&lt;p&gt;Jaden and Willow Smith &amp;#8211; the actor children of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/150-will-smith&quot;&gt;Will Smith&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/81-jada-pinkett-smith&quot;&gt;Jada Pinkett Smith&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; have spoken about their support for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1402-project-zambi&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PROJECT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ZAMBI&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, a charity initiative started by a group of Hasbro employees to help raise awareness and funds for the estimated 15 million children who have lost parents and relatives to the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; epidemic in Africa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Willow and I joined Project Zambi to represent all the kids out there who want to make the world a better place,&amp;#8221; said Jaden. &amp;#8220;We want to encourage kids everywhere to lend a hand and join us in spreading the word about how much children who have been orphaned by &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; in Africa need our help.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The children have joined a host of stars &amp;#8211; including &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/195-jessica-biel&quot;&gt;Jessica Biel&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/68-george-clooney&quot;&gt;George Clooney&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/632-glenn-close&quot;&gt;Glenn Close&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/61-ellen-degeneres&quot;&gt;Ellen DeGeneres&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1916-portia-de-rossi&quot;&gt;Portia de Rossi&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/280-leonardo-dicaprio&quot;&gt;Leonardo DiCaprio&lt;/a&gt;, Joely Fisher &amp;amp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1648-brad-garrett&quot;&gt;Brad Garrett&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1031-jennie-garth&quot;&gt;Jennie Garth&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1924-peter-facinelli&quot;&gt;Peter Facinelli&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/117-scarlett-johansson&quot;&gt;Scarlett Johansson&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1316-jonas-brothers&quot;&gt;Jonas Brothers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/409-alicia-keys&quot;&gt;Alicia Keys&lt;/a&gt;, &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/517-kathy-najimy&quot;&gt;Kathy Najimy&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/563-rhea-perlman&quot;&gt;Rhea Perlman&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/565-danny-devito&quot;&gt;Danny DeVito&lt;/a&gt;, Graham Rahal, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/491-susan-sarandon&quot;&gt;Susan Sarandon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/202-brooke-shields&quot;&gt;Brooke Shields&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/970-taylor-swift&quot;&gt;Taylor Swift&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1312-james-taylor&quot;&gt;James Taylor&lt;/a&gt;, Barbara Walters, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/53-denzel-washington&quot;&gt;Denzel Washington&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/735-naomi-watts&quot;&gt;Naomi Watts&lt;/a&gt; &amp;#8211; in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/3064-celebrities-sign-elephants-for-project-zambi&quot;&gt;signing toy elephants to benefit charities&lt;/a&gt; such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/161-keep-a-child-alive&quot;&gt;Keep A Child Alive&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/356-african-childrens-choir&quot;&gt;African Children&amp;#8217;s Choir&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/230-hole-in-the-wall-camps&quot;&gt;Hole in the Wall Gang&lt;/a&gt; Camps, the Chikumbuso Women and Orphans Project, the Children of Uganda, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/308-global-action-for-children&quot;&gt;Global Action for Children&lt;/a&gt;, 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/192-save-the-children&quot;&gt;Save the Children&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/366-sos-childrens-village&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SOS&lt;/span&gt; Children&amp;#8217;s Villages&lt;/a&gt; and many more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Project Zambi is about kids and for kids, and it&amp;#8217;s so important that we all learn to take care of each other,&amp;#8221; said Willow. &amp;#8220;Even from the other side of the world, kids in Africa will know they have friends who care about them.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Noble Awards Set To Honor Celebrity Humanitarians</title>
  <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.  During the ceremony, each will be presented with the trophy award, 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;.  Other performers and presenters will be announced closer to the event.&lt;/p&gt;
&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.  Mansour, who has interviewed many celebrities, was inspired to create a dedicated award show for the charity community after interviewing 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; and learning about her significant charitable work.&lt;/p&gt;
&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>Celebrities Sign Elephants For Project Zambi</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;A host of celebrities have come together to be part of an online auction that features one-of-a-kind collectible elephant models.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/195-jessica-biel&quot;&gt;Jessica Biel&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/68-george-clooney&quot;&gt;George Clooney&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/632-glenn-close&quot;&gt;Glenn Close&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/61-ellen-degeneres&quot;&gt;Ellen DeGeneres&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1916-portia-de-rossi&quot;&gt;Portia de Rossi&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/280-leonardo-dicaprio&quot;&gt;Leonardo DiCaprio&lt;/a&gt;, Joely Fisher &amp;amp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1648-brad-garrett&quot;&gt;Brad Garrett&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1031-jennie-garth&quot;&gt;Jennie Garth&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1924-peter-facinelli&quot;&gt;Peter Facinelli&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/117-scarlett-johansson&quot;&gt;Scarlett Johansson&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1316-jonas-brothers&quot;&gt;Jonas Brothers&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/409-alicia-keys&quot;&gt;Alicia Keys&lt;/a&gt;, &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/517-kathy-najimy&quot;&gt;Kathy Najimy&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/563-rhea-perlman&quot;&gt;Rhea Perlman&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/565-danny-devito&quot;&gt;Danny DeVito&lt;/a&gt;, Graham Rahal, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/491-susan-sarandon&quot;&gt;Susan Sarandon&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/202-brooke-shields&quot;&gt;Brooke Shields&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/970-taylor-swift&quot;&gt;Taylor Swift&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1312-james-taylor&quot;&gt;James Taylor&lt;/a&gt;, Barbara Walters, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/53-denzel-washington&quot;&gt;Denzel Washington&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/735-naomi-watts&quot;&gt;Naomi Watts&lt;/a&gt; are some of the stars who have signed the elephant toys for Project Zambi, a charity initiative started by a group of Hasbro employees to help raise awareness and funds for the estimated 15 million children who have lost parents and relatives to the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; epidemic in Africa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;It is encouraging to see that companies such as Hasbro are developing initiatives to support global health issues,&#8221; said Alicia Keys. &#8220;Through my involvement in this project, I&#8217;m proud to support &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/161-keep-a-child-alive&quot;&gt;Keep A Child Alive&lt;/a&gt;, an organization dedicated to providing care and support to children and families whose lives have been affected by &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; in Africa and India by directly engaging the global public in the fight against &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One hundred percent of the sale of each auctioned elephant will be donated to the organization of the celebrity&#8217;s choice that supports children orphaned by &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; in Africa including the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/356-african-childrens-choir&quot;&gt;African