Patricia Arquette and Maria Bello are in Haiti with Give Love and they’re donating some of their time there to help out the Starkey Hearing Foundation. The foundation helps to provide people with hearing aids so they can hear better instead of silence.
Seeing the two actresses placing hearing aids on those two men in Haiti brought tears to my eyes. The fact they are actually doing good and helping people with the gift of hearing is just so admirable to me. That is not all they are doing while they are down there and this is not either one of their first trips there which is just so amazing. While so many celebs just threw money at Haiti (which is good), these two women are getting their hands dirty to really help the people that need it.
And because of what they are doing we are getting to see the smiles on those men faces and that is just so beautiful to me. Their happiness is speaking louder than any word they can now hear.
You might have heard of The Starkey Hearing Foundation because that is the charity that Marlee Matlin raised $1 million for on The Celebrity Apprentice. I wonder if some of that money is what helped to put hearing aids on those grateful men’s ears?
Cyndi Lauper was stuck at Buenos Aires’ Jorge Newbery Airport when her flight was delayed so she took the mic and gave an impromptu performance of her most famous song. Because she was able to She Bop her tune Girls Just Want to Have Fun to the frustrated passengers, and it proves that Time After Time her music can make anyone happy even in a crappy situation! She showed her True Colors and maybe She not So Unusual!

Yesterday was the lamest Halloween for celebrities that I can remember except for Kate Beckinsale and her husband Len Wiseman. The couple dressed up as Frankenstein and the Bride of Frankenstein, and in my book they won the night’s best dressed. They don’t win anything but the mention, but hey it is better than nothing…right?
Seriously what was up with all the lame Halloween costumes this year even Heidi Klum and Seal’s party made me yawn and there is always at least one wow outfit. Not this year.
Three weeks ago Michael Douglas found out he has Stage 4 throat cancer and today he was on The Late Show with David Letterman talking about it. Listening to him talk about what he is going through with such bravery and optimism (which he needs to be) makes me have the utmost respect for him. I am sure that is a quality he learned from his father who hasn’t let a stroke stop him.
My prayers are with him that he makes it through this battle quickly.
For 25 years Penn Jillette has been growing out his ponytail and he finally decided to cut it of for a good cause…Locks of Love. The Las Vegas magician went for the new look when a co-worker at the Rio Hotel asked everyone with long hair who works there to donate their locks for the charity because her granddaughter who is suffering from cancer will most likely need it as she battles the disease with chemotherapy.
When it came time for the actual donation his co-star Teller was the one who made the cut and in his style he didn’t say anything as he did it.
Wile Penn might not have won Dancing with the Stars, he will always be a winner in my book and that is no Bull Sh!t!!!
