  <title>LTTS Exclusive - The 2009 Noble Awards</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/39-michelle-vink&quot;&gt;Michelle Vink&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I had the honor of attending &#8220;The Noble Awards&#8221; on their first annual show honoring charities and their celebrity supporters.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;On Sunday, October 18th at The Beverly Hilton, &#8220;Access Hollywood&#8217;s&#8221; Billy Bush hosted the premiere of this special event honoring &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/246-morgan-freeman&quot;&gt;Morgan Freeman&lt;/a&gt; with a Lifetime Achievement Award and a list of celebrity honorees from Brett Ratner to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/417-teri-hatcher&quot;&gt;Teri Hatcher&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&#160;&lt;br /&gt;
Guests were treated to live performances from names like Brian McKnight and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1901-benji-madden&quot;&gt;Benji Madden&lt;/a&gt; and the famed 8-year-old piano prodigy, Emily Bear. The night was supported with a star-studded cast of performers, honorees and guests that all believe in using the power of their voice in the name of philanthropy and charity. No detail was too small for this event. The award sculpture itself was the vision of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/940-antonio-banderas&quot;&gt;Antonio Banderas&lt;/a&gt; and came to life at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/393-the-art-of-elysium&quot;&gt;The Art of Elysium&lt;/a&gt; workshop with personal touches from the children at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/823-shriners-hospitals-for-children&#160;&quot;&gt;Shriners Hospitals for Children&lt;/a&gt; with the guidance of&#160;The Art of Elysium volunteer/actor/sculptor David Grieco.&lt;br /&gt;
&#160;&lt;br /&gt;
The Noble Awards was an inaugural awards show that launched the beginning of a perennial movement that will encourage each and every person to give back and take action in the world today.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Each year they will recognize and honor philanthropic organizations and the celebrities that make considerable contributions to them.&#160; Some of this year honorees included &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/291-nancy-odell&quot;&gt;Nancy O&amp;#8217;Dell&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/341-best-buddies-international&quot;&gt;Best Buddies International&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1676-annalynne-mccord&quot;&gt;AnnaLynne McCord&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1347-the-blind-project&quot;&gt;The Blind Project&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/417-teri-hatcher&quot;&gt;Teri Hatcher&lt;/a&gt; for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/349-childrens-hospital-los-angeles&quot;&gt;Children&amp;#8217;s Hospital Los Angeles&lt;/a&gt;, Brett Ratner for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1167-dosomething-org&quot;&gt;DoSomething.org&lt;/a&gt;, Billy Bush for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/106-lollipop-theater-network&quot;&gt;Lollipop Theater Network&lt;/a&gt;, Whitney Burditt for Playing for Change, Kenneth &#8220;Babyface&#8221; Edmonds for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1120-stand-up-to-cancer&quot;&gt;Stand Up To Cancer&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1730-laila-ali&quot;&gt;Laila Ali&lt;/a&gt; for Women&amp;#8217;s Sport Foundation and a charity very close to my heart, The Art of Elysium honoring &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/904-joel-madden&quot;&gt;Joel Madden&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
&#160;&lt;br /&gt;
Jennifer Howell, Founder of The Art of Elysium, presented this award to Joel Madden with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1822-lionel-richie&quot;&gt;Lionel Richie&lt;/a&gt;, Allison Beck and Stacey Price: &#8220;As both an artist and a father, Joel truly embodies a sincere passion for both music and children.&#160; It was evident in his beautiful and humble acceptance speech where he expressed his heartbreak at the thought of a child spending one second inside of a hospital.&#160; A moment that was also extremely moving was when his twin brother &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1901-benji-madden&quot;&gt;Benji&lt;/a&gt; (who has spent many days with The Art of Elysium teaching guitar and participating in music workshops) shared his love for his brother with a music dedication.&#160; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/903-nicole-richie&quot;&gt;Nicole Richie&lt;/a&gt; (who has also dedicated her talents to the charity) looked on lovingly while her Father introduced Joel and thanked him for loving his daughter so much.&#160; The love, support and generosity that was shown by all members of Joel&#8217;s family are the true roots that can help take The Art of Elysium&#8217;s mission to every child that spends that terrifying one second in a hospital.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was lucky enough to experience the vision of the Founder/Executive Producer, Janeen Mansour, prior to the event and watch it develop from an idea to a reality.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;The&#160;goal of the Noble Awards was to highlight the charities there that night and celebrities that champion them,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;Our goal reached far beyond my expectations. The purpose of the Noble Awards is to create awareness and send out a call to action. I feel everyone in the room was inspired and moved and understood the message we were trying to convey. That message is to be &lt;em&gt;a Noble&lt;/em&gt;.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Noble Awards are a testament to what Hollywood can achieve when it uses its voice to celebrate positive change. This event showcased just a few of the many celebrities and individuals dedicated to making a difference in the world today. It is my hope that it will serve as an inspiration to others to get involved in their charity, community or cause that has meaning to them. Being a volunteer takes less time than your yoga class and can cost you less money than your Latte. But the experience will stay with you a lifetime.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To the children, the volunteers, the unnamed angels, the celebrities, the founders, the team behind this event and to all of the people that donate their time and passion to making a difference on a daily basis, this celebrates you.