Will, Willow, Jaden and Jada Pinkett Smith at the New York premiere of the new film ‘The Day The Earth Stood Still’ held at the AMC Loews Lincoln Square Theatre, NYC.

Recommended Movies – I had the pleasure of most recently seeing “Hancock” I had heard it was based off of a comic book or something to that figure so I never bothered with it when it was in the theatres. I truly loved this movie and was surprised it didn’t seem to do better than it did in the box office! The story is based off of this loser drunk who happens to have super powers. Hates it when people call him the “a” word (I am sure you can figure out the rest of the 7 letter naughty word!) and doesn’t care what messes he makes or how he looks while he tries to save others and stop criminals he destroys half of the city without a care. He eventually saves someones life who changes his life in return forever. I loved the movie and it ended welll but definitely made me wish there was more!

Celine Dion plays at the Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City. This picture is just hilarious and its not her first “funny moment” kind of picture as she frequently makes these hilarious faces while performing! If anything I would attend a concert just for the sheer laughs I would get watching her facial expressions!

Fun Facts about Celine Dion – Celine Dion is the youngest of 14 children! Celine Dion’s manager mortgaged his home to help launch her career.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt at ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ premiere in Westwood, California.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any mans life can be. Directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett with Taraji P. Henson, Tilda Swinton, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Julia Ormond, Benjamin Button, is a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.- courtesy of IMDb

Jennifer Lopez looking downright gorgeous at the premiere of Brad Pitt’s new movie ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ premiere in Westwood, California. Jennifer Lopez has been a busy woman giving birth to twins Max and Emme, participating in a triathlon and various other activities! She looks gorgeous!

Recommended Movies – “Enough” this movie is great for any woman and while it might be considered a chic flick I see it as a kick butt remake of “Sleeping with the Enemy” except this time there is a kid involved. If you like something that doesn’t scream “chic flick” check out “The Cell” this movie is awesome its about a psychotherapist journeys inside a comatose serial killer in the hopes of saving his latest victim. The movie also stars Vince Vaughn and Vincent D’Onofrio (Law and Order: Criminal Intent and yes he is just as weird as in the show his role in the movie suits him perfectly!)

Eva Longoria Parker at the Los Angeles premiere for ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ at Mann’s Village in Westwood, California.

Recommended Movies and Television – Desperate Housewives – if you haven’t heard of this show already your living in a hole a really really deep one! Eva Longoria plays Gabby on the show and is just one of the many different flavor of women on Wisteria Lane. Even if gossiping , trouble-making bored housewives aren’t your forte its still funny to tune in so often to thank god your not them… and wanna smack anyone you meet who is. “Over Her Dead Body” well actuality this movie was considered a flop but it does really have its funny moments and worth the watch even once. I promise you wont lose too many braincells. Essentially its about a woman who dies on her wedding day and then haunts her was-to-be husband’s new love. If anything its a movie about what many of us women want to do if our significant others starts a relationship too soon after we die, or heck for some of the more loonier set, AT ALL.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes take Suri Cruise to FAO Schwarz. The couple were buying games and toys to donate to Stockings with Care, a nonprofit organization that gives presents to needy children.

From the website Stockingswithcare.org

Stockings with Care is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to making sure that families in need have everything they need to create the magic of Christmas morning for their kids. Last year, Stockings with Care played Santa to over 2000 kids. For us, it ‘s about opening hearts, inspiring dreams and preserving the dignity of parents and their families.

Stockings with Care works with coalitions that assist families either living in homeless shelters or who are in jeopardy of becoming homeless and can not afford to celebrate their holiday. Social workers at each of these coalitions work with the parents to make their wish lists. These lists are passed on to Stockings with Care. Through the generosity of our individual Santas, private and corporate donors and a small army of volunteers, we make sure that every child gets at least two things on their list and that each child has at least three gifts to open on Christmas morning. Thousands of gifts are wrapped and delivered to the parents, empowering them to create magic for their kids.

Of course, lots of kids ask for what every kids wants – toys. But there are an equal number of requests for life’s essentials. Clothes. Books. Strollers, Diapers. One year, a child even asked for dog food so that they didn’t have to give up the family dog that they could no longer afford. We delivered a year’s supply of dog food.

HISTORY

Stockings With Care was founded in 1992 by Rosalie Joseph and Tom Fontana. And every year since then, sometime in early October, we come together to make this happen. There is no office. There are no salaries. Members have even donated their phone numbers for the two months leading up to the holidays. 100% of the money we raise and 100% of our volunteers’ efforts go to our kids.
