“She is not dancing for the festival as much as dancing for the lions. An African proverb says, if the lions can’t tell their stories, the hunters will. And we have lots of lions,” Salvation Army Major Eric Lo said.

“Lisa needs your vote. Just click on: www.oxnardsalsafestival.com/Lisa_Guerrero.aspx .”

Here are some lions:

Donald lived inside a trash can in the Kmart parking lot. Started as a run-away kid from home 35 years ago, he had been homeless and in-and-out of jail. He came to The Salvation Army Oxnard free medical /dental clinic 6 years ago. Now he owns a maintenance company, conducts weekly Bible Study and recovery groups.

Maria had left her two little boys in Mexico to look for a better life but ended up in prostitution in LA. Three years ago, she came to The Salvation Army Oxnard for food and clothing. Her husband came for help also a year later. Now she owns a house cleaning business, and her husband owns a mobile car wash. Human trafficking and poverty are not hunting them anymore.

Lo says “Let’s get to work to help the lions tell their stories before the hunters tell theirs. Just one simple vote for Lisa on http://www.oxnardsalsafestival.com/Lisa_Guerrero.aspx , and click the cartoon button will do it.”

David Bowie’s 20×200-exclusive edition is an archival print from a lithograph of his wife (and Design on a Dime co-chair), fashion icon Iman. Bowie is allowing the original to be reproduced only once to benefit Housing Works Design on a Dime, and will be featured for auction at the event (New York, May 5 – 7). The celebrity benefit print will be on display in the “dream boudoir” room vignette designed by Iman and style expert Robert Verdi for IMAN Home.

Bowie’s striking art print will then be sold on 20×200 for $800. All proceeds from the sale of the benefit editions at Design on a Dime and on 20×200 will fund Housing Works’ “Get A Room,” a program that provides housing for homeless and low-income New Yorkers living with and affected by HIV/AIDS.

Co-hosted by Jenni Pulos, from Bravo’s “Flipping Out,” and Bailee Madison, actress from “Just Go With It” and Starlight StarPower Spokesperson, the night was attended by best-selling author and Starlight Global Ambassador Tony DiTerlizzi, Starlight Spokesperson Corbin Bleu, internationally-published photojournalist Melissa Roth, actresses Chrishell Stause and Brooke Mueller-Sheen and also featured live entertainment from former Starlight child and cancer survivor Zacharia (www.zachariamusic.com).

Co-chaired by Starlight board member and Variety publisher Brian Gott, “A Stellar Night” showcased inspirational stories from Starlight families and paid tribute to humanitarians, who are helping seriously ill children and their families cope with their pain, fear and isolation.

“I am so honored that Starlight is presenting my sister, my mother and me with its ‘Heart of Gold Award’ tonight,” said Nicky Hilton. “The award recognizes those who have big hearts and have supported Starlight in improving the quality of life for young people. Recently, my family invited several Starlight families to our home to help them forget their worries for a little while. We had such a fun time together – playing games, having lunch – and it was nice to see the children that afternoon smile and play and laugh. The event we hosted at our home was an experience I’ll never forget.”

“I am honored to receive Starlight’s ‘Jacki Carlish Humanitarian Award,’” said Do Won Chang. “[Forever 21] worked with Starlight last holiday season to sell bracelets with the message ‘give to love, love to give.’ Like it says in the bible in 1 John 3:18: ‘Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue, but with actions and in truth.’ In a world with so much tragedy, especially now in Japan, I pray that each of us will do our part to help those that are in need. Thank you Starlight for this great honor and thank you to God for his many blessings.”

Famous for its Very Important Kids (VIK) Lounge, which was this year sponsored by Nintendo of America, Inc., “A Stellar Night” invited adults to bring children to teach them about the importance of philanthropy and to share the impact that Starlight’s programs have on families with seriously ill children…brightening their world, a little each day. Many of Starlight’s young and dedicated StarPower Ambassador celebrity supporters (www.starlight.org/starpowerambassadors) volunteered in the Kids Lounge, demonstrating the power of giving back and making the night even more memorable for Starlight’s young guests. Young celebrities in attendance included: actors Ashley Argota, Romi Dames, Sammi Hanratty, Rob Pinkston, Nadji Jeter, Devon Gearhart, Jillian Clare, Field Cate, Brennan Bailey, Preston Bailey, Allen Alvarado, Tyler Foden, Zane Huett, Dominic Scott Kay, Peyton List, Spencer List, Joey Luthman, Jackson Odell and Daniel Samonas, and recording artists Ashlee Keating, Austin Anderson, Chloe Jordache and Tyler Shamy and Starlight supporter Nolan Gould.

