On Sunday, May 4, 2008, Hollywire attended “Jenny’s Walk,” a 5K walk held at San Diego State University in memory of former student Jenny Poliakoff. The walkathon, MC’d by Johnny V of VH1’s Scott Baio is 46… and Pregnant and VJ Michael Benz, raised more than $104,000 for The Friendship Circle, an organization dedicated to helping special needs children and their families of which Jenny was a founding volunteer.

The also event had support from celebrities, including singer Jeff Timmons of 98 Degrees, actress Jillian Murray, to star in David Zucker’s An American Carol, actor Michael Copon, to star in the prequel to Scorpion King, singer (and former beauty on The Bachelor) Ashlee Willis, actor and producer Paul Alessi, producer Jeff Kalligheri, and - last, but certainly not least - Emmy Award winner Carlos Ramirez (a.k.a. twin brother of Efrin ‘Pedro’ Ramirez in Napoleon Dynamite).

Participants walked a path through SDSU’s campus and once they crossed the finish line, enjoyed a fun-filled day of barbecue, a carnival full of face painting, games and sports activities for children and adults, an award ceremony to recognize extraordinary kids and volunteers, and, likely the most memorable part of the day for the many swooning females, a musical performance by Jeff Timmons.

Still lookin’ good, Jeff!

“I’m so blessed to be where I am and have what I have. This is the least I can do for the community and for the people who need it most,” said Jeff, an avid supporter of children’s charities. “Being a dad myself, I feel very strong about caring for kids, helping them live healthy lives and have bright futures.”

Speaking of bright futures, Hollywire happened to notice a special spark between Jeff and actress Jillian Murray.

HW: What ever happened to Deborah Gibson, Jeff?

JT: (Laughs) That was a completely fabricated rumor that started after she and I attended a charity event. It wasn’t even like we went together. The most we did together was take a photo. She’s a great person, but we’ve never been anything.

HW: So, what about Jillian? You and her seem to be very close. Nice catch, she’s HOT!

JT: (Breaks out in laughter again) Yes, she is beautiful.

HW: So, you two are dating??

JT: (Grins) You’re killing me here! No, she I are a good friends.

Yeah, we’ve never heard that one before. Hmmm… with the way things are going in Hollywood, maybe we should add Jillian to our Baby Bump Patrol list… just in case.

P.S. How adorable are they??

Anyway, if you aren’t already familiar with her, Jillian Murray has been on Drake and Josh, appeared on various television shows, plays one of the lead video game characters in Xbox’s Mass Effect, but most recently has been busy filming American High School, Knuckle Draggers, and David Zucker’s An American Carol, where she will co-star with Kelsey Grammer and Kevin Farley (brother of the late Chris Farley). An American Carol is set to release on the big screen September 13th of this year.

“I was never able to do as much volunteer work as I wanted when I was a kid,” said Jillian, regrettably. “But now I make it a point to give my time to supporting such important causes. Jenny was an amazing person, and it’s very important for me to spread the blessings I have been given in my life like she did.”

Another fact about Jillian… she’s a dog lover and has a little yorkie of her own named Bijou.