Children&amp;#8217;s Choir&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/230-hole-in-the-wall-camps&quot;&gt;Hole in the Wall Gang&lt;/a&gt; Camps, the Chikumbuso Women and Orphans Project, the Children of Uganda, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/308-global-action-for-children&quot;&gt;Global Action for Children&lt;/a&gt;, 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/192-save-the-children&quot;&gt;Save the Children&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/366-sos-childrens-village&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;SOS&lt;/span&gt; Children&amp;#8217;s Villages&lt;/a&gt; and many more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;The wonderful support that we&#8217;ve received from the celebrities participating in the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PROJECT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ZAMBI&lt;/span&gt; auction is a moving example of the deep concern surrounding the issue of caring for children orphaned by &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;,&#8221; said Brian Goldner, President and Chief Executive Officer of Hasbro, Inc. &#8220;We are very hopeful and optimistic that this auction will be successful in raising awareness and generating funds that will support some of the many dedicated organizations working to make a better future for these children.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Earlier this year, Hasbro launched &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1402-project-zambi&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PROJECT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ZAMBI&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, a global cause initiative tied to the new special edition &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;FURREAL&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;FRIENDS&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ZAMBI&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;THE&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;BABY&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ELEPHANT&lt;/span&gt; toy that is dedicated to raising awareness and benefiting programs caring for children orphaned by &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; in Africa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hasbro has committed to donate 50 percent of the net profits from &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ZAMBI&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;THE&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;BABY&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ELEPHANT&lt;/span&gt; &amp;#8212; a minimum of $500,000 (in U.S. dollars) &amp;#8212; to the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PROJECT&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ZAMBI&lt;/span&gt; Fund, part of the Hasbro Children&#8217;s Fund, beginning in 2009, and hopes to expand this global campaign to include additional Hasbro products and brands in the years to come. By purchasing &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ZAMBI&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;THE&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;BABY&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ELEPHANT&lt;/span&gt;, consumers will be supporting programs that work directly with children orphaned by &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; in Africa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This latest initiative is a part of the work Hasbro conducts in the U.S. and around the world to help children in need through the Hasbro Children&#8217;s Fund and product donations. In 2008, Hasbro impacted approximately four million children through its charitable programs and product donations.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>2009 Keep A Child Alive Black Ball Details Announced</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/708-queen-latifah&quot;&gt;Queen Latifah&lt;/a&gt; is to emcee this year&#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/161-keep-a-child-alive&quot;&gt;Keep A Child Alive&lt;/a&gt; Black Ball.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The sixth annual Black Ball will honor &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/20-bill-clinton&quot;&gt;Bill Clinton&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/243-richard-branson&quot;&gt;Richard Branson&lt;/a&gt; for their work in eradicating &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; in Africa, and will be co-hosted by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/412-iman&quot;&gt;Iman&lt;/a&gt; and Padma Lakshmi and feature music from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/409-alicia-keys&quot;&gt;Alicia Keys&lt;/a&gt;. More artists will be announced.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The event, which &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/1290-keep-a-child-alive-announces-2008-black-ball-details&quot;&gt;follows last year&#8217;s successful gala&lt;/a&gt;, will be held at New York&#8217;s Hammerstein Ballroom on October 15, and will feature an evening of cocktails, dinner &amp;amp; extraordinary performances to benefit children &amp;amp; families with &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; in Africa &amp;amp; India. Alicia Keys helped found Keep A Child Alive after visiting South Africa in 2003 and witnessing the effects of the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; pandemic firsthand.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;It scares me&#8230; it really does,&#8220; she said, referring to the problem of &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; around the world. &amp;#8220;Thinking of myself, thinking of younger generations, my brother&#8217;s generation. We have a lot to really be careful about and it&#8217;s such a major thing that we have to be cautious. But we can totally avoid it by practicing safe sex and, if you can, just abstinence. And definitely being aware of what&#8217;s going on so that you know that you want to protect yourself every time, all the time.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Buy Guitar String Bracelets And Support 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;Music fans now have the chance to wear their love of Rock on their sleeves for charity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Wear Your Music&lt;/em&gt; is a New York-based organization that creates 100% eco-friendly jewelry that rocks &#8211; literally. The company makes used guitar strings from artists spanning the musical spectrum into stylish bracelets. 100% of the proceeds from the bracelets goes to charities of the artists&#8217; choice, such as &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;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/69-rock-the-vote&quot;&gt;Rock the Vote&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/83-make-a-wish-foundation&quot;&gt;Make-A-Wish Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/403-nordoff-robbins&quot;&gt;Nordoff-Robbins&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/195-musicares&quot;&gt;MusiCares&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/15-peta&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;PETA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/920-headcount&quot;&gt;HeadCount&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1338-the-nature-conservancy&quot;&gt;The Nature Conservancy&lt;/a&gt;, &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&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;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/220-michael-j-fox-foundation&quot;&gt;Michael J. Fox Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/378-smile-train&quot;&gt;Smile Train&lt;/a&gt; and many more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Over 150 musicians have personally donated guitar strings to the initiative, including &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/618-eric-clapton&quot;&gt;Eric Clapton&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/984-pete-townshend&quot;&gt;Pete Townshend&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/616-metallica&quot;&gt;Metallica&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/474-jack-johnson&quot;&gt;Jack Johnson&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/743-john-mayer&quot;&gt;John Mayer&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/482-ben-harper&quot;&gt;Ben Harper&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/16-avril-lavigne&quot;&gt;Avril Lavigne&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/639-carlos-santana&quot;&gt;Carlos Santana&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1470-death-cab-for-cutie&quot;&gt;Death Cab for Cutie&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;These are strings that these musicians have used and would normally throw away,&#8221; says co-president and designer Hannah Garrison, &#8220;It&#8217;s great that we can recycle them and also offer people a chance to wear rock n roll on their wrists.