Hope for Haiti

Tonight is the Hope for Haiti benefit organized by George Clooney. I've been watching the live feed on CNN, though the west coast viewing on networks doesn't start for a couple of hours yet. Though I've been struggling to get by myself, I had to give a few dollars. I, at least, have a roof over my head. Those people have nothing at all now. It's been so hard to watch on the news.

I did get to have some fun. For the first time in my life during one of these celebrity things, I actually got to talk to a celebrity. Molly Sims of Saturday Night Live was the one who got my call. Then all of a sudden, there was Chris Pine of Star Trek. It was a two-fer as Molly called it. Then all of a sudden, Olivia Wilde of House, M.D. got into the act. How fun as that? Pretty fun.

I know it's hard when we're all struggling, but I hope we all come together to help this country in need.

Golden Highlights

I watched the Golden Globes last night and found it to be one of the more enjoyable award shows of recent times, and it had nothing to do with the host. I just adored Mo'Nique's speech at the beginning and then Sandra Bullock's and Jeff Bridge's. There was such humility in these expressions. For humor, we had Robert Downey Jr. For going with the flow, there was the amazing Paul McCartney. It's just too bad he didn't win, but I love that he attended. I even liked how George Clooney tried to keep that low profile, not even wanting to acknowledge his role in getting the Hope for Haiti charity event set up (it will air on several channels net Friday). Those were the highlights for me.
