Celebrities Doing Good: Oprah And Sean Penn In Haiti!


Look at the rich people getting all dirty for a good cause....I CAN DIG IT!

It's no secret that Oscar winning actor Sean Penn has a big heart and voice to match when it comes to his charities, specifically his work in Haiti. Now, he is putting his celebrity to more use by visiting the poor-ridden country by bringing in more star power to increase awareness.....THEEEEEEEE Oprah Winfrey!

The two toured the camp that was set up by Penn’s J/P Human Relief Organization to provide assistance to people displaced by the 2010 earthquake. Penn’s organization has housed more than 50,000 people on what was once a 9-hole golf course.


GOOD WORK!

Celebrities Doing Good: Mary-Kate And Ashley Olsen Partner With 'TOMS Shoes' In Honduras!



As if we needed another reason to LOVE the Olsen Twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen proved yet again why they are at the top of my faves!

The acting/designing duo lent their celebrity recently to TOMS Shoes and the children of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, earlier this summer, delivering TOMS walking shoes to those in need.
“I think it’s really taught me a little bit more about myself and how I can be more affectionate and loving,” Mary-Kate says. “And how putting a smile on a kid’s face is … well, there’s nothing like it.” Adds Ashley, “The children are so special, kind, they’re loving, welcoming and they’re just incredible.”
Although I despise TOMS shoes, this is such a great cause. Just precious!

WHOA! That's not very "Peace and Love", Alicia?!?! On Twitter? Ok.

“Hi boyz n girls….bad news im afraid. This tooth ain’t getting better in time for tonight, not enough to sing anyway. I’m really sorry folks. You watch, it’ll be totally fine by tomorrow. Bloody typical. I hope not too many of my lovelies managed to grab a ticket. Of course I’d recommend going anyway, Alicia is great live, and @KeepaChildAlive is great charity to donate to.”

Madonna Has To AXE Plans On Her Malawi School!


This just goes to show you that because a person has celebrity status doesn't mean they can fulfill all of their goals.

This proved true with Madonna and her plans to open a school in Malawi under her Raising Malawi foundation. It is being reported that the foundation isn’t doing well and therefore will not move forward with building the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls.

Sad.

Co-founder Michael Berg told press, "A thoughtful decision has been made to discontinue plans for the Raising Malawi Academy for Girls, as it was originally conceived." Madonna added, "There's a real education crisis in Malawi. Sixty-seven percent of girls don't go to secondary school, and this is simply unacceptable. Our team is going to work hard to address this in every way we can. While I'm proud of [other] accomplishments, I'm frustrated that our education work has not moved forward in a faster way."

Same here! Hopefully some big-shot will come along to try and help fund the project. Come on Madonna! Call on some of those wealthy friends of yours....we know you have plenty!

Just When You Thought You Couldn't Love Beyonce Anymore....


...and then THIS happens!
The National Association of Broadcasters Education Foundation (NABEF) is getting ready to bust some moves.  The foundation is partnering with Beyonce for the "Let's Move! Flash Workout" initiative to show support for Michelle Obama's "Let's Move" campaign to curb childhood obesity. The event calls for middle school students around the U.S. to perform a pre-choreographed "Let's Move" dance exercise at 1:42 p.m. on May 3.  The event is being produced in partnership with the National Middle School Association, the National School Boards Association and the American Association of School Administrators. Beyonce has re-written and re-recorded one of her songs and is providing and instructional video demonstrating the "Let's Move! Flash Workout" routine. "NABEF is proud to assist the First Lady's 'Let's Move!' campaign and supports efforts to address the epidemic of childhood obesity," said NABEF President Marcellus Alexander.  "We can think of no greater gift to America than keeping our schoolchildren healthy." On Wednesday, the First Lady spoke on a conference call with Secretary of Education Arne Duncan and Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to discuss advancing the "Let's Move!" program goal of doubling the number of U.S. schools participating in the Department of Agriculture's HealthierUS School Challenge Program.
And people wonder why I "stan" for this woman! It's not because of the lacefronts, Dancers....TRUST!