&#8221;  In addition, the fine silver used on each bracelet is also 100% recycled, as is the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;DVD&lt;/span&gt; case each bracelet comes in. &amp;quot;Supporting good causes and the environment have always been important, but even more so now.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;To check out the bracelets and make a purchase, visit the official &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wearyourmusic.org/catalog/&quot;&gt;Wear Your Music website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Alicia Keys Urges American Idol Viewers To Text For Charity</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;Twelve-time Grammy Award winner &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/409-alicia-keys&quot;&gt;Alicia Keys&lt;/a&gt; appeared last night on Fox&amp;#8217;s American Idol as part of a massive initiative called the Text &amp;#8216;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ALIVE&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8217; Challenge, which aims to provide lifesaving medicine and care to children and families with &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; in Africa and India.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The campaign is being organized by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/161-keep-a-child-alive&quot;&gt;Keep A Child Alive&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;KCA&lt;/span&gt;), the non-profit organization for which Keys serves as Co-Founder and Global Ambassador. As part of Keys&amp;#8217; appearance, she asked the millions of &amp;#8220;American Idol&amp;#8221; viewers to text the word &amp;#8216;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ALIVE&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8217; to 90999 to make a $5 donation. The Text &amp;#8216;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ALIVE&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8217; Challenge aims to generate millions of new texts that will provide lifesaving care through KCA&amp;#8217;s beneficiary sites in South Africa, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda and India.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keys explained that the Text &amp;#8216;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ALIVE&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8217; Challenge will not only benefit Keep a Child Alive&amp;#8217;s beneficiaries, but introduce millions of new donors to the rewards of charitable giving.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;No matter how much or how little we each have, when we pull together we have the power to change the world,&amp;#8221; says Keys. &amp;#8220;That&amp;#8217;s the beauty of Keep A Child Alive and the Text &amp;#8216;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ALIVE&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8217; Challenge &amp;#8211; it only costs $5 to help save a life by texting the word &amp;#8216;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ALIVE&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8217; to 90999.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keys also introduced a performance by 15-year-old Rwandan rapper, Noah, who is a patient at the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;KCA&lt;/span&gt;-funded clinic in Kigali, Rwanda. &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;KCA&lt;/span&gt; Co-Founder and music industry veteran Leigh Blake first met Noah during a visit to the clinic and after hearing him perform, invited him to appear at KCA&amp;#8217;s annual fundraiser in New York City, the Black Ball.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Blake describes her first meeting with Noah, &amp;#8220;Here he was in the slums of Kigali with so little access to popular culture, really almost none at all. But as soon as he started rapping, I saw he had it &amp;#8211; the talent and the intensity was in him &amp;#8211; and I knew I had to find a way make his dream to record an album come true.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Simon Fuller, creator and Executive Producer of American Idol was being honored that night by &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;KCA&lt;/span&gt; for his extraordinary charitable contributions via &amp;#8220;Idol Gives Back.&amp;#8221; He couldn&amp;#8217;t forget Noah&amp;#8217;s courage and dedicated himself to making Noah&amp;#8217;s dream come true.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Through his music, Noah hopes to transform not only his life and the lives of his family, but the futures of millions of people living with &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;. Noah performed &amp;#8220;The World&amp;#8217;s Greatest,&amp;#8221; written by R. Kelly and produced by Swizz Beatz. The song is currently available for download from Apple iTunes, with all proceeds benefiting Keep A Child Alive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Text &amp;#8216;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ALIVE&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8217; Challenge is a first for American Idol and a departure from traditional fundraising methods. Viewers are able to respond to Keys&amp;#8217; call to action by using their mobile phones to give $5 simply by texting the word &amp;#8220;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ALIVE&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8221; to 90999. Seconds after texting, they will receive a message back asking for confirmation. Mobile donors confirm by replying &amp;#8220;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;YES&lt;/span&gt;&amp;#8221; via text message, and the $5 donation is added to their next mobile phone bill. The mobile giving campaign is powered by mGive, founded by wireless pioneer James Eberhard.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The celebrity-inspired auction features numerous items that have been generously donated by some of Hollywood&#8217;s most talented and brightest stars with big hearts. Bidders have a chance to win hot items such as &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VIP&lt;/span&gt; tickets to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/news/1290-keep-a-child-alive-announces-2008-black-ball-details&quot;&gt;Black Ball&lt;/a&gt; hosted by Alicia Keys and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/412-iman&quot;&gt;Iman&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This auction package ends Monday, November 10th, so make sure to get your high bid in early. Other auction packages include autographed American Gangster posters and scripts from Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe, signed High School Musical poster from Vanessa Hudgens, 2 signed DVD&#8217;s of the Nanny Diaries from Scarlett Johansson, a signed Alex Rodriguez jersey, spending a day with Bonnie and Thor, the reigning King and Queen of Tweens, signed Brooks &amp;amp; Dunn jean jacket and photograph, a signed &#8220;How I Met Your Mother&#8221; script from Britney Spears, and many more items from celebrities such as Marlon Wayans, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/468-mariska-hargitay&quot;&gt;Mariska Hargitay&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/299-rick-fox&quot;&gt;Rick Fox&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1700-tyler-perry&quot;&gt;Tyler Perry&lt;/a&gt;, Channing Tatum, the Cheetah Girls, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1249-ryan-seacrest&quot;&gt;Ryan Seacrest&lt;/a&gt;, Dwayne Wade, Julian McMahon and others!

&lt;p&gt;This auction is crucial for saving the lives of millions of mothers, fathers, sons and daughters. &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; is a growing epidemic in Africa and has left nearly 13 million children orphans, young mothers without children, and husband&#8217;s without wives.  The proceeds from this auction will help provide communities with life-saving medication, support, and orphan care to keep children and families alive. Keep a Child Alive is a global initiative to help those who cannot help themselves; bidders are urged to take a stand against this fatal disease and help make a difference.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Alicia Keys Holds Charity Ball In London</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;Singer &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/409-alicia-keys&quot;&gt;Alicia Keys&lt;/a&gt; hosted a gala in London last week to raise cash for orphans suffering from &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; in Africa, and attracted some of the biggest names in showbiz.