Jessica & JT are Making the Difference

Posted on 11 December 2008 by xXxTerra

Last night Jessica Biel and her family’s Make The Difference Network (MTDN) hosted a very special holiday party to benefit Childrens Hospital Los Angeles.  The event was held at the ultra-swank Social in Hollywood.

Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon, Alfonso Ribiero, Shane Sparks, Tiffany Price, Albert Gore Jr., Michael Pena, Nick Swardson, David Koechner, Malinda Williams, Current TV’s Max & Jason, Candice Cane, Ken Davitian, tennis pro Vince Spadea and US Figure skaters Derrick Delmore & Evan Lysacek were some of the stars that came out to support the Biel’s MTDN and CHLA.

But the guest of honor was 13 year-old Tianna Li, who looked very elegant, we must say, as she came to represent all of the beautiful children of CHLA.

The highlight of the evening was the live auction… the surprise co-hosts might have had a little to do with that. The crowd went wild when Justin Timberlake and comedian Kevin James entered the stage. Their back and forth banter was hilarious. Auction items included:

- A day of adventure with actor and former Navy Seal Geoff Reeves, includes skydiving, shooting guns, and enjoying dinner with the American hero

- Body sculpting session with personal trainer to the stars Jason Walsh. The proof is in the pudding: he trains the Biel family–perhaps the best looking family in Hollywood–Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Kate Beckinsale, and many more celebrity hotties.

- Limited edition print of the photo “Devil Proof” by Andy Katz, which ended by going to a generous bidder in the room for $17,000.

- Justin’s special experience of playing 18 holes of golf with him and golf pro Butch Harmon (Tiger Woods’ coach) in Las Vegas; plus a signed set of Caloway clubs.  As you would guess, this started a bidding war on it’s own, but when he generously threw in dinner with him as well, you can imagine the excitement that brought on.  One excited party guest asked Kevin James if he would participate in the golf outing with Justin and when he said yes, thunderous applause from the crowd ensued and Justin and Kevin worked their magic getting the experience to bring in over $35,000 for charity.

- Jessica’s special auction package, which includes walking the red carpet with her at the premiere of her film “Easy Virtue,” watching the movie and attending the after party–all with a guest of your choosing.  The winner also gets a gorgeous MZ Wallace handbag to rock on the red carpet.  The highest bidder in the room was actually an old high school friend of Jessica’s.

By the end of the night, over $75,000 was raised for CHLA. The online auction hosted by MTDN and Auction Cause will remain online at ebay.com/mtdn until December 18th. 100% of the proceeds will benefit Childrens Hospital Los Angeles… SO GO BID!!!

The auction was followed by a special performance by multi-platinum recording artist Alex Band of The Calling singing his hit song “Wherever You Will Go” and his cover of U2’s “One.”

So You Think You Can Dance finalist Twitch lit up the stage with a special dance and told the crowd about his touching experience meeting the children at CHLA.  Jaws dropped at avant-garde troupe StiltWorld’s performance of “Tall Tango,” a sexy and mesmerizing number on stilts, which was accompanied by Flamenco Hip Hop guitarist Tio and DJ Zo.

Special props to In2It Media for producing a fabulous event for a great cause!

Bill Cosby Sweaters For Sale

Posted on 29 May 2008 by CeCe

If you had a TV in the 80’s and 90’s… and I guess even now, you have seen a little television gem known as The Cosby Show.

Bill Cosby Sweaters For Sale!

So what’s one of the main things that people remember from that show?!

Bill Cosby’s sweaters!! … And maybe his awkward, dance moves in the opening credits.

And now everyone of us can express their inner Cosby because Dr. Heathcliff Huxtable is auctioning off three of his old sweaters.

Bill Cosby Sweaters For Sale!

His sweaters are being auctioned off on eBay’s Giving Works charity listing, beginning June 2nd.

Bids start at $5,000, and the proceeds will go to Hello Friend/Ennis William Cosby Foundation.

Cosby established the foundation after the tragic death of his son, Ennis, who was murdered in 1997.

This is the same eBay program that we told you about when we broke news that Kim Kardashian will be auctioning off some of her belongings.

$5,000…really?! I mean you can definitely buy ones just like it at your neighborhood thrift store for $5, I’m sure. I guess the fact that Bill Cosby wore/danced in it adds $4,995 of value to it.

It’s for a good cause, but that’s a steep price for an old sweater.

Who knows how the auction will go, but they probably would have sold quicker if it was back when The Cosby Show was the number one show and Bill was known as America’s Dad.

But good for him! I love Bill Cosby, just not enough to pay that much for a sweater.

She’s urging other celebrities to follow her lead and use eBay’s Giving Works resource to help raise cash for unwanted items.

She adds, “You get to do something good… and look good doing it. And, in case you didn’t know, anytime you sell something on eBay, you can donate a percentage of your proceeds to charity.

“So clean out those closets and get rid of last season’s clothes for a great cause.”