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Inaugural Noble Awards Celebrate Hollywood Philanthropy</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;em&gt;Look To The Stars&lt;/em&gt; was proud to be part of the inaugural Noble Awards on Sunday, October 18 &amp;#8211; an event that honored a host of charities and the celebrities that support them, elevating awareness of the significant impact of their work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, the event honored &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/246-morgan-freeman&quot;&gt;Morgan Freeman&lt;/a&gt; with a lifetime achievement award, as well as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1730-laila-ali&quot;&gt;Laila Ali&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/523-womens-sports-foundation&quot;&gt;Women&amp;#8217;s Sports Foundation&lt;/a&gt;), Billy Bush (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/106-lollipop-theater-network&quot;&gt;Lollipop Theater Network&lt;/a&gt;), Kenny Edmonds (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1120-stand-up-to-cancer&quot;&gt;Stand Up To Cancer&lt;/a&gt;), &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/417-teri-hatcher&quot;&gt;Teri Hatcher&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/349-childrens-hospital-los-angeles&quot;&gt;Children&amp;#8217;s Hospital Los Angeles&lt;/a&gt;), &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1390-norman-lear&quot;&gt;Norman Lear&lt;/a&gt; (Playing for Change), &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/904-joel-madden&quot;&gt;Joel Madden&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/393-the-art-of-elysium&quot;&gt;The Art of Elysium&lt;/a&gt;), &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1676-annalynne-mccord&quot;&gt;AnnaLynne McCord&lt;/a&gt; (The Blind Project), &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/291-nancy-odell&quot;&gt;Nancy O&amp;#8217;Dell&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/341-best-buddies-international&quot;&gt;Best Buddies International&lt;/a&gt;), &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/64-eva-longoria&quot;&gt;Eva Longoria Parker&lt;/a&gt; (Padres Contra El Cancer) and Brett Ratner (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1167-dosomething-org&quot;&gt;DoSomething.org&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1822-lionel-richie&quot;&gt;Lionel Richie&lt;/a&gt; was on hand during the ceremony to present an award to Joel Madden, who attended the event with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/903-nicole-richie&quot;&gt;Nicole Richie&lt;/a&gt; and his brother &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1901-benji-madden&quot;&gt;Benji&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I want to welcome him to our family and present this Noble award to a guy I love very much &amp;#8211; Joel Madden!&amp;#8221; said Lionel as he introduced Joel to the crowd.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;They are just as much a part of it,&amp;#8221; said Madden, paying tribute to Nicole and Benji. &amp;#8220;Nicole does just as much as I do with Art of Elysium and all the charities we work with. And so does Benj &#8211; Benj actually does more then I do, and he plays the guitar better then I do, so he is a little more entertaining for the kids.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Madden later Twittered about the emotions he felt as he accepted his award: &amp;#8220;Just left the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;NOBLE&lt;/span&gt; awards. Got an award that was really for the people at the Art of Elysium. Awesome folks and I&amp;#8217;m humbled to know them. By the way got totally choked up when I got my award. I hate thinking about kids in the hospital, they should be getting the awards not us.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The award itself was designed by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/940-antonio-banderas&quot;&gt;Antonio Banderas&lt;/a&gt;, with personal touches added by children who participated in The Art of Elysium workshop at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/823-shriners-hospitals-for-children&quot;&gt;Shriners Hospitals for Children&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Morgan Freeman received the Lifetime Achievement Award for his tireless work and dedication to over a dozen non-profits. Freeman&amp;#8217;s diverse charitable efforts include working with American &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/415-artists-for-a-new-south-africa&quot;&gt;Artists for a New South Africa&lt;/a&gt;, the Campaign for Female Education, Earth Biofuels, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/309-grenada-relief-fund&quot;&gt;Grenada Relief Fund&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/315-mississippi-animal-rescue-league&quot;&gt;Mississippi Animal Rescue League&lt;/a&gt; and Mississippi State College of Veterinary Medicine. Freeman has also done PSAs for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/615-sierra-club&quot;&gt;Sierra Club&lt;/a&gt;, and a number of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/134-entertainment-industry-foundation&quot;&gt;Entertainment Industry Foundation&lt;/a&gt; campaigns, covering issues like colon cancer prevention, health care reform and volunteerism.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I think so often we don&amp;#8217;t know that our gestures matter,&amp;#8221; said Teri Hatcher, who was also honored. &amp;#8220;I think when you get involved in your local community charity you really do see you make a difference and it&amp;#8217;s empowering for you.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Look To The Stars&lt;/em&gt; was at the awards, and we will bring you more about the fantastic event over the coming days.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/2866-noble-awards-aim-to-honor-philanthropic-celebrities&quot;&gt;inaugural Noble Awards&lt;/a&gt;, taking place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday, October 18, has announced five new award honorees. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1347-the-blind-project&quot;&gt;The Blind Project&lt;/a&gt;, The Lollipop Theater Network, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/103-padres-contra-el-cancer&quot;&gt;Padres Contra el Cancer&lt;/a&gt; and Playing for Change will be honored along with six previously announced charities.