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The lavish ball &amp;#8211; held last Thursday &amp;#8211; raised money for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/161-keep-a-child-alive&quot;&gt;Keep A Child Alive&lt;/a&gt;, the charity Keys co-founded to provide life-saving anti-retroviral treatment to children and their families with &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; in Africa. Guests such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/292-kelly-rowland&quot;&gt;Kelly Rowland&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1376-mischa-barton&quot;&gt;Mischa Barton&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1289-russell-brand&quot;&gt;Russell Brand&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1141-jennifer-hudson&quot;&gt;Jennifer Hudson&lt;/a&gt; each paid over $2,000 to be part of the ball.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;Any time you&amp;#8217;re helping someone is very important and, of course, when children are involved,&amp;quot; said Hudson. &amp;quot;I feel like your celebrity is not about the fortune or the fame. But if you can&amp;#8217;t help anyone then it&amp;#8217;s in vain, it&amp;#8217;s pointless.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;27-year-old Alicia Keys, who stunned the audience by performing a duet of the Eurythmics&#8217; &lt;em&gt;Sweet Dreams&lt;/em&gt; and REM&#8217;s &lt;em&gt;Everybody Hurts&lt;/em&gt; with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/158-annie-lennox&quot;&gt;Annie Lennox&lt;/a&gt; at the gala, helped found Keep A Child Alive after visiting South Africa in 2003 and witnessing the effects of the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; pandemic firsthand. She told &lt;a href=&quot;http://news.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/hi/entertainment/newsid_7501000/7501382.stm&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/span&gt; Newsbeat&lt;/a&gt; that people need to remember that &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; is a global problem.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;It scares me&amp;#8230; it really does. Thinking of myself, thinking of younger generations, my brother&amp;#8217;s generation. We have a lot to really be careful about and it&amp;#8217;s such a major thing that we have to be cautious. But we can totally avoid it by practicing safe sex and, if you can, just abstinence. And definitely being aware of what&amp;#8217;s going on so that you know that you want to protect yourself every time, all the time.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The ball raised almost $700,000 for the charity.&lt;/p&gt;

  <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;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1373-michael-strahan&quot;&gt;Michael Strahan&lt;/a&gt; &amp;amp; Dreier &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;LLP&lt;/span&gt; Charity Golf Tournament is set to kick off on June 29 with a gala pairings party at &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;TAO&lt;/span&gt; Restaurant in midtown Manhattan, which will include a private concert featuring a Grammy Award-winning performer, and auctions to benefit abused and neglected children in the New York area and children suffering from &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; in Africa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Hosting this event is a great way for us to give back and help improve the lives of children,&amp;#8221; stated Mr. Strahan. &amp;#8220;Helping kids is the most important thing about this event.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Proceeds from this year&#8217;s auction of sports memorabilia and the celebrity golf tournament will benefit &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/1067-childrens-rights&quot;&gt;Children&amp;#8217;s Rights&lt;/a&gt;, a watchdog organization that advocates on behalf of abused and neglected children in the United States, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/161-keep-a-child-alive&quot;&gt;Keep A Child Alive&lt;/a&gt;, which provides medical care and life-saving drugs for African children suffering from &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Our tournament&amp;#8217;s mission is to make a significant difference in the lives of abused, disadvantaged and sick children,&amp;#8221; stated Marc S. Dreier, the founder and managing partner of Dreier &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;LLP&lt;/span&gt;. &amp;#8220;This tournament allows us to both alleviate suffering and to provide children with a chance for a better life.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The celebrity golf tournament will be held June 30 at the Century County Club in Purchase, New York.  Past celebrities who have participated include: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1052-eli-manning&quot;&gt;Eli Manning&lt;/a&gt;, Julius Erving, Warren Sapp, Marcus Allen, Clyde Drexler, Ahmad Rashad, Greg Anthony, Sterling Sharpe, Marshall Faulk, Luis Castillo, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/127-william-shatner&quot;&gt;William &#8216;Captain Kirk&#8217; Shatner&lt;/a&gt; among others.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The event, now in its third year, raised more than $300,000 for children&amp;#8217;s charities last year.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Alicia Keys Raises a Small Fortune for Keep a Child Alive</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/24-reginawalton&quot;&gt;Regina Walton&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/161-keep-a-child-alive&quot;&gt;Keep A Child Alive&lt;/a&gt; spokesperson &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/409-alicia-keys&quot;&gt;Alicia Keys&lt;/a&gt; is asking her fans to contribute to the charity&#8217;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://keepachildalive.org/media/index.php?p=textalive&quot;&gt;Text Alive Campaign&lt;/a&gt;. This simple act allows the non-profit organization continue its work distributing life-saving medication, support and orphan care to children and families living with &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt; and &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; in Africa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;During her concert in Los Angeles on April 5, 2008, Keys asked her audience to send a text message from their cellular phones to 90999 with the word &#8220;Alive&#8221;.  Making a donation couldn&#8217;t be easier;  a one-time $5.00 charge is added to the sender&#8217;s phone bill for each text Keep a Child Alive gets. Service is available on most United States cellular phone carriers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keep a Child Alive provides anti-retroviral (&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ARV&lt;/span&gt;) treatment to children with &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;.  It also provides medical services needed to make treatment possible.  This includes doctors, nutrition, testing, transportation, and treatment for opportunistic infections because these are all necessary for successful &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ARV&lt;/span&gt; treatment.  Furthermore, currently 15 million children have lost one or both parents to &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;.  By 2010 this number is expected to reach 25 million.  Keep a Child Alive builds and sustains orphanages to keep the most vulnerable children out of harm&#8217;s way.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Idol Talk From Alicia Keys</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;While &lt;em&gt;Idol Gives Back&lt;/em&gt; sang and danced its way into the hearts and pockets of America on Wednesday night, it was the words of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/409-alicia-keys&quot;&gt;Alicia Keys&lt;/a&gt; that perhaps reflected the thoughts of many people around the world.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;If &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; got half the attention that the media give to celebrity dramas, this issue would be well on the way to being solved,&amp;#8221; said the singer. &amp;#8220;It&amp;#8217;s crazy&amp;#8230; how you can change the lives of people forever for the price of a pair of shoes.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The singer appeared on the show in a clip filmed during a recent trip to Africa, and urged viewers to donate. Keys established the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/161-keep-a-child-alive&quot;&gt;Keep A Child Alive&lt;/a&gt; Foundation to directly assist children affected by &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; in Africa, and although her charity did not benefit from Wednesday&amp;#8217;s show, other organizations such as 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;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/231-global-fund&quot;&gt;Global Fund For &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/192-save-the-children&quot;&gt;Save the Children&lt;/a&gt; will receive some of the $22 million already raised from donations to Idol Gives Back.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keys&amp;#8217; words should make us all stop and think about what we watch and read, and start to act with our hearts.