People.com is reporting on a fundraising event last weekend that put Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo on cupcake duty, as well as the following sightings:
Rachel Bilson, at the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation Celebrity Carnival in Los Angeles, helping children at the Disney Princess castle make wands decorated with beads and ribbons. Also feeling artistic: Carmen Electra decorated shirts – and even fielded a kiss on the cheek from her rocker ex Dave Navarro. The pair hugged and joked, and Electra instructed funnyman Chris Kattan to pull on Navarro's beard. (She says that's how they say "hello!") Meanwhile, The Hills' Heidi Montag (there with her fiancé Spencer Pratt had plenty of affection for Lance Bass, nabbing a hug from the singer, who was on hand to judge a dance contest. (source)
Jamie Lynn Spears
A whole slew of stars turned out. I haven't seen the total numbers, but past years' events have raised upward of $1.4 million toward the Pediatric AIDS Foundation's programs and research.

this is in reponse to the
this is in reponse to the comment above. well some stars do DoSomething. like they do donate their money. and they have organizations doing non-profit work. its only that some party animals, some celebrities constantly turning up in rehabs and those celebrities who just cant kick those drug and alcohol habit they have--are the ones that are no good. and those are the people who shouldnt be taken as role models.
Do the stars actually DoSomething?
It's sad but true: America (and much of the world)'s role models are actors and actresses. It's easy for people to fall in love with characters that these actors play, but they have got to make the distinction between the two. What would redeem stars in my eyes would be their publicized efforts to do "good," to do more than wallow around in their trillion dollar pools all day long, and that's exactly what this blog is for! But now I'm thinking...if there was not a famous face attached to many causes, how many American kids would be interested in them? What do others think?