  <description>&lt;p&gt;As the film industry has the Oscars, television the Emmys and the music industry the Grammy Awards, the charity community and its most dedicated Hollywood supporters will gain global recognition with the staging of the inaugural Noble Humanitarian Awards, to take place at the Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday, October 18. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/2866-noble-awards-aim-to-honor-philanthropic-celebrities&quot;&gt;And &lt;em&gt;Look To The Stars&lt;/em&gt; is proud to support it&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The two-hour event, produced on behalf of the non-profit Celebrity Charity Awards Corporation, seeks to annually honor up to a dozen charities and celebrities who actively support them, elevating awareness of these organizations and the impact of their work.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The organizations to be honored at this first-annual ceremony include &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/393-the-art-of-elysium&quot;&gt;The Art of Elysium&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/341-best-buddies-international&quot;&gt;Best Buddies International&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/349-childrens-hospital-los-angeles&quot;&gt;Children&amp;#8217;s Hospital Los Angeles&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1167-dosomething-org&quot;&gt;DoSomething.org&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/187-elizabeth-glaser-pediatric-aids-foundation&quot;&gt;Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/161-keep-a-child-alive&quot;&gt;Keep A Child Alive&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/418-the-salvation-army&quot;&gt;The Salvation Army&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1120-stand-up-to-cancer&quot;&gt;Stand Up To Cancer&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/523-womens-sports-foundation&quot;&gt;Women&amp;#8217;s Sports Foundation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Celebrities who will accept awards on behalf of the charities being honored include &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1730-laila-ali&quot;&gt;Laila Ali&lt;/a&gt; (Women&amp;#8217;s Sports Foundation), &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/195-jessica-biel&quot;&gt;Jessica Biel&lt;/a&gt; (Children&amp;#8217;s Hospital Los Angeles), &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/409-alicia-keys&quot;&gt;Alicia Keys&lt;/a&gt; (Keep A Child Alive), &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/904-joel-madden&quot;&gt;Joel Madden&lt;/a&gt; (The Art of Elysium) and Brett Ratner (DoSomething.org), with others currently being confirmed.

&lt;p&gt;With nearly two decades of experience across entertainment, fashion and charitable projects, Janeen Mansour is creator and executive producer of the Noble Humanitarian Awards.

&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Celebrities have long given their time to charity, championing causes they feel passionate about.  Their support draws media coverage, and organizations benefit.  With the Noble Awards, we aim to turn the spotlight back onto these celebrities and charities in an effort to provide recognition, to educate, to inspire, and to encourage even more support from the Hollywood community and the public at large.  It&amp;#8217;s an annual celebration of service and volunteerism,&amp;#8221; explains Mansour.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A team of entertainment veterans join Mansour in producing the Noble Humanitarian Awards.  They include Ziad Batal (Executive Producer), founder of All 4 Media, one of the most prominent film and television production companies and creator and producer of dozens of reality, talk and sports programs in the Middle East; Michael Seligman (Producer), President &amp;amp; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CEO&lt;/span&gt; of Seligman Entertainment, Inc, whose 35 years of work includes the Oscars, the Emmy&amp;#8217;s, AFI&amp;#8217;s, Kennedy Center Honors and Stand Up To Cancer; Tisha Fein (Producer), whose three-decade experience includes the Emmys, Grammys, Tonys, World Music Awards, Fashion Rocks, Movies Rock and Stand Up to Cancer.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Noble Humanitarian Awards are produced on behalf of the Celebrity Charity Awards Corporation, a non-profit organization.  With the staging of the first annual awards on October 18, 2009, the Celebrity Charity Awards Corporation will launch a year-round campaign to better unify the efforts of charities with celebrities, influencers, media and everyday citizens in order to create an effective forum for change and service.

