Charity Gwen Stefani Power of One

GWEN STEFANI: THE OC NEEDS YOUR HELP!

This is a plea to Gwen Stefani! She is probably the most famous celebrity to grow up in Orange County, California, and the OC needs HER now! A friend of ours volunteers at the OC-based charity Power of One- they host drive-thru events handing out food to people in need. The charity is desperate to raise enough money to buy a forklift and refrigerated truck. They launched a GoFundMe campaign and The OC Register wrote about it – but it’s not enough. They need a big celebrity to promote this local charity. One of The Real Housewives of Orange County already turned them down and refused to promote the fundraiser on social media. That brings us to Gwen- SHE has always had a big heart. If she knew about this charity Power of One, she would most certainly help by promoting it to her social media followers. Readers- please pass this info around, so MAYBE Gwen will get wind of it – it’s a long-shot – but worth a try!

Charity eBay Invivo X Sarah Jessica Parker

IS A 15 MINUTE CHAT WITH SARAH JESSICA PARKER WORTH $10,000?

A disgruntled eBay shopper told me this story: Sarah Jessica Parker joined other celebrities and donated her time to raise money for the Fashion Scholarship Fund on eBay. Her offer was a fifteen minute personal zoom conversation, another 45 minute chat about wine, and a case of her Invivo X wine. Bidding started at $1000, and our shopper excitedly bid the minimum. Time went by and Sarah noticed that another celebrity deal sold for only $1000 and she was worried that hers would only pull in that much (she had only one bid.) Sarah abruptly switched to BUY IT NOW for $10,000 to up the ante. Our bidder was very disappointed and couldn’t afford that much. He pondered “Is 15 minutes of gossip and a drink with Sarah Jessica Parker worth $10,000?” Remember it IS for charity…

Bad Fashion Charity Katy Perry

WHAT WAS KATY PERRY THINKING?

Katy Perry looks more like somebody’s Aunt Vera, than a pop star in this awful Christmas inspired get-up. SOME celebrities are in dire need of stylists even when they are NOT on the red carpet. Katy usually looks nice when she is dressed for an event, but when she’s left to her own devices, bad things happen. What she lacks in style, however, Katy makes up for with her good heart. She performed, dressed like this, at a Malibu benefit concert for the Woolsey fire victims held in Calabasas.

Charity Donna D'Errico Volunteer

DONNA D’ERRICO LOOKS TOO GOOD TO BE SLINGING HASH

Former Playboy Playmate and Baywatch swimsuit beauty, Donna D’Errico volunteered to serve food on Thanksgiving at the LA Mission in downtown LA. We have mixed feeling about celebrities who volunteer at the mission- do they just do it for the photo op and good publicity? Would they do it if there were NO paparazzi to document their generosity? Whatever – Donna is like J.Lo – she’s 50 and looks absolutely gorgeous!

Charity Jerry Seinfeld Jessica Seinfeld Kids

JERRY SEINFELD HAS NO TIME FOR THE KARDASHIANS

You can count on seeing the Seinfeld family out together at least once every year at the Good+Foundation – a charity that Jessica founded 15 years ago. It started out with Jessica and her friends packing up their nearly new baby and children’s clothes and donating them to low-income mothers. Through the years the charity has grown considerably and they help needy parents and kids in many more ways. Above, Sascha is already 18 and her brother Shepherd is 12. The son missing is Julian, 15. (Jerry confesses that one of the very few times he lost his temper in front of his kids is when he caught Sascha watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians.)

Charity Isla Fisher Sacha Baron Cohen Syrian Refugees

THERE’S MORE TO SACHA BARON COHEN THAN JUST A SENSE OF HUMOR

Let’s not overlook the fact that Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) and his wife Isla Fisher have donated a million dollars to help Syrian refugees. He ONLY allowed the charity to publicize that fact because it might stimulate others to donate. And they are right. We have YET to hear about any OTHER celebrities who have donated to the cause. Now maybe some others will think about contributing. The Cohens have three young kids and much of the donated money will be used to help the Syrian children.

Charity Emmy Rossum Harry Hamlin Lisa Rinna Publicity

DO CELEBRITIES VOLUNTEER AT THE LA MISSION SIMPLY FOR THE GOOD PUBLICITY?

It’s a tradition. Every year at holiday time, celebrities turn up at the Los Angeles Mission downtown to dish out Christmas dinner for families on skid row. This year Emmy Rossum, Harry Hamlin, Lisa Rinna, and Garcelle Beauvais were among the famous volunteers. We can’t help but wonder if they would actually show up if there were no cameras. (What’s your opinion?) Harrison Ford’s chef son Ben (Ford’s Filling Station) was there cooking, so he was too busy to pose for many photos.

Bikini Charity Girls Lena Dunham

LENA DUNHAM DONS A BIKINI FOR CHARITY

We thought Lena Dunham was brave when she wore that too-tight jogging outfit for “Girls,” but she topped herself when she turned up on the Hamptons beach in this teeny bikini. And her “cover-up” really doesn’t. She nonchalantly did several interviews on the sand. Let’s face it, more people look like Lena in a bikini than Jessica Alba. And Lena was there for a good reason – the Paddle for Pink charity event raising money for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. And that’s what really counts.

Charity Fashion Rihanna

RIHANNA: SHINING LIKE DIAMONDS IN THE SKY

Wow. Rihanna has never looked more like a full-fledged movie star than she does in this photo taken at her own Diamond Ball in Beverly Hills. Rihanna is never boring with her attire, but she’s rarely seen looking this glamorous. Zac Posen created the dress for Rihanna’s first fund-raising event for her own charity dedicated to the memory of her grandparents. She wears it well.

Charity Church eBay Kim Kardashian Kris Jenner scandal

KIM KARDASHIAN: NOT AS CHARITABLE AS SHE WANTS YOU TO THINK

Nothing is more irritating than a celebrity charity scandal – and they are ALL TOO common! You may recall, not long ago, Kim Kardashian put a boatload of clothes for sale on eBay when Kanye cleaned out her closet. She called it a “charity auction.” But according to RadarOnline, the fine print revealed that only 10% of the proceeds went to charity – and THAT was the Life Change Community Church that her mother Kris Jenner founded! Kim pocketed $180,000 from the charity sale and her mother’s “church” got $20,000. Since “churches” like Scientology, don’t pay taxes, all KINDS of tax funny business could be going on there.