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Alica Keys' Mission To Find A Superwoman</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/2-myrlia-purcell&quot;&gt;Myrlia 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/409-alicia-keys&quot;&gt;Alicia Keys&lt;/a&gt; continues her efforts to raise awareness for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/161-keep-a-child-alive&quot;&gt;Keep A Child Alive&lt;/a&gt; with the launch of the &amp;#8220;As I Am&amp;#8221; Contest. Based on the song &lt;em&gt;Superwoman&lt;/em&gt; from Keys&amp;#8217; &lt;em&gt;As I Am&lt;/em&gt; album, the contest seeks modern day women leading extraordinary lives.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The contest is supported by Treemo, an online community that will donate $1 for every entry, up to a limit of $10,000. Nominations can be submitted online at &lt;a href=&quot;http://alicia.treemo.com/&quot;&gt;alicia.treemo.com&lt;/a&gt;, or via a text message, and can be a photo, video, image or text explaining why the nominee is a &amp;#8220;Superwoman&amp;#8221;. The Grand Prize is a &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VIP&lt;/span&gt; All Access trip for two to an Alicia Keys concert.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keep A Child Alive was co-founded by Keys to provide life-saving medication, support, and orphan care to families battling the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; pandemic in Africa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Leigh Blake, President of Keep a Child Alive, said, &amp;#8220;This contest and Treemo&amp;#8217;s support will not only increase our ability to spread the word about the realities of this pandemic, but also recruit more potential donors who can easily see they can indeed save the life of someone who needs their help. It&amp;#8217;s only $1 a day to sustain a life; it&amp;#8217;s time we all start giving a buck.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Celebrities On Show For AIDS Relief</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;&#8220;A Dollar Saves A Life&#8221; is the catchphrase of a new advertising campaign featuring &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/409-alicia-keys&quot;&gt;Alicia Keys&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/95-jessica-alba&quot;&gt;Jessica Alba&lt;/a&gt;, and Somalia-born model &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/412-iman&quot;&gt;Iman&lt;/a&gt;, launched to raise awareness of &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; in Africa and India.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The stars will join actress Lisa Bonet, Indian model Padma Lakshmi, and Z&#246;e Kravitz &#8211; daughter of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/134-lenny-kravitz&quot;&gt;Lenny Kravitz&lt;/a&gt; &#8211; in a series of advertisements in magazines across America, as part of Keys&#8217; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/161-keep-a-child-alive&quot;&gt;Keep A Child Alive&lt;/a&gt; Foundation&#8217;s new &#8220;Good Cents Initiative&#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The advertisements will see the stars dressed in stylish black clothes,  striking simple yet elegant poses surrounded by accessories and props to promote the new campaign. Keys has been photographed clutching a large pink piggybank, and Alba smiles under an umbrella as coins rain down from above.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;Every penny counts,&#8221; read the advertisements. &#8220;We see every penny as something worth saving. Please join us in helping children in Africa and India get the vital &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; drugs they need.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Good Cents Initiative was launched in September, 2007, when Keys took part in a roundtable discussion on youth activism with &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/141-shakira&quot;&gt;Shakira&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/37-chris-rock&quot;&gt;Chris Rock&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/20-bill-clinton&quot;&gt;Bill Clinton&lt;/a&gt;. The event was hosted by the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/750-clinton-global-initiative&quot;&gt;Clinton Global Initiative&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Another star to be involved in an &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; related project is singer &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/867-johnny-clegg&quot;&gt;Johnny Clegg&lt;/a&gt;, who has reworked his classic song &#8220;Great Heart&#8221; with an all-star cast of South African musicians as a fundraiser for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/857-starfish-greathearts-foundation&quot;&gt;Starfish Greathearts Foundation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Clegg appears alongside 17 other acts on the recording, including Arno Carstens, Chris Chameleon, Sipho &#8220;Hotstixs&#8221; Mabuse, and Kahn Morbee from indie-pop group The Parlotones.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The song, released as a radio-only single, is also included on a new benefit album &#8211; &#8220;Spirit of the Great Heart&#8221; &#8211; which will raise money for children affected by South Africa&#8217;s &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; pandemic.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>2008 Golden Globes Roundup</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/22-crystal-a-johnson&quot;&gt;Crystal A. Johnson&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There may have been no red carpet, acceptance speeches, or flash of cameras for the winners of the 2008 Golden Globe Awards, but Look To The Stars takes this golden opportunity to recognize some of those who were honored and nominated.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/126-johnny-depp&quot;&gt;Johnny Depp&lt;/a&gt; won his first Golden Globe after being nominated seven times since his career began, picking up the Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical award for Sweeney Todd.  Despite his dark performance, there really is a lighter side to the actor. In the past, Depp&amp;#8217;s charitable work garnered him the Courage to Care Award for his contributions to the &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;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Best Actress Award went to veteran Julie Christie, who was up against heavyweights such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/2-angelina-jolie&quot;&gt;Angelina Jolie&lt;/a&gt;, an outstanding supporter and contributor to charitable causes.  Some of the charities she has supported include the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/848-afghanistan-relief-organization&quot;&gt;Afghanistan Relief Organization&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/880-alliance-for-lost-boys&quot;&gt;Alliance For The Lost Boys&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/678-fran-drescher&quot;&gt;Fran Drescher&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/660-cancer-schmancer-movement&quot;&gt;Cancer Schmancer Movement&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/208-doctors-without-borders&quot;&gt;Doctors Without Borders&lt;/a&gt;, and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/340-daniel-pearl-foundation&quot;&gt;Daniel Pearl Foundation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Daniel Day Lewis won Best Actor for his performance in &amp;#8220;There Will Be Blood&amp;#8221;, beating out celebrity humanitarians &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/68-george-clooney&quot;&gt;George Clooney&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/53-denzel-washington&quot;&gt;Denzel Washington&lt;/a&gt;.  