Courteney Cox & Celebrity Friends Raise Funds...



Courteney Cox and David Arquette have a challenge for their famous friends: help raise $1 million in two weeks for Epidermolysis Bullosa, a rare skin condition that primarily affects children.
Joining Cox and Arquette in the awareness- and money-raising effort are Jennifer Aniston, Orlando Bloom, Kate Beckinsale, Rashida Jones, James Marsden and Eva Longoria Parker. All will lend their famous faces and financial support to the Epidermolysis Bullosa Medical Research Foundation, where Cox, Arquette and Aniston serve on the honorary advisory board. (Brad Pitt, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are also members.)
"EB is very personal to me so I'm happy to be a part of this $1 million challenge," Cox said in a statement to The Associated Press. "Now is such an important time to put the spotlight on EB and ensure that research can continue at a fast pace."
Epidermolysis Bullosa is a debilitating genetic disorder that causes the skin to blister and break at the slightest touch. Victims are often covered in burn-like sores that never heal and most don't live beyond age 30.

Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt give millions to charity




     Hollywood power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt donated more than eight million dollars to charity in 2007 according to tax records, it was reported on Friday.
     Fox News reported on its website that the actors funneled more than four million dollars each to the Jolie Pitt Foundation, which was set up two years ago to aid humanitarian causes around the world.
     According to federal tax records, the foundation handed out around 2.4 million dollars in donations in 2007, including one million dollars each to both Doctors without Borders and the Global AIDS Alliance.
     Other cash gifts included 137,935 dollars to the Namibia Red Cross Action Program, the country where the couple's biological daughter Shiloh was born.
     A donation of 100,000 dollars was also made to the Daniel Pearl Foundation, a trust set up to honor the former Wall Street Journal reporter murdered by Islamic extremists in Pakistan. Jolie played Pearl's widow Marianne in last year's acclaimed film "A Mighty Heart."
     In addition, 20,000 dollars was donated to an art park in Los Angeles while two orphanages visited by Jolie received 5,000 dollars each.
     Pitt, 44, and Jolie, 32, are currently reported to be expecting their second child. Pitt and Jolie met on the set of their 2005 film "Mr and Mrs Smith" and later began a romantic relationship.
     Pitt was previously married to "Friends" star Jennifer Aniston, while Jolie has been married twice before.

Richest Young Celebrities - World's Richest Stars Under 25!!!


     People magazine has put together it's list of the world's richest celebrity teens and it should be as interesting as ever.
     Topping the list is actor Daniel Radcliffe, who is said to have earned a whopping $50 million paycheck for his work on the Harry Potter movies. At only 17, this guy is a force to be reckoned with in the movie industry.
     Another young starlet making the richest teens cut is Julia Roberts' niece, Emma Roberts. The Nancy Drew star could fetch as much as $1 million for her next on screen venture. Not too shabby for a 16-year-old who can't even drive a car yet.
     Making her mark in the world of music as well as movies is Hilary Duff, 19, who reportedly makes $2 million per film.
     She told the magazine that she loves to splurge on watches, Marc Jacobs handbags, and lots of vacations. Let's hope that they remember to enjoy it now, because they're only young once.

TOP FIVE CELEBRITY HAIRSTYLES: Reese Witherspoon Tops The list!!!!


Who has the best celebrity hairstyle in all of Hollywood? The fashionable readers of InStyle.com cast their votes and chose the top five celebrities with the hairstyles that we'll all be asking for at our next visit to the salon. Isn't it cute how Brad Pitt's ex-wife and current baby mama both made the cut? Pun intended by the way.

Reese Witherspoon: The ever adorable actress tops the list for her long blonde layers and stylishly tapered bangs.

Jennifer Aniston: She also maintains long blonde layers with an A-line shape while the front pieces are slightly jagged.

Eva Longoria: Rather than cut her naturally wavy long hair, she opts for short hairpieces that allow her to experiment and have fun with the look.

Angelina Jolie: The mother of four (soon to be more) has a gently layered, below-the-shoulder style with cascading layers that flow perfectly.

Jessica Simpson: Her long blonde hair has just a few short pieces in the front that curve around her face. Her stylist Ken Paves told the magazine that the look is universally flattering.
