8 BALLS FOR LOVE
Yeah, I’m still mad at myself for missing the All-Star fun in New Orleans, watching it from home just ain’t the same as being there. Non-the-less, props to some of our NBA babes for their wickedly delicious dunks, and love to all those who kicked in a few bucks to a city desperately in need…here’s my very brief review, because I dont feel like working today.
The 4th annual ‘Zo & Magic’s 8-Ball Challenge’ was a raging success. The celebrity pool tournement has raised more than $750,000 to-date in efforts to make the kids smile. Toyota also did their part by partnering with the dynamic due of Alonzo Mourning and Magic Johnson, and donated $10,000 to help West Jefferson High’s music department. “Partnering with community leaders like Alonzo (Mourning) and Magic (Johnson) gave us great direction as to how to best lend a helping hand,” said Keith Dahl, national marketing manager for Toyota. “Since they both leverage their celebrity status to assist others, we were able to step in and be a true vehicle of change for this community.” Among the long list of 8-Ball participants: Ludacris, Chris Tucker, Gabrielle Union, Reggie Bush, Julius Erving and my Melo.
OH 2 BE JET LI
One celebrity that is now earmarked for stalking at the next event is Jet Li.
ALYSSA
Another one that was everywhere was Alyssa Milano. While I wouldn’t necessarily say I’m a fan, I gotta give her a break. Milano was busy promoting her new line of jewelry during All-Star festivities, and if Dikembe Mutombo can give her support, then she’s gotta be all right.
AMORE FOR AMARE
Amare Stoudemire. Kill me now…For all the scoop on last weeks NBA All Star hotties in action, along with celebrity sightings, check out NBA.com.
BONO RAISES THE BAR
One person who wasn’t spotted in New Orleans was U2 front-man/humanitarian/god, Bono. Proving that indeed, one man can change the world, Bono held an auction for Red in NY on Valentines Day. Putting most celebrity fundraisers to shame, Bono raised over $40M for aids research. Think about it people, over $40 Million in one night. Read my full review at www.looktothestars.org.
