp;#8221; she said. &amp;#8220;Politics aren&amp;#8217;t anything new, it happened back in the 80&amp;#8217;s, it happened before that and I believe we&amp;#8217;re going to get it all resolved.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She also supports those who speak their mind. &#8220;I think you should speak how you feel and feel how you speak, and if you&#8217;ve got a strong opinion about something, its America, thank God we are born in America and we can voice that. I&#8217;ve got no problem with that. I&#8217;m a true blue born all-American, so I hope we get it all resolved.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/files/crews-crew.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Crew&amp;#39;s Crew&quot; alt=&quot;Crew&amp;#39;s Crew&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Celebrity Auctions For Christmas</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;As the clock counts down to Christmas, celebrities have been keeping busy and warm by signing as many different items as humanly possible and donating them to a plethora of auctions. The holiday season may be at fever pitch now, but there is certainly a wide range of gift ideas to ease the stress of last minute shopping.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The VH1 Holiday Auction is currently being held at www.vh1auctions.com, and includes a long list of memorabilia from the music industry. All proceeds from the auction will go to the VH1 &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/277-save-the-music-foundation&quot;&gt;Save The Music Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, an initiative dedicated to restoring music programs in schools across the US.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Items up for grabs include a harmonica signed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/910-alice-cooper&quot;&gt;Alice Cooper&lt;/a&gt; (which has already attracted bids of $250), signed photos of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/493-aerosmith&quot;&gt;Aerosmith&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/469-chris-cornell&quot;&gt;Chris Cornell&lt;/a&gt; ($300), and a guitar personally autographed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1926-ryan-adams&quot;&gt;Ryan Adams&lt;/a&gt; ($1500). Signed clothing is also big on the agenda, with a jacket from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/120-snoop-dogg&quot;&gt;Snoop Dogg&lt;/a&gt;, a vest from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1313-iggy-pop&quot;&gt;Iggy Pop&lt;/a&gt;, and sneakers from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1079-amy-winehouse&quot;&gt;Amy Winehouse&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Signed guitars are also available as part of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://stores.ebay.com/The-Official-A-E-Store/Private-Sessions-Charity-Auctions.html&quot;&gt;Private Sessions Charity Auction&lt;/a&gt;, with all proceeds to benefit the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/233-starlight-childrens-foundation&quot;&gt;Starlight Children&amp;#8217;s Foundation&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/16-avril-lavigne&quot;&gt;Avril Lavigne&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/601-goo-goo-dolls&quot;&gt;Goo Goo Dolls&lt;/a&gt;, Meat Loaf, the Barenaked Ladies, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1388-toby-keith&quot;&gt;Toby Keith&lt;/a&gt; are among the stars to sign both an acoustic guitar and an electric guitar for the auction, which also includes movie clapper boards autographed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/708-queen-latifah&quot;&gt;Queen Latifah&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/380-michael-douglas&quot;&gt;Michael Douglas&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/255-anthony-hopkins&quot;&gt;Anthony Hopkins&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But if these items whet your appetite, you have to be quick. The auction ends on December 12.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;For those people celebrating Christmas in Australia this year, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/233-starlight-childrens-foundation&quot;&gt;Starlight Children&amp;#8217;s Foundation&lt;/a&gt; Australia is auctioning Christmas decorations signed by various celebrities. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/185-nicole-kidman&quot;&gt;Nicole Kidman&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1529-hugh-jackman&quot;&gt;Hugh Jackman&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/549-dwayne-johnson&quot;&gt;The Rock&lt;/a&gt;, Delta Goodrem, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1146-missy-higgins&quot;&gt;Missy Higgins&lt;/a&gt;, and rugby league stars Matthew Johns and Benji Marshall have all put their names on baubles to raise money for sick children in the country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;An auction is also being held by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/728-russell-simmons&quot;&gt;Russell Simmons&#8217;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/854-diamond-empowerment-fund&quot;&gt;Diamond Empowerment Fund&lt;/a&gt;, to raise money for education programs in African countries where diamonds are a natural resource. A variety of fine diamond pieces are up for sale at www.ebay.com/diamondsgive, including an exquisite diamond-encrusted Ohm watch from the Simmons Jewelry Company. The opportunity to take part in exclusive photo shoots with celebrities such as &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/1008-naomi-campbell&quot;&gt;Naomi Campbell&lt;/a&gt;, LL Cool J, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1876-cedric-the-entertainer&quot;&gt;Cedric the Entertainer&lt;/a&gt; are also up for grabs in the auction.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Actress and environmental activist &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/47-daryl-hannah&quot;&gt;Daryl Hannah&lt;/a&gt; is also doing her bit to ease the shopping blues this year, and has launched a brand new online store. www.dhlovelife.com offers goods picked with serious consideration of their environmental, social, and animal welfare impact. And if special holiday items such as an organic peace wreath and 100% recycled cards do not excite you, the store also offers compost buckets, surfboards and guitars made from hemp, bamboo snowboards, organic dog treats, and even a solar powered boat. The actress will also sell her personal bio diesel car and home fueling system on the site on December 20.