Jamie Lee Curtis Hosts Dream Halloween For Children Affected By Aid Foundations

Filed under: events — parrish @ 1:35 pm

If you’re like me you love Halloween, but always end up at some lame party that isn’t worthy of your costume. Maybe I’m a little bitter, but last year I went as global warming and was totally underappreciated!

Well now there’s finally a party worthy of your Halloweenyness! On Saturday, October 25th, the Children Affected by AIDS Foundation will be holding its 15th annual Dream Halloween event in Los Angeles. See also: a whole bunch of your favorite Hollywood stars decked to the nines in crazy ass costumes!

The event will be hosted by Jamie Lee Curtis and will honor Jada Pinkett Smith and Willow Smith. Furthermore, Wilmer Valderrama, Jason Priestley, Melina Kanakaredes, and Doris Roberts are getting involved by chairing the event! Joe Cristina, founder of CAAF, says:

“World-wide there are more than two million children living with HIV and an additional 15 million who have been orphaned due to AIDS. Events like Dream Halloween Los Angeles allow us to raise critical funds to support these children in need. Our gracious sponsors, event attendees, performers and volunteers have helped us to raise more than $30 million since our inception in 1993.”

So if you wanna do the monster mash for a great cause, visit CAAF’s Webiste and get your tickets now!

Razzi Snap: Alec Baldwin, Jason Priestley Push For Water Conservation

Filed under: campaigns, green and famous, not green, web — michael @ 10:46 am

Alec Baldwin, Justin Trudeau and Jason Priestley recently joined several other celebrities in raising money for the Robert Kennedy Jr. Waterkeeper Alliance at the Fairmont Banff Springs Celebrity Sports Invitational. Said Baldwin, “You (Canada) have so much of what people want here … Don’t do what other people have done, don’t do what the U.S. did, which is to put off until tomorrow what should be done today — protect the resources.” [via jam!]

I consider noise pollution a pretty minor offense for one-time bashes, but environmental officers (they really exist!) in England have not taken lightly reports that Heather Mills upset neighbors with her 40th Birthday party last month in East Sussex. Apparently, Mills’ loud partying angered neighbors and prompted them to make official complaints to the local council. Said one officer, “We received four complaints about noise from loud music and a generator.” Ah, but was that generator running on biodiesel? <grin> [via starpulse]

GreenIsSexy, the environmental website started by actress Rachel McAdams and two of her friends, has a new addition in the form of some ‘eco’ postcards sent by the ladies from around the world. I’m not sure if this is new - or if I just missed it — but we get such insights as Rachel skipping on showers, marveling at Chicago’s green roofs, and reusing yogurt cups. I love her.

Finally, actor Jim Carrey was spotted in Yorkville, Toronto wearing a “Bummer” t-shirt. For those of you that haven’t seen this one, below those words is a big, hulking picture of a Hummer. You can check out a picture of the tee and grab your own here. [Thanks, Scot!]