Like Jolie, Clooney is a major force in trying to make the world a better place, and he is a noted supporter of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/94-cinema-for-peace&quot;&gt;Cinema For Peace&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/6-make-poverty-history&quot;&gt;Make Poverty History&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/360-rock-for-darfur&quot;&gt;Rock For Darfur&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/178-united-way&quot;&gt;United Way&lt;/a&gt;, and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/182-world-food-programme&quot;&gt;World Food Programme&lt;/a&gt;. Washington has spent time visiting wounded soldiers at Fisher Houses, hospitals which provide housing for injured soldiers&#8217; families at little or no cost, and once made a large donation to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/292-fisher-house-foundation&quot;&gt;Fisher House Foundation&lt;/a&gt;. He is also the spokesperson for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/291-boys-and-girls-clubs-of-america&quot;&gt;Boys&amp;#8217; and Girls&amp;#8217; Clubs of America&lt;/a&gt;, honorary chairperson for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/293-save-africas-children&quot;&gt;Save Africa&amp;#8217;s Children&lt;/a&gt;, and a founding member of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/294-nelson-mandela-childrens-fund&quot;&gt;Nelson Mandela Children&amp;#8217;s Fund&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Australian-born &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/724-cate-blanchett&quot;&gt;Cate Blanchett&lt;/a&gt; took home the gold in the category for Best Supporting Actress. Charities Blanchett supports include the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/697-australian-conservation-foundation&quot;&gt;Australian Conservation Foundation&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/699-kids-help-line&quot;&gt;Kids Help Line&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/698-solaraid&quot;&gt;SolarAid&lt;/a&gt;. In the past, Blanchett filmed a special appeal for SolarAid that was screened at the Hay Festival. The video is available to view on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIiQFZs20qI&quot;&gt;YouTube&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/708-queen-latifah&quot;&gt;Queen Latifah&lt;/a&gt; took home the Golden Globe award for Best Actress in a TV Movie/Miniseries, for her role in &amp;#8220;Life Support&amp;#8221;. A supporter of several charities, Queen Latifah once helped design a pair of shoes for the Stuart Weitzman charity shoe auction benefiting ovarian cancer awareness and research, and has been involved with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/677-citymeals-on-wheels&quot;&gt;Citymeals On Wheels&lt;/a&gt; and the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/680-harry-holmberg-memorial-foundation&quot;&gt;Harry Holmberg Memorial Foundation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/894-jeremy-piven&quot;&gt;Jeremy Piven&lt;/a&gt; beat his &amp;#8220;Entourage&amp;#8221; co-star &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/1355-kevin-dillon&quot;&gt;Kevin Dillon&lt;/a&gt; to win his second award for Best Supporting TV Actor. Piven once hosted the fourth annual Fashion Rocks event, which benefited &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/409-alicia-keys&quot;&gt;Alicia Keys&amp;#8217;&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; Foundation.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Congratulations to all the winners and the nominees for all the work that you do in front of the camera and behind the scenes to inspire a better world.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Alicia Keys - As I Am</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 star and philanthropist &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/409-alicia-keys&quot;&gt;Alicia Keys&lt;/a&gt; has written a personal message for fans &#8211; &#8220;Don&#8217;t Forget Africa&#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The message, published in the December issue of Seventeen magazine, urges fans to support &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/161-keep-a-child-alive&quot;&gt;Keep A Child Alive&lt;/a&gt;, the charity Keys co-founded in 2002 to raise support and money for children affected by &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; in Africa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;Keep A Child Alive funds the testing and treatment of &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; in Kenya, Rwanda, and Uganda,&#8221; said the 26-year-old singer in her message. &#8220;One hundred percent of the donations go to clinics and orphanages in Africa and India. By visiting www.keepachildalive.org, and by starting a chapter in your high school or college, you can help save lives. You don&#8217;t want to grow up and say &#8216;How could millions of people be allowed to die from this illness when all the tools were there to prevent it?&#8217;&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;/&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; has become a true pandemic on the African continent, and in the last 25 years it has left 28 million dead and 15 million orphaned. It has wiped out whole communities, it threatens economic infrastructure, and continues to ravage families. It is an issue close to the Grammy winner&#8217;s heart.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;AIDS is 25,&#8221; she said in 2006. &#8220;As am I. And when I think that &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; has been around my entire life, a mix of sadness, compassion and anger overcomes me. While the statistics on &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; are staggering, especially in Africa, we cannot allow their magnitude to immobilize us into inactivity. Rather, we must harness our sadness and anger into action!&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Born as Alicia J. Augello-Cook in Harlem, New York, the singer got her nickname of Keys as a seven year old, when she showed a natural talent on the piano. But life in the Bronx was tough, and Keys describes herself as an &#8220;only child, a lonely child&#8221;, living in an area &#8220;cluttered with crime, dark alleys, drug dealers, pimps, prostitutes, and X-rated movies&#8221;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;My father just wasn&#8217;t there, and didn&#8217;t live close by,&#8221; said the singer. &#8220;And since my mother worked so hard, I was on my own a lot.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She took solace in her piano and music, and in 2001, at the age of just 19, Alicia Keys released her debut album, &#8220;Songs In A Minor&#8221;. Five Grammy Awards (and over 12 million album sales) later, Keys returned with &#8220;The Diary of Alicia Keys&#8221; in 2003, &#8220;Unplugged&#8221; in 2005, and &#8220;As I Am&#8221; in 2007.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It has been a meteoric rise for the young singer, but unlike many in the industry who acquire such heady fame at such a young age, Keys has managed not just to keep both feet on the ground, but also to use her fame to help those less fortunate. She co-founded Keep A Child Alive after visiting countries such as Uganda, Kenya, and South Africa, and is also a spokesperson for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/436-frum-tha-ground-up&quot;&gt;Frum Tha Ground Up&lt;/a&gt;, a charity dedicated to inspiring and motivating American youths to achieve success on all levels.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;Keep striving for your dreams and your vision,&#8221; she said on the Frum Tha Ground Up &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ftgu.org&quot;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;. Even when you feel that nobody else feels what you&#8217;re going through and all you see is negative, just keep on keeping on. There comes a point and time when you are no longer a victim of your circumstance, and you can&#8217;t blame your parents or anybody else for whatever&#8217;s going on in your life. It&#8217;s only you&#8230; you can be whatever you wanna be, you just have to believe it. Say this is who I am, and you will grow into the person you want to become.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Keys&#8217; positive outlook on life has flowed like a river through her songs, and has been reflected in her appearances at the New Jersey &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/524-live-earth&quot;&gt;Live Earth&lt;/a&gt; concert, the Philadelphia Live 8 concert, as well as several concerts to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina. In December 2007, she also appeared at the Nobel Peace Prize concert in Norway to honor &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/522-al-gore&quot;&gt;Al Gore&lt;/a&gt;, alongside &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/406-kylie-minogue&quot;&gt;Kylie Minogue&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/381-melissa-etheridge&quot;&gt;Melissa Etheridge&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/760-kt-tunstall&quot;&gt;KT Tunstall&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; pandemic in Africa is her greatest concern, and she has appeared at many events and concerts to raise awareness of the issue. She even recorded a duet of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/696-peter-gabriel&quot;&gt;Peter Gabriel&#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; &#8220;Don&#8217;t Give Up&#8221; with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/26-bono&quot;&gt;Bono&lt;/a&gt; for World &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; Day 2006, with all proceeds going to Keep A Child Alive.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;We must come together &amp;#8211; individuals, governments, corporations, philanthropists and artists &amp;#8211; as one and fight for the rights of children and families suffering unnecessarily from this dreadful disease,&#8221; she told guests at the 16th International &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; Conference in Toronto in 2006. &#8220;We must never give up until &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; treatment and realistic prevention messages go hand in hand across the world; until we realize that keeping mothers alive is critical to the well being of the world&amp;#8217;s children; and until we can stand together and say, &amp;#8220;We did not sit idly by and watch an entire continent perish.