I remember when I got my foot-powered scooter back when they were just coming into style (circ. 1989) and zipping all over town to show off my cool, new street machine. Well, it was cool for about a year or so. Then, my friends and I completely transitioned to bikes, leaving my scooter to sit in the garage. I think it’s still there. So sad.

Anyways, Matthew Broderick and his son James are certainly digging the scooter scene. The two were spotted leaving James’s school in NYC and heading home on the green machines with helmets and backpacks. Too cute.

It’s great to see kids growing up with the idea of wearing helmets. Makes me wonder how I survived not wearing one during my own childhood. Anyone else find it odd that everyone wears helmets today — when, say, 12 years ago that wasn’t the case?

After an only mildly successful stint as the host of the Oscars, Stewart is putting on his master of ceremonies hat (it’s blue with feathers) once again for the second Night of Too Many Stars: An Overbooked Benefit for Autism Education.

The celebrity infused fundraiser will help raise money for schools and educational programs for autistic children and adults. The last benefit was held in October of 2006 and raised more than $2.6 billion. THAT IS NOT A TYPO PEOPLE!!! 2.6 BILLION!!!!! [Ed note: Actually, that is a typo. $2.6 billion? The sourced article was a bit too generous, though we'd love to believe it true. Actual amount was $2.5 million.]

This year the Night of Too Many Stars: An Overbooked Benefit for Autism Education will take place on April 13th at the Beacon Theater in New York and will also air live on Comedy Central at 8 pm EST. You can expect performances by Will Ferrell, Steve Carell, Adam Sandler, Tina Fey, Stephen Colbert, Conan O’Brien, Sarah Silverman and Amy Poehler. And appearances by Jonah Hill, Matthew Broderick, Kevin James, Rosie O’Donnell and Susie Essman.

Can’t afford to attend the event live (like me)? Don’t have cable (like me)? No worries! This year you can download the show on iTunes and xBox Live Marketplace for $1.99…with all of the proceeds going to charity, of course.