In addition to California Pizza Kitchen and Nintendo of America Inc., sponsors of “A Stellar Night” included: Michaels Stores, Inc., Bickerstaff Family Foundation, Vivendi, Colgate-Palmolive Company, Forever 21, The Walt Disney Company, Wyndham Worldwide, Insomniac Games, Kaye Scholer LLP, Latham & Watkins LLP, Lisa & Kevin Mayer and Morrison & Foerster LLP.

The singer and actress, born and raised in Berkshire, England, had exceptional talents from an early age. Victoria started dancing lessons started at 3, piano at ten, acting at twelve while her true love, singing, made its professional debut at the tender age of eleven. She received a scholarship to the prestigious Arts Educational Schools in London and found herself at the top of the class by years end.

Victoria excelled at music theatre with credits that included performances for the Queen, the World Premiere of “Brighton Rock” at the prestigious Almeida Theatre and the musical version of the film “Alfie” to name but a few.

Today Victoria is in Los Angeles working with world class producers to create her own original music. She is also performing at places including the ‘Crustacean’ in Beverly Hills with Izzy Chait and a Celebrity Gala Event with such artists as Chaka Khan and Chick Corea and working as successful actress in Zombie Diaries.

In August 2010 Victoria Summer wrapped a starring role in the upcoming horror film, “Dracula Reborn.” Victoria plays “Lina Harker,” the object of Dracula’s affections in the modern tale of Dracula set in present time Los Angeles. The film, produced and directed by Ray Haboush (Executive Producer of “The Last House on the Left”), is being distributed by Halcyon International Pictures in early 2011.

“Too many people today are still falling into the trap of drugs and alcohol. As an artist myself, I’ve seen it happen too often to not take action and actually do something about it,” says Summer. “There is an artist in all of us and artists need help and encouragement; talent should be nurtured and given the ability to shine.”

Ms. Summer is an Ambassador for The Foundation of a Drug Free World, and fully supports the Take McAlester Back Campaign and its purpose to get drugs out and arts in.

“I am very excited to make my first trip to Oklahoma and I look forward to meeting and chatting with you all; sharing stories and music,” adds Ms. Summer. “There isn’t a better way to make a comeback from the dark depths of drugs and alcohol abuse than through the Arts. The Take Back McAlester campaign is paving the way for you and your community to join together and get creative!”

Take McAlester Back will be holding the concert at the First Christian Church in McAlester. Summer will be the featured performer singing at the event held on the 20th of November 2010 starting at 7:00 p.m. along with McAlester’s favorite violinist Michael Ginsburg and Mayor Kevin Priddle on guitar.

Take McAlester Back was founded by the McAlester Chamber, Pride In McAlester, McAlester Main Street and Narconon Arrowhead and now has more than 30 local sponsors in the area.

Best known for capturing the hearts of millions with her role as May Belle in Disney’s “Bridge to Terabithia,” in December, she will be seen in the upcoming film, “Brothers” (with Natalie Portman, Jake Gyllenhaal and Tobey Maguire), and in 2010, “An Invisible Sign of My Own” (with Jessica Alba), “Betty Anne Waters” (with Hilary Swank), “Letters To God,” the true and inspiring story of a young boy’s struggle with cancer, and finally, Guillermo del Toro’s “Don’t Be Afraid Of The Dark” (with Katie Holmes and Guy Pearce) in which she has the starring role.

Before becoming StarPower’s spokesperson, Bailee had already been a StarPower Ambassador for several years, inspiring youngsters to give back to Starlight and to other youth organizations. Other StarPower Ambassadors include Ashley Tisdale, Devon Werkheiser, the Massey brothers, and many more. See www.starlight.org/starpowerambassadors for a complete list. Jamie Lee Curtis is also very involved in the project and is fondly referred to as the group’s “Fairy Godmother.”