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As well as being a singer and philanthropist, Alicia Keys is a role model and actively pursues issues she feels moved about. She urges her fans to &#8220;be generous, be courageous, be cool, be volunteers, be heartfelt, be global, be respectful, be child friendly, be compassionate, and be human.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;She has faced adversity and come out with a desire to help others, using her own experiences to illustrate the importance of positive thinking.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;Life is adversity, something that is trying to get in your way or hold you down. Obstacles are gonna come every day. Don&#8217;t get it twisted, don&#8217;t think because you have your mother and father and a &#8216;traditional family&#8217; that you won&#8217;t face adversity. It&#8217;s not just facing adversity, because we all do that, it&#8217;s how you overcome it that defines who you are.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Bono Awarded For AIDS Work</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;Nobel Peace Prize nominee &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/26-bono&quot;&gt;Bono&lt;/a&gt; has received an award at an &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; charity event in New York.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/245-u2&quot;&gt;U2&lt;/a&gt; frontman was honored for his humanitarian work at The Black Ball, a ceremony held at the Hammerstein Ballroom on October 25 to raise money for the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/161-keep-a-child-alive&quot;&gt;Keep A Child Alive&lt;/a&gt; foundation, a non-profit organization that provides treatment to &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; victims in Africa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The sparkling evening of cocktails, dinner, and rare musical performances was organized and co-hosted by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/409-alicia-keys&quot;&gt;Alicia Keys&lt;/a&gt;, a Global Ambassador for the foundation, who described Bono as &#8220;an amazing man [who] works tirelessly at really having a cause and fighting for it. He is an inspiration and single-handedly made it cool to have something to speak about.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;Rock stars always want to do two things,&#8221; said Bono, who was honored to accept the award but insisted he would rather be giving out the accolades. &#8220;They want to have fun and change the world. If you can do both at the same time, you&#8217;re OK.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The event, which featured performances by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/499-gwen-stefani&quot;&gt;Gwen Stefani&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/267-sheryl-crow&quot;&gt;Sheryl Crow&lt;/a&gt;, as well as by Bono and Keys, attracted a host of celebrities who are both known for their support of the foundation and who wanted to show their respect for Bono&#8217;s work. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/411-david-bowie&quot;&gt;David Bowie&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/200-jay-z&quot;&gt;Jay-Z&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/54-diddy&quot;&gt;P. Diddy&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/569-petra-nemcova&quot;&gt;Petra Nemcova&lt;/a&gt;, and members of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/274-green-day&quot;&gt;Green Day&lt;/a&gt; were all spotted during the evening.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;This is an awesome opportunity to step up out of compassion and try to do the smallest of things,&#8221; said Crow, a few minutes before performing a duet with Keys. &#8220;Just to play some music and raise some money. I&#8217;m really proud of Alicia for doing it, and obviously I&#8217;m a huge fan of Bono and all the work he&#8217;s done.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;I love Bono,&#8221; added Keys, who teamed up with the Irish singer in 2005 to record a version of Peter Gabriel&#8217;s &#8220;Don&#8217;t Give Up&#8221; for Keep A Child Alive. &#8220;I really respect what he has done for Africa, and how he has used his fame to do good in the world. I hope I can do half as much in my life. Keep A Child Alive is my passion and heartfelt mission. I believe &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; is the most important issue we face, because how we treat the poor is a reflection of who we are as people. I urge everyone to recognize the extreme disaster Africa is facing.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Africa currently has 12 million &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; orphans, and less than 5% of the population has access to life-saving anti-retroviral treatment. It is estimated that there are 40 million people infected with the disease, 3 million of them children, with 700,000 more children becoming infected every year. Through its fundraising, Keep A Child Alive has funded several &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; clinics in Africa, saving lives in Kenya, Durban, Johannesburg, Kigali, Rwanda, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, and Uganda. They also provide funds for the Agape Orphanage and the Go Go Grannies in South Africa. Keep A Child Alive is a partner of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/3-one-campaign&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;ONE&lt;/span&gt; Campaign&lt;/a&gt;, which aims to help Americans to work against the worldwide emergency of &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; and extreme poverty.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&#8220;I am a Global Ambassador for Keep A Child Alive,&#8221; said &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/412-iman&quot;&gt;Iman&lt;/a&gt;, who co-hosted the Black Ball with Keys. &#8220;So it is something I have been doing for quite a while. I am from Africa, and there are a lot of orphan children in Africa whose parents have died from &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt;, and also there are a lot of kids infected with &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;HIV&lt;/span&gt;. So we want to provide the drugs that are available in the West, and to make them affordable for poor countries as well, especially the continent of Africa.&#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;More information on Keep A Child Alive, whose Global Ambassadors also include &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/582-liv-tyler&quot;&gt;Liv Tyler&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/95-jessica-alba&quot;&gt;Jessica Alba&lt;/a&gt;, can be found at www.keepachildalive.org.&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Paris Heads To Rwanda</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/719-paris-hilton&quot;&gt;Paris Hilton&lt;/a&gt; is to head to one of the poorest countries on the planet to raise awareness of child poverty.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Plans have been confirmed for the 26 year old socialite and heiress of the Hilton Hotel chain to travel to Rwanda next month, as part of her image makeover following her brief stint in jail in June.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ll be going in November, after I get back from filming my movie,&amp;#8221; said the star of &amp;#8220;A Simple Life&amp;#8221;, who is currently making &amp;#8220;Repo! The Genetic Opera&amp;#8221; with director Darren Lynn Bousman. &amp;#8220;There&amp;#8217;s so much need in that area, and I feel like if I go, it will bring more attention to what people can do to help.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The trip is being undertaken in conjunction with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/780-playing-for-good&quot;&gt;Playing For Good&lt;/a&gt;, a charity dedicated to children&amp;#8217;s issues set up a year ago by Scott Lazerson. Playing For Good was founded as a way to inspire and help businesses and celebrities to get involved in philanthropic work, and has attracted the support of stars such as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/64-eva-longoria&quot;&gt;Eva Longoria&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/678-fran-drescher&quot;&gt;Fran Drescher&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/834-goldie-hawn&quot;&gt;Goldie Hawn&lt;/a&gt;. Events organized by the charity in the past year have raised money for &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/351-millennium-promise-alliance&quot;&gt;Millennium Promise Alliance&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;, Spread The Net, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/779-the-hawn-foundation&quot;&gt;The Hawn Foundation&lt;/a&gt;. Lazerson plans to film Hilton&amp;#8217;s journey to the war-ravaged nation and sell it as part of a new reality show, &amp;#8220;The Philanthropist&amp;#8221;, which will feature various celebrities on missions to help the world&amp;#8217;s poor.