			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.ecorazzi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/jackson_dancing.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-19190" style="margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px;" title="jackson_dancing" src="http://www.ecorazzi.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/jackson_dancing.jpg" alt="jackson_dancing" width="481" height="326" /></a></p>
<p>A host of star musicians is set to gather and record a remake of <strong>Michael Jackson&#8217;s</strong> <em>Will You Be There</em> for charity. The song was released as a single in 1993 and also appeared on the soundtrack to the movie <em>Free Willy</em>.</p>
<p>Musicians expected to participate include <strong>Whitney Houston, John Mayer, Lionel Richie, Usher, Dionne Warwick, Wyclef Jean, Jermaine Jackson</strong>, <strong>Larry King&#8217;s</strong> wife <strong>Shawn King</strong> and possibly <strong>Jennifer Hudson</strong>. Proceeds from the song are going to be split between the <a href="http://www.lkcf.org/" target="_blank">Larry King Cardiac Foundation</a> and an unspecified charity close to Jackson.</p>
<p>Not surprisingly, Jackson was very generous with his money throughout his career &#8212; and we can expect more charity events like this one to take place in remembrance. The big one to watch is the planned tribute concert in Vienna, something <a href="http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2009/08/12/jackson-investigation-continues-as-tribute-lp-concert-shape-up/" target="_blank"><strong>Jermaine Jackson</strong> predicts</a> could attract an audience of over 1 billion people through television alone. An event of that magnitude could raise a massive amount of cash for charity organizations, something we would love to see happen in honor of the King of Pop. Stay tuned &#8212; and check out Jackson&#8217;s video for <em>Will You Be There</em> after the jump below.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ecorazzi.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/hempclassics.gif" alt="hempclassics.gif" align="left" hspace="7" vspace="3" />Alternatives to disposable diapers are now in vogue, and reusable cloth nappies are showing up on the radar of many celebrity moms. Take the latest offering from Australian-based company <a href="http://www.cutetooshies.com.au" target="_blank">Cute Tooshies</a>. Their new fitted cloth diapers are made from bamboo and hemp and use sustainable and eco-friendly materials. From the site,</p>
<p>&#8220;Cute Tooshies are renowned for creating their Bamboo &amp; Hemp fitted cloth nappies, providing parents with an environmentally friendly alternative to disposable nappies. What was originally created by Melbourne Mum, Vanessa Carnevale, as a hobby, is now a thriving international business with Cute Tooshies being sold in the UK, Canada, France, Spain, Germany, New Zealand and Malaysia.&#8221;</p>
<p>Celebrity parents currently scooping up the goods include <strong>Christina Aguilera, Toni Collette, M</strong><strong>illa Jovovich, Usher, Jill Hennessy</strong>, and .</p>
<p>To reduce the expense and environmental impact of shipping &#8216;green&#8217; diapers from Australia, Cute Tooshies has outsourced their manufacturing to international locales. It&#8217;s encouraging to note that their partners all maintain fair pricing, fair trade and environmentally friendly conditions.</p>

<p>With all the do goodness running around this holiday season, it is hard to keep up with the many celebrities and the causes that they support.  While Angie and Brad clearly steal the humanitarian headlines, we discovered a whole slew of new celebs supporting amazing organizations from this week&#8217;s <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/">US weekly</a>.  A few highlights and some organizations that run close to celebrity hearts include:</p>
<p><strong> Lucy Liu </strong>has been an active ambassador to <a href="http://www.unicef.org/">UNICEF</a> since 2005 and raised more than $250,000 by auctioning her own artwork.</p>
<p><strong>Courtney Cox</strong> became involved with <a href="http://www.ebkids.org/">The Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation</a> which raises money for a rare genetic condition.  She became involved over three years ago when her manager&#8217;s nephew was diagnosed.</p>
<p><strong>Kristin Davis</strong> got involved with <a href="http://www.oxfam.com/">Oxfam America</a> after the 2004 tsunami and is a big fan of the <a href="http://www.oxfamamericaunwrapped.com/">OxfamAmericaUnwrapped.com </a>program which provides socially conscious gift giving solutions.</p>
<p><strong>Claire Danes</strong> keeps her involvement close to home by helping teachers in needy public schools post project proposals on <a href="http://www.donorschoose.org/homepage/main.html">Donorschoose.org</a>.  Attending NYC public schools in her early teens, Danes became involved in 2004 after first being introduced to the organization.</p>
<p><strong>Usher </strong>believes in getting physically involved and is helping bring displaced families from Katrina back home through <a href="http://ushersnewlook.org/home.html">Usher&#8217;s New Look</a> program which has already helped hundreds of families.</p>
<p>Check out  more from from <strong>Eva Mendes, John Legend, Leslie Bibb, </strong>and <strong>Eric Szmanda</strong> in <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity_charities_120307?slideshow_id=431&amp;o=0">US Weekly&#8217;s celebs and their causes</a> on newsstands now.</p>