“It was two years ago that I first attended a Starlight event,” says Bailee. While listening to Corbin Bleu (Starlight’s national spokesperson) speak that night, I remember turning to my mommy and telling her that I wanted to make a difference. She turned back to me and said, ‘You will’ and our prayers were answered this summer when I filmed ‘Letters to God.’ I saw the power that hope, love and compassion have in helping each child find light and laughter during some of their darkest times, which is exactly what Starlight brings to the lives of families every day. I am so very excited for the opportunity to show that no matter how young we are, we can make a difference.”

“In addition to Bailee’s inherent charm, sharp intelligence, and vibrant personality that make her a natural pick for the role of our StarPower spokesperson, she also really understands the struggles that families with seriously ill children face and what it takes to make a real difference in their lives,” said Paula Van Ness, CEO of Starlight. “She, along with our other StarPower Ambassadors, will continue to encourage youngsters around the country to get involved with Starlight and to bring much-needed attention to our important mission.”

StarPower Ambassadors use their “star power” to brighten the lives of young patients with hospital visits and entertainment performances, by hosting chats in Starlight’s chat room for sick teens, volunteering at Starlight events and Great Escapes family outings, spreading awareness about Starlight’s programs and campaigns, and participating in fundraising efforts.

In one of Bailee’s first acts as spokesperson for StarPower, she and Corbin Bleu are hosting a Starlight Hospital Happening event for teen patients at Shriners Hospitals for Children Los Angeles. Sponsored by Electronic Arts in conjunction with Variety’s annual Power Of Youth initiative, to which Starlight is a charity beneficiary, the event will include game play for the hospital’s teens on The Sims 3 and The Sims 3 World Adventures. Bailee and Corbin will spend some time with the hospitalized teens to brighten their day and provide a little respite from their hospital stay.

The BBHOP, sponsored by a grant from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, will offer free diabetes and high blood pressure screenings to African American men who normally visit their local barbers just anticipating the usual haircut. In addition, participants will be provided education about healthy lifestyle alternatives along with PAD screenings and PEP Talk: the Prostate Education Project will address the issue of prostate cancer by distributing culturally appropriate educational materials as well.

In an effort to drive the need for health care and education celebrity support has been enlisted. Sherri Shepherd, co-host of “The View,” recorded a public service announcement on KJLH Radio, a station owned by Stevie Wonder. Celebrity participants The Whispers, comedians Kim Coles and Tommy Davidson, actor T.C. Carson, and performers Yo Yo and Montell Jordan are just a sampling of the confirmed talent to visit some of the local shops on Saturday. Former Los Angeles Laker, Norm Nixon, named national spokesperson for the BBHOP, will be on hand.

Ultimately, the BBHO’s goal is to screen more than 500,000 African American men by 2012. This unique and innovative grassroots program works with black-owned barbershops, which represent a cultural institution of familiarity and trust in many communities as an effective avenue to disseminate health education information. The program has already tested close to 10,000 African American men in 23 cities including New Orleans, Chicago, Atlanta and Harlem.

Compared to the general public, African American males have a higher risk of diabetes and other cardiovascular conditions, such as high blood pressure and high cholesterol. The American Diabetes Association estimates that 3.7 million African Americans, ages 20 years or older, have diabetes, while statistics show that 40 percent of African American men die prematurely from cardiovascular disease as compared to 21 percent of white men.

The BBHOP, in partnership with Charles Drew University, U.C.L.A., Vasamed and Entrahealthsystems, will offer free screenings throughout Los Angeles including the following locations:

- The New Millennium BS, 4310 Crenshaw Blvd., Los Angeles
- In The Cut, 220 East Regent St., Inglewood
- Next Cuts Beauty & Barber, 5712 West Pico, L.A.
- Legends Barbershop, 5366 Wilshire Blvd., L.A.
- Inglewood’s Finest, 122 S. Market St., Inglewood.