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;She&amp;#8217;s using her celebrity status and the cameras that follow her for the good of the world,&amp;#8221; he said.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Thirteen years ago, the African nation of Rwanda was the scene of one of the worst massacres witnessed in recent history, when the Hutu-led military slaughtered almost a million Tutsis, in a country with a population of only 9 million people. Today, the political situation remains unstable, although President Paul Kagame is currently restructuring the Government to form a more secure country.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;m scared, yeah. I&amp;#8217;ve heard its really dangerous,&amp;#8221; said Hilton, regarding the trip to a country with an average life expectancy of 39 years, and where only 41% of the population has access to safe drinking water. &amp;#8220;I&amp;#8217;ve never been on a trip like this before.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Hilton&amp;#8217;s trip will last for five days, and is the first step in the shedding of her old persona, a promise she made to herself and the world in June.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;Before, my life was about parties &amp;#8211; it was a fantasy,&amp;#8221; she said. &amp;#8220;But when I had time to reflect, I felt empty inside. I want to leave a mark on the world. I want to visit more countries where poverty and children&amp;#8217;s issues are a big concern. I know there&amp;#8217;s a lot of good I can do just by getting involved and bringing attention to these issues.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Also as part of her new image, Hilton plans to make her new home in Beverly Hills more eco-friendly.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;#8220;I just bought the house,&amp;#8221; she said. &amp;#8220;I haven&amp;#8217;t been able to work on it yet. But I intend to.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Keys, Lee Help Keep Children Alive</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/2-myrlia-purcell&quot;&gt;Myrlia Purcell&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;A group of dedicated charity workers teamed up with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/583-spike-lee&quot;&gt;Spike Lee&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/409-alicia-keys&quot;&gt;Alicia Keys&lt;/a&gt; to help save children in Africa through an auction of modern technology and celebrity glamour.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Determined representatives of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/charity/161-keep-a-child-alive&quot;&gt;Keep A Child Alive&lt;/a&gt; were the first in line at Apple&#8217;s SoHo store in New York in order to purchase the first highly anticipated iPhone. They arrived at 7 a.m. on Tuesday, June 26 and maintained their prized place by sharing shifts over the four days of waiting. Director Spike Lee personally purchased the first phone on behalf of the charity when they went on sale Friday, June 29th.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The organisation, which gets anti-retroviral treatment to children infected with &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; in Africa, then offered the iPhone to the highest bidder, along with two Jawbone Bluetooth headsets, two round-trip domestic airline tickets, and two &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;VIP&lt;/span&gt; passes to the &amp;#8220;Black Ball&amp;#8221; charity concert in New York. Keep A Child Alive Ambassador Alicia Keys will leave a personalized voice mail greeting on the phone, and will present it to the winner at the ball honoring &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/26-bono&quot;&gt;Bono&lt;/a&gt; this October.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The winning bid at the auction, which ended July 6th, raised $100,000, and 100% of the proceeds go to the organization. Elizabeth Santiso of Keep A Child Alive commented, &amp;#8220;We&amp;#8217;re thrilled, this iPhone is saving thousands of lives in Africa. We&amp;#8217;re so grateful to all of the people who contributed their time, money and energy on behalf of the cause.&amp;#8221;&lt;/p&gt;

  <title>Vanity Fair Charity Issue Edited By Bono</title>
  <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Written by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/contributor/16-saskia-akyil&quot;&gt;Saskia Akyil&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/26-bono&quot;&gt;Bono&lt;/a&gt; is putting his philanthropic energy into Vanity Fair&#8217;s July 2007 special issue about Africa. The issue has 20 different cover photos of high-profile individuals, all taken by renowned photographer Annie Liebowitz.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The magazine includes information about the issues and charities supported by actors, athletes, models, politicians, musicians, activists, and billionaire philanthropists, all of whom are using their celebrity status and the publicity they receive to bring attention to the complex set of problems faced by the inhabitants of Africa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Africa is a continent with great need, and has been given a disproportionately low amount of attention and aid from wealthy nations.  It is the first Vanity Fair issue to have a guest editor, and Bono&#8217;s highly publicized commitment to aiding Africa makes him an obvious choice for editor of this issue.   In recent years, celebrities have used their status to bring a great deal of attention to Africa.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The covers of the Africa issue include portraits of: Bono, &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/1519-queen-rania-al-abdullah&quot;&gt;Queen Rania&lt;/a&gt;, George Bush, Condaleeza Rice, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/208-muhammad-ali&quot;&gt;Muhammad Ali&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/580-desmond-tutu&quot;&gt;Desmond Tutu&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/581-djimon-hounsou&quot;&gt;Djimon Hounsou&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/201-madonna&quot;&gt;Madonna&lt;/a&gt;, Maya Angelou, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/37-chris-rock&quot;&gt;Chris Rock&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/183-warren-buffett&quot;&gt;Warren Buffett&lt;/a&gt;, Melinda &amp;amp; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/21-bill-gates&quot;&gt;Bill Gates&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/103-oprah&quot;&gt;Oprah&lt;/a&gt; Winfrey, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/68-george-clooney&quot;&gt;George Clooney&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/200-jay-z&quot;&gt;Jay-Z&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/409-alicia-keys&quot;&gt;Alicia Keys&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/412-iman&quot;&gt;Iman&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/447-don-cheadle&quot;&gt;Don Cheadle&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The issue features numerous in-depth articles about a variety of subjects concerning Africa, including: Kenya; Desmond Tutu and the fight for equality in South Africa and worldwide; Tunisia&#8217;s success and the threat of Islamic extremism; the role of China in fueling some of the conflict in Africa; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/609-jeffrey-sachs&quot;&gt;Jeffrey Sachs&lt;/a&gt; dream of how to eradicate extreme poverty; the consumer-action strategy of (Product) Red to make miracle &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;AIDS&lt;/span&gt; treatment drugs accessible to the millions who need them; the role of the Congo&#8217;s blacklisted airline pilots in keeping trade flowing; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/20-bill-clinton&quot;&gt;Bill Clinton&#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; stories of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/543-nelson-mandela&quot;&gt;Nelson Mandela&lt;/a&gt;; African music; Africans defying the status quo of poverty, disease, and corruption; suggestions for platform topics for the US 2008 presidential election; the genetic data that links all people on Earth to Africa; identifying the current literary talents of Africa; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.looktothestars.org/celebrity/622-princess-diana&quot;&gt;Princess Diana&amp;#8217;s&lt;/a&gt; post-divorce charity work, in particular her mission to ban land mines; and the Africa connection of the high-profile individuals on Vanity Fair&#8217;s July 2007 issue covers.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.vanityfair.com/politics/africa&quot;&gt;Vanity Fair website&lt;/a&gt; offers links and information about Africa, charities that benefit the continent, and full-text versions of some of the articles.&lt;/p&gt;
