Russell Simmons’

The benefit party is one of the most anticipated events of the year and helps raise money for Simmons’ Rush Philanthropic Arts Foundation — an organization started by Simmons to connect disadvantaged youth with art programs.

The online auction includes a slew of extra special experiences, including a chance to join an intimate (vegan) dinner with Bill Clinton at Simmons’ private residence in New York on July 20. Other items include the chance to meet Deepak Chopra and Ice T, yoga lessons with Simmons, meet-and-greets with Third Eye Blind and Fall Out Boy, exclusive tickets to Coldplay, and much more.

The Art For Life Garden Benefit Party will be held on July 18th and will feature an extraordinary vegan dinner prepared by world famous chef Tom Colicchio.

You gotta love it when celebrities are on game shows! OK, well even if you don’t, you gotta love the fact that when celebrities are on game shows all the money goes toward charity, right? 

In a recent episode of Celebrity Family Feud, a few famous families battled it out for some serious cash, and all for the sake of charity. In the first half, Joan and Melissa Rivers — who were playing for a guide-dog charity – were pitted against hip-hop and television star, Ice T, who played for Unity Two, a gang intervention organization. And in the second half, Disney star and former Cosby kid, Raven Symone was up against the family of Las Vegas legend, Wayne Newton.

Long story short — by the end of the game Team Rivers had won the $50,000 (which I was kind of rooting for anyway since they’re regular Ecorazzi readers) and the Ravon-Symone team were runners-up, earning a $10,000 donation for their charity.

To catch more of Celebrity Family Feud watch NBC on Tuesdays at 8/7c.