The BBHOP, in partnerships with Kaiser Permanente African American Professional Organization and the Healthy Heritage Movement, Inc., will offer screenings throughout the Inland Empire at:

- Da Mood Barbership, 205 E. Mission Blvd., Pomona
- Good Time Barbershop, 924 E. Holt Ave, Pomona
- N u Flava, Pomona
- Hat’s Off, 21065 Bear Valley Road, Apple Valley
- Second To None, 12384 Palmdale Road, #103, Victorville
- Signature Barbershop, 12555 Mariposa Road, Ste. F, Victorville
- T’s Barbershop, 15028 7th St. Ste. 2, Victorville
- Who’s Next, 21280 Brar Valley Rd., #115, Hesperia.

Founded by Dr. Bill J. Releford, D.P.M. the BBHOP seeks to empower African American men to better understand cardiovascular diseases through education, testing and prevention. The Black Barbershop Health Outreach Program has effectively addressed the health concerns of Black men in nearly 200 black owned barbershops since December 2007.

For additional information and to view a list of all the participating barbershop locations, go to www.BlackBarbershop.org .

About Dr. Bill Releford:

Dr. Bill Releford began private practice in 1990 and started the Diabetic Foot Institute, a facility dedicated exclusively to the reduction of diabetes-related amputations in high-risk populations. Most patients were oblivious to the standard of care that should be expected during the occurrence of a diabetic foot complication or the unfortunate recommendation for lower-extremity amputation.

About the Diabetic Amputation Prevention (DAP) Foundation:

The DAP Foundation’s mission is to help decrease the diabetes-related amputation rate among high risk populations around the world and address the escalating number of individuals with undetected cardiovascular disease. The DAP Foundation’s African American Men’s Outreach Program seeks to partner with community groups and organizations to reduce the incidence of health conditions that adversely affect Black males by utilizing education, prevention and early detection through screening activities. DAP’s efforts have already been successfully duplicated in other metropolitan areas, such as Oakland, Chicago, Harlem, St. Louis, and Atlanta.

Now Sheen has taken his challenge a step further by appearing in a YouTube video that asks Obama to “be on the right side of history” by reopening an investigation into 9/11, while highlighting that the majority of the 9/11 Commission members have publicly dismissed the official government version of the attacks as a deception, with former Senator and Commission member Max Cleland labeling the government response to the Commission’s questions as “disgusting” and “a scam.”

Sheen highlights several issues in the video, including the unexplained collapse of WTC 7, a 47-story building that was not hit by a plane yet collapsed in free fall fashion into its own footprint within 7 seconds later in the afternoon on September 11. He also cites multiple reports from firefighters, police, first responders and others who were at ground zero and who all described explosions before the collapse of the twin towers and Building 7.

He also discusses how former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds broke her gag order to go public with the revelation that Bin Laden and Al-Qaeda were working with the U.S. government right up until the day of 9/11.

Sheen also demands to know why NORAD’s standard operating procedure was not followed on 9/11, allowing the hijacked jetliners to find their targets, asking, “Where were the planes?”

Sheen expresses his hope that President Obama has read his letter, adding, “We have questions Mr. President, lots of questions….people of the United States and the world demand the truth, sir,” adding that Obama has the power and the responsibility to initiate “a truly independent Congressional investigation into the events of 9/11 as well as its aftermath.”

“We want our country back, Mr. President; therefore I’m not just calling on you, I’m calling on your team, I’m calling on each and every American citizen to wake up, stand up, and demand the truth,” states Sheen in the video.

Sheen will appear live on The Alex Jones Show on Friday September 11th to discuss the content of his “20 Minutes With The President” piece and how he plans to move forward with this exciting new initiative. You can listen free (www.infowars.com/listen.html) or subscribe to www.prisonplanet.tv to watch live streaming video.

“I have spent many an afternoon with Starlight families and have seen what the children and parents are going through,” said Corbin. “I am blessed with good health, and so I do whatever I can to help these kids who aren’t so lucky, to help them forget their worries for the time being and just have some fun. All of them should have access to Starlight’s programs. Will you join me to help make that a reality?”

Having been involved with Starlight for several years and now serving as Starlight’s national spokesperson, Corbin has devoted himself to brightening the lives of the seriously ill children any way he can. He has spent countless hours with Starlight children both in and out of the hospital, has volunteered numerous hours of his time to support Starlight’s programs, and has represented Starlight at various events, including serving as the host of last year’s annual “A Stellar Night Gala.”
