Un paparazzo a embouti la voiture de la compagne de Joel Madden. Il conduisait sans permis.S’il n’a rien à craindre pour son permis puisqu’il n’avait jamais pris la peine de le passer, Eduardo Arrivabene peut s’attendre à avoir rapidement des nouvelles de la justice.

quote of the evening, “I love David Arquette so much, man!” she exclaimed. “Who else would
put himself out there like this?!”  Arquette is a dedicated giver to the foodbank in Venice, and
his wife, Courtney Cox, shared with the crowd that he faithfully volunteers there twice a week. 
Arquette brought his passion to feed the hungry that fueled the spirit of the evening.

September is Hunger Action Month to help raise awareness and funds for the 35 million people
who are at risk of hunger in America.  Hunger Action Month, formed to help those in need,
bloomed from a day of service into a month-long campaign as the economy has taken a turn for
the worse and the demand for food assistance has increased.  “Many Americans are unaware
of the great demand for food assistance throughout the country.  The need for food assistance
nationwide has increased 30 percent throughout the last year and in many communities the
increase is much higher,” said Vicki Escarra, president and CEO of Feeding America.  “We
are excited to team up with so many talented artists to shed light on Hunger Action Month and
the issue of hunger in America.”

Crow wrote a song benefiting Feeding America, called “All We Need,” which she unveiled at
the show.  It is a duet with Jason Mraz and will be available on ITunes next week.  Ben
Harper’s performance was mesmerizing and yet powerful.  After a rupturing number with a
slide guitar, he brought Tom Morello on stage and together the influential artists moved the
hearts in the room to action.  It was a talent filled night brought about by those who do.
