Black Eyed Peas Hold Annual Celebrity Charity Concert

The Black Eyed Peas held their seventh annual Peapod Charity Benefit Concert in Hollywood on Thursday, and a host of celebrity friends turned out in support.

Held at The Music Box, the show raised much-needed funds for the group’s Peapod Foundation, which aims to give back to the band members’ communities around the world.Founded by will.i.am and Polo Molina of Grassroots Productions, The Peapod benefit concerts date back to the earliest incarnation of The Black Eyed Peas and began as charity toy drives for Los Angeles based children and local orphanages.

The band – including Fergie, will.i.am, apl.de.ap and Taboo – lined up on stage along with John Legend, Jackson Browne, Natasha Bedingfield and Bobby Brown.

Among the stars who attended the event were David Arquette, Kathy Griffin, JoJo, Ciara and Joe Jonas.