  <title>Jennifer Aniston Joins Children's Cancer Campaign</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/14-tim-saunders&quot;&gt;Tim Saunders&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Actress &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/92-jennifer-aniston&quot;&gt;Jennifer Aniston&lt;/a&gt; has once again joined the fight against childhood cancer by raising awareness of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/80-st-jude-childrens-research-hospital&quot;&gt;St. Jude Children&amp;#8217;s Research Hospital&#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; 5th annual Thanks and Giving campaign.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The actress has filmed a television &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PSA&lt;/span&gt; with a six year old brain tumor sufferer from the hospital named Elle.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Photo: Jennifer Aniston Gives Thanks&quot; class=&quot;photo story_wide&quot; src=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/photo/2253-jennifer-aniston-gives-thanks/story_wide.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Jennifer Aniston Gives Thanks&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;To help that brain tumor go away, Elle&#8217;s mother turned to St Judes, where our discoveries have doubled Elle&#8217;s chance of survival,&#8221; said Aniston in the short film. &#8220;The work of St Judes helps save the lives of children across America. We&#8217;ve changed how the world treats brain tumors, sickle cell, and leukaemia.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Other stars to film PSA&#8217;s for the fundraising campaign include &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/1371-jason-taylor&quot;&gt;Jason Taylor&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/940-antonio-banderas&quot;&gt;Antonio Banderas&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/345-marlo-thomas&quot;&gt;Marlo Thomas&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1461-keith-urban&quot;&gt;Keith Urban&lt;/a&gt; and Brad Paisley have both recorded radio PSA&#8217;s.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To join the campaign, you can purchase one of the range of clothes available at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tg.stjude.org/?SiteSrc=en||right||img&amp;amp;tngsourcecode=THWSJHPDO09&amp;amp;plt=THWHSPOTDO0904&quot;&gt;Thanks and Giving website&lt;/a&gt;. There are &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;DKNY&lt;/span&gt; T-shirts and apparel from Kate Spade, Juicy Couture, Lucky Brand, and Liz Claiborne.  All products can be purchased online at www.stjude.org or by calling 1-800-4STJUDE.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;Give thanks for the healthy kids in your life,&#8220; said Aniston, &#8220;and give to those who are not.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The PSA&amp;#8217;s can be viewed &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tg.stjude.org/?SiteSrc=en||right||img&amp;amp;tngsourcecode=THWSJHPDO09&amp;amp;plt=THWHSPOTDO0904&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Get Ready For The Carousel Of Hope This Weekend</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 annual Carousel of Hope Gala will take place this weekend to raise money for the Barbara Davis Center for Childhood Diabetes.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Antonio Banderas Sniffs Out Charity Fragrance</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;Heartthrob &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/940-antonio-banderas&quot;&gt;Antonio Banderas&lt;/a&gt; has launched his first fragrance for women, and will be donating some of the profits to charity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 47-year-old actor launched Blue Seduction For Women at a function yesterday that featured some of the children that will benefit from the new perfume. The Spanish star announced that $1 from every sale of Blue Seduction for Women &#8211; developed by &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PUIG&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;USA&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#8211; this Christmas (08) will go to the charity &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/878-broadway-cares-equity-fights-aids&quot;&gt;Broadway Cares/Equity Fights &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I am committed to the arts so it is wonderful to have Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS&#8230; as part of this launch and partnership,&amp;#8221; said Banderas. &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m proud to partner with Broadway Cares/ Equity Fights &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;, who supports many organizations for children and at-risk youth with educational programs, as well as social service programs for people affected by &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Broadway Cares is an industry-based organization that relies on the talents and generosity of the American Theatre community to raise money for &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;-related causes in the United States.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;We have had a long-standing relationship with &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PUIG&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;USA&lt;/span&gt; and Antonio Banderas and are thankful for their continued pledge,&#8221; said a spokesperson for the charity.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Stars Keep On Giving</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 giving just keeps on going this holiday season, with a whole bunch of celebrities donating items to charity auctions, and others taking the time to attend events and fork out massive amounts of money for good causes.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Such was the case on December 11, when the husband and wife team of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/940-antonio-banderas&quot;&gt;Antonio Banderas&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/941-melanie-griffith&quot;&gt;Melanie Griffith&lt;/a&gt; paid $50,000 for a pair of artworks by Joan Miro and Salvador Dali at an auction in Chile.