Gerard Butler, Anna Lynne McCord and Others Band Together to Rebuild Haiti

Posted on 17 February 2010 by ksouthall

Gerard Butler

Gerard Butler, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz and many other celebrities join up with Artists for Peace and Justice and make long term commitments for the children of Haiti. Hollywood is coming together offering their funds, support, and names to spread the word about Haiti, and APJ has focused efforts specifically on the children of Port au Prince. For the children, school is typically the only place they get essential things, such as clean drinking water, food and medical attention.

“Emergency relief is still very important — with the help of Operation USA, last week we trucked in another $150,000 in food and supplies to sustain the St. Luke’s program and the children and families of the slums that rely upon its outreach programs,” says Paul Haggis, Founder of APJ. Schools right now might not seem like the most important thing to reestablish but it just isn’t true. The children may not be in urgent need of an education, but they desperately need physical and psychological support. They need a daily meal and water and medical care that comes with our schools. These thousands of children need a safe place to gather, where they can find hope, and even joy and beauty. The issues on the rise right now are gangs, violent crime, prostitution and child slavery. Schools are more important now than ever.”

The big thing here, is the celebrities have promised a yearly donation amount of $50,000.00 for the next five years. The people are making a statement that they will not forget about Haiti, it is so important that they get continued support as the people of Haiti continue to rebuild. Each donation will fully sustain a street school in Port-au-Prince including providing clean water, meals, medical supplies and educational material to the children. It truly is commendable and I hope others with celebrity status step up and make a pledge to continue to help the children of Haiti.

Here is the complete list of the celebrities that have pledged to help

Simon Baker with wife Rebecca

Javier Bardem

Jackson Browne

Gerard Butler

Daniel Craig

Russell Crowe with wife and musician Danielle Spencer

Penelope Cruz

Clint Eastwood with wife Dina

Gale Anne Hurd

The following gracious donors have also committed to supporting APJ as their annual $10,000 donation for ten years ($100,000 total) will sponsor an entire classroom:

AnnaLynne McCord

Mischa Barton Prefers Kissing Girls

Posted on 09 December 2009 by Kat

Mischa Barton prefers kissing girls… at least on set!  The former OC and Beautiful Life actress claims its easier to relax during girl-on-girl scenes.

mischa-barton

Barton recently said:

“I don’t know why that keeps coming up. It doesn’t annoy me that much. It’s so much easier to kiss another girl. You’re so much more relaxed filming and you can have a laugh. It can get a bit tense with a guy.”

Mischa’s lesbian love scenes include: The OC, where her character, Marissa Cooper, had a relationship with guest star Olivia Wilde’s character. Barton was also pictured kissing Evan Rachel Wood in  Once and Again.

Most recently, Barton starred in the 2008 film You and I, about two teenage girls who fall in love.  The movie also stars girl band, T.A.T.U.

Weird.

Maxim’s Hot 100! Look at These Sexy Sexy Ladies …

Posted on 25 November 2009 by Cindy

Oh, are you in for a treat! Here’s the Top 10 of Maxim’s Top 100 Hottest Women…

#1 Well, I don’t think Olivia Wilde deserved #1…I don’t think she’s hotter than Megan Fox at all.  But, on a sidenote: after doing a search for her on the interwebs, I found out her birth name was Olivia Jane Cockburn.  That must’ve been a horrible for her as a child, so let’s just let her enjoy her #1 spot as a make-up for all the ridicule she probably got through the growing years!

#2 Megan Fox, hot as usual… while we all appreciate her, it seems as though maybe Scarlett Johansson might not after Fox’s comments in Esquire magazine.

#3 Bar Rafael–beautiful model made famous by dating none other than Leonardo Di Caprio.  Oh, he loves to date those models doesn’t he?

#4 Beauty runs in the blood in Malin Akerman’s family as her mother was also a model.  Us girls will probably best know her for her role as the younger sister in 27 Dresses, while the guys likely remember her as Silk Spectre II in the Watchmen.  I think we should all be on the lookout for more from Malin.

