With rumors swirling that a Brangelina breakup is imminent, Jennifer Anison is taking a cue from Angelina Jolie and stepping up her involvement in charity.

The actress is hosting a screening of the Oscar-nominated The Last Station to benefit relief efforts in Haiti. The evening will include a cocktail reception and a meet-and-greet with the film’s director.

Aniston answered phones at George Clooney’s Hope for Haiti telethon and also donated $500,000 to charitable organizations working in Haiti. Now if she just started adopting some babies from underprivileged countries, her Angelina makeover would be complete!

Scarlett Johansson And A Goat

Dec 10, 2009 Author: Shan | Filed under: Humanitarian, Scarlet Johansson

She just wants everyone to gift a goat to needy kids in India.

Scarlett Johansson as well as Minnie Driver, Ricky Gervais and British comedian Johnny Vegas are involved in the Oxfam Unwrapped campaign, which encourages people to buy animals, school books and other necessities for people in the developing world as presents for their loved ones.

Scarlett went to Uttar Pradesh in India to see the campaign in action and said:

“The girls were all from the lowest Dalit caste, but their education had filled them with ambition, self worth and hope for the future. Every child deserves that kind of start in life – and Oxfam Unwrapped gifts like desks and chairs, school equipment and even the school buildings themselves can provide this. And that’s why I am asking for us all to give these kinds of gifts this Christmas.”

There was a mini Friends reunion for Courtney Cox and Lisa Kudrow as they participated in ‘Rock A Little, Feed A Lot’ benefit concert in aid of the L.A. Regional Food Bank & Feed America held at the Nokia Theatre last night.

Jennifer Aniston was the only girl star from Friends missing, but making up for her absence were a ton of other stars, including Isla Fisher, Christina Applegate and more.

Looks like Monica and Phoebe are trying to say, “I’ll be there for you…!!!”

Here’s some news for supermodel fans.

Gisele Bundchen has been named the new Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), and X17 snapped the pregnant supermodel leaving a ceremony in NYC’s Washington Square Park this afternoon.

Gisele is glad to do her bit for the environment. “The environment has always been my passion,” she said. “I grew up in a small town and I had the opportunity to live surrounded by nature. I couldn’t have asked for a better childhood. We must act now, so future generations have the same opportunity. Mother Earth is our fundamental life-support system, and by becoming aware and responsible now, we can assist in preserving the planet.”

Gisele also showed off her growing baby bump, and even though she’s due in December, it’s difficult to notice it! We’re all big fans.

David Arquette is kicking off The Cheesecake Factory and Feeding America’s Drive Out Hunger Tour with a visit to the set of “Scrubs” and the set of “Cougar Town” to visit his wife, Courteney Cox.

“I wanted to come see my wife on the ‘Cougar Town’ set,” David tells ET. “One of the creators of her show is also the creator of ‘Scrubs,’ Bill Lawrence, so he brought them all together and it’s just been great — everybody came out, brought some cans to Feed America.”

“This whole campaign started because The Cheesecake Factory came up with the great idea to drive out hunger,” explains David, who volunteers at the Feeding America charity. “They are going to 30 cities in 30 days to really put an emphasis on Hunger Action Awareness month in September.”
