As host of NBC’s The Biggest Loser, Alison Sweeney knows the important role hydration plays in a healthy lifestyle – so it was no surprise that the Days of our Lives star joined Thermos to celebrate the launch of Thermos’ www.hydrationforall.com website on September 9.

The event – held at the ABC Kids Expo in Las Vegas – featured the chance to meet Sweeney and listen to her talk about the ways she keeps her own family hydrated and healthy.

The new website aims to educate families on the importance of staying properly hydrated, start a community to exchange tips on healthier, more active lives, and talk about hydration issues around the world. The site has also partnered with charity:water to help bring clean water to people in need.

Fans of Allison Sweeney shouldn’t forget about the Celebrity Jeans auction currently running at www.clothesoffourback.org. Proceeds from the auction, which runs until September 17, will go to America’s Second Harvest, The Art of Elysium, Hope North, and H.E.L.P. Malawi.

Actress Jennifer Connelly has appeared in a new commercial on US television, highlighting the need to provide clean drinking water to millions of people around the world.

The star of films such as Blood Diamond and Dark Water joined Terry George – director of Hotel Rwanda – to make the Public Service Announcement for Charity:Water, an organization that aims to bring clean and safe water into impoverished communities.

“We wanted to bring the harsh reality we saw in Africa home to our friends,” said advert creator Nigel Lythgoe. “The reality that millions of women and children walk miles each day to collect murky green water from swamps. Water that kills kids. We wanted to put an end to it.”

In the PSA, which had its first airing during last week’s Idol Gives Back TV special, Connelly is shown collecting water from stagnant ponds in Central Park and giving it to her children to drink.

The charity hopes the commercial will encourage people to donate to their well drilling projects in Africa, India, and Central America. To find out more, watch the advert and visit the Charity:Water website.