#5 OMG, who doesn’t love the beautiful Mila Kunis?!  From the moment I saw her on Forgetting Sarah Marshall, she instantly became one of my favs.  I really hope she’ll continue to do more romantic comedies.  And, you’ve got to appreciate her previous role on That ’70s Show & that she is the voice of Meg Griffin from Family Guy–she’s just the ultimate actress (I think so anyway!).

#6  Eliza Dushku, well, I don’t have much to say about her…except that her name is hard to pronounce.  So, I’ll give you an IMDB trivia fact about her name: Dushku was the only family with that surname in the United States of America in 1920 and were living in Massaschusetts. [Riveting, I know.]

#7 I’m kind of shocked that Adriana Lima isn’t up in the top 5.  I’d swap her out with Olivia really; but, I don’t work for Maxim so my opinion really doesn’t matter now, does it?

#8  Rihanna, well big thighs or not, you cannot deny her sexy sultriness.  She definitely belongs on this list, but it’s crazy to think a girl this hot could allow herself to be a part of an abusive relationship, right?

#9  Jordana Brewster, another top 10 hottie with hotness running in the blood, as her mother was also a model.  Bet you didn’t know that the gorgeous Jordana was a Yale graduate…graduated 2003.  Smart & beautiful–wow, what a deadly combination.    She’s best know for her roles in The Fast & the Furious and Fast & Furious [lame that they did that with the sequel], but I expect to see a lot more of her in the future too.  She’s just so cute!

#10 While I’ve never really loved Love-Hewitt, Jennifer is looking rather smokey in this pic.  I don’t know why, but she’s always just kind of annoyed me, so I probably wouldn’t have put her in the top 10.  I’m sure you guys have never been annoyed by this girl though.

Go pick up a Maxim magazine to see all 100 in their full glory!

Olivia Wilde On GQ’s October 2009 Issue

Posted on 15 September 2009 by Tammy Cakes

olivia-wilde-october-2009-gq-magazine-coverHere are pics of Olivia Wilde in the October 2009 issue of GQ magazine. In the article Olivia talks about being an actress, her husband, and how thankful she is that she was given the opportunity to act.

Here are the highlights:

On her roles as an actress changing: “I’m definitely at this point now where things are shifting, they’re changing very fast, the only role I really don’t understand is this recent sort of ‘sexiest-vixen’ thing. It doesn’t feel like me, doesn’t feel natural.”

On being named number 1 on Maxim’s Hottest 100 list: “The day they announced it, I hid in my bathtub with a big glass of wine,” she says. “Anytime anyone describes you with a superlative, people are going to disagree. And I didn’t want to have to deal with those people.”

olivia-wilde-october-2009-gq-magazine-8On seeing Twilight star Robert Pattinson mobbed at Comic-Con: “I did not envy him. I think it’s the frog-in-boiling-water concept. Robert Pattinson jumped in boiling water and has stayed in it, and hopefully will survive. Whereas I entered the water when it was cold, and it’s been slowly heating up—a slooooow boil. Maybe I won’t realize when it’s getting dangerous.”

On being a young married actress: “There were times when people thought it would really hurt me. People said I shouldn’t be married, or lie about being married, or I should be married to a movie star or rock star.”

On wise advice given to her by family friend, British actress Julie Christie: “She said that none of this really matters. It’s all temporary. She got certain opportunities because she was a beauty, a fashion icon, and she was very grateful for them. And that’s the stance I’ve taken–I’m very grateful, very flattered, and if it gives me an opportunity to work, great. It’s not something I denounce or resent…but it’s certainly not something I expected.”

Olivia Wilde On The July 2009 Issue Of Maxim Magazine

Posted on 15 June 2009 by Tammy Cakes

Year One’s Olivia Wilde is on the July 2009 issue of Maxim magazine. Megan Fox is claiming that she “made” this young actress as popular as she is because of her crush on her. I’m not buying it. I mean look at Olivia. She is stunning. She doesn’t need any help boosting her celebrity status. This girl actually has both beauty and talent, unlike Megan.