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;They bought the two works for a price much higher than their commercial value, because the proceeds of the auction went to &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;,&amp;quot; said Denise Ratinoff, head of the auction house that ran the event. &#8220;It was virtually a donation to &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;UNICEF&lt;/span&gt;, and it helped a lot. Their presence in the auction made many other people also pay steeply for what they purchased.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The previous day, on the other side of the world, another auction also saw generous donations for a good cause. A classic car belonging to actress &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/155-sharon-stone&quot;&gt;Sharon Stone&lt;/a&gt; was sold for $400,000 at a charity auction during Dubai&#8217;s fourth international film festival, with the money going to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/108-american-foundation-for-aids-research&quot;&gt;American Foundation for &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; Research&lt;/a&gt;, of which Stone is the Global Fundraising Chairperson.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The 1961 Lincoln Continental was valued at only a fraction of the price it attracted, and went to a mystery bidder. It was the biggest item to be sold at the event, which drew other celebrity guests such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/283-michelle-yeoh&quot;&gt;Michelle Yeoh&lt;/a&gt; and Hayden Christenson, and raised a total of $3 million for the charity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Rockers &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/477-linkin-park&quot;&gt;Linkin Park&lt;/a&gt; launched their third charity auction through their non-profit organization, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/551-music-for-relief&quot;&gt;Music for Relief&lt;/a&gt;, last week, and raised thousands of dollars for survivors of the November 15 cyclone in Bangladesh.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The band donated items such as &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VIP&lt;/span&gt; concert tickets and a customized Xbox to the eBay auction, and were joined by donations from &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/720-smashing-pumpkins&quot;&gt;Smashing Pumpkins&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/201-madonna&quot;&gt;Madonna&lt;/a&gt;, Avenged Sevenfold, Slayer, and the Deftones, with all proceeds going to the humanitarian organization, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/271-care&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CARE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over 3,500 people were killed during the cyclone, and many more were left homeless, with the government seeking $2.2 billion in foreign aid to assist with helping survivors. The auction followed Linkin Park&#8217;s auction in November to raise money for victims of the California wildfires.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;That auction may have finished, but one still running right now offers bidders a vehicle with a difference &#8211; a BugE. If you don&#8217;t know what a BugE is (or even how to pronounce it &#8211; the advertising information says it is pronounced &#8220;Bugeeeeeeeee&#8221;), then you are not the only one. However, to enlighten you a little bit, a BugE is a clean, green cross between a motorcycle and a three-wheeled car that draws its power from electricity stored in batteries, instead of from harmful liquid fuels. And this particular BugE up for sale has been signed by nearly 100 different celebrities, such as &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/290-rodney-peete&quot;&gt;Rodney Peete&lt;/a&gt;, Ne-Yo, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1070-chris-daughtry&quot;&gt;Chris Daughtry&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://members.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewUserPage&amp;amp;userid=harvey_coachworks&quot;&gt;eBay&lt;/a&gt;  auction runs until December 20, and 30% of the proceeds will go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/119-autism-speaks&quot;&gt;Autism Speaks&lt;/a&gt; to help people who struggle with this debilitating condition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another celebrity stepping into the world of internet auctions this month is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/27-brad-pitt&quot;&gt;Brad Pitt&lt;/a&gt;, who is going to part with his favorite gray hat. Pitt and his gray cap have seemed inseparable since he moved to New Orleans, and he has worn it for photos, at the Beowulf movie premier, and even during his recent Larry King Live interview. But now he is going to throw his hat into the ring, so to speak, for charity, with all proceeds going to his &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/859-make-it-right&quot;&gt;Make It Right&lt;/a&gt; organization. There will be more information when the auction dates are finalized.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;And finally today, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/719-paris-hilton&quot;&gt;Paris Hilton&lt;/a&gt; is set to make a splash with her new champagne in a can, Rich Prosecco.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The hotel heiress was in Berlin, Germany, last week to launch her new &#8220;bubbly blonde&#8221; drink &#8211; which comes in original, passion fruit, and strawberry flavors &#8211; and to announce that 20% of all sales will go to a charity that provides fresh drinking water to those in need.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;It is the perfect &#8216;starter drink&#8217; for your night out,&#8221; said the 26-year-old. &#8220;Or a special pleasure as a reward for the end of your day.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The drink will be released in the US early next year.&lt;/p&gt;