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And finally a little news from the recent Lightspeed Fine Art Celebrity Charity Auction, held in Lake Forest, California, on the weekend of December 1 and 2. Lightspeed specializes in artworks relating to science fiction, and their eighth annual auction attracted guests from shows such as Stargate, Voyager, and Battlestar Galactica.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A surprise guest at the auction was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/934-leonard-nimoy&quot;&gt;Leonard Nimoy&lt;/a&gt;, better known as Mr Spock from Star Trek. Nimoy, who is reputed to have a huge personal collection of Star Trek memorabilia, donated several items to the auction signed by himself and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/127-william-shatner&quot;&gt;William Shatner&lt;/a&gt;, including a plaque awarded from &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NASA&lt;/span&gt; for &#8220;inspiring a generation of scientists and explorers&#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nimoy&#8217;s contributions made over $14,000 of the total $40,000 raised during the auction, with proceeds going to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/453-american-cancer-society&quot;&gt;American Cancer Society&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/855-nimoy-foundation&quot;&gt;Nimoy Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, an initiative that gives grants to artists-in-residence programs in museums and galleries around the US.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the words of Mr Spock &#8211; &#8220;live long and prosper&#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Justin Timberlake To Host Golf Open</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;The &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PGA&lt;/span&gt; Tour has named four-time Grammy Award winning singer/songwriter &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/99-justin-timberlake&quot;&gt;Justin Timberlake&lt;/a&gt; as the 14th celebrity to &#8216;host&#8217; a &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PGA&lt;/span&gt; Tour event. Renamed the &#8216;Justin Timberlake &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/823-shriners-hospitals-for-children&quot;&gt;Shriners Hospitals for Children&lt;/a&gt; Open&#8217;, the event takes place at &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;TPC&lt;/span&gt; Summerlin on October 13-19, 2008, in Las Vegas, and will be televised on the Golf Channel. In addition to hosting, Timberlake will also take part in Wednesday&#8217;s Pro-Am, and hold a concert during the week of the Open.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;I couldn&#8217;t be more excited to host the upcoming 2008 Las Vegas tournament and to be involved with the Shriners Hospitals for Children,&#8221; said Timberlake. &#8220;We will make sure to make this event unique and memorable, and we will raise money for charity while participating in the greatest game ever played. I thank the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PGA&lt;/span&gt; Tour and the Shriners Hospitals for Children for this amazing opportunity. Raising money to better children&#8217;s lives while playing golf? I can&#8217;t think of a better way to pass the time.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The annual event in Las Vegas 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;&amp;#8220;The &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PGA&lt;/span&gt; Tour is delighted to announce Justin&amp;#8217;s involvement with our Las Vegas event,&amp;#8221; said &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PGA&lt;/span&gt; Tour commissioner, Tin Finchem. &amp;#8220;This promises to be an exciting and effective collaboration, one that will only raise the profile of the great work done by the Shriners Hospitals. The Tour is proud of its history of improving the lives of people in the communities in which we play, and we are confident that the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open can be a leading example of that charitable mission.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;While Timberlake joins the ranks of other celebrity &#8216;hosts&#8217; &#8211; including Bing Crosby, Sammy Davis Jr., Bob Hope, Andy Williams, Danny Thomas, Dean Martin, Ed McMahon, Frank Sinatra, Glen Campbell, and Jackie Gleason &#8211; he certainly isn&#8217;t new to the game itself. The ex-&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NSYNC&lt;/span&gt; heartthrob has already established himself as an avid golfer and is rumored to have a 6-handicap.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Justin is a very keen golfer and he&amp;#8217;s playing to a very high standard now,&amp;#8221; a source close to Timberlake said in April. &amp;#8220;His aim is to make it into a pro event, just for a tournament or two. He practices every day, has a coach and takes his clubs wherever he goes.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Timberlake, who is a member of the exclusive Sherman Oaks Country Club in Los Angeles, took a cue from rocker/golfer &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/910-alice-cooper&quot;&gt;Alice Cooper&lt;/a&gt;. &#8220;As Alice Cooper said, you can either drink all day or golf&#8221; said Timberlake.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last year, Chris Baldwin, a senior writer for Golf Publisher Syndications, asked Timberlake if he gets nervous playing in front of the galleries at &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PGA&lt;/span&gt; events. &#8220;I get way more nervous playing golf in front of 500 people than being on stage in front of 20,000 people. I&amp;#8217;ve been performing all my life pretty much in music. On stage, even if it&amp;#8217;s an outdoors concert with half a million people, I&amp;#8217;m in my element. I know what it takes to put on a good show for the fans. Out on the course, you want to hit the ball well so badly, but there are so many things you don&amp;#8217;t have control over.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
