Glamorous stars like Naomi Campbell and Alicia Keys are well aware that the Big Apple offers a dizzying number of upmarket eateries.

They weren't the only ones who looked ready for a picnic, though, as Bono, Helena Christensen and REM frontman Michael Stipe were likewise carrying colourful containers when they rolled up to the glitzy bash. But the event, which bore more resemblance to a school lunch break than a showbiz party, was all in the name of good fun and a good cause.
A roll-call of big names designed their own unique lunchboxes which were then auctioned off to support the Food Bank Of New York. Proceeds from the fundraiser, which also featured designs by Bill Clinton, Charlize Theron, David Bowie, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, are going to support hunger relief organisations.
Across the pond in Britain, meanwhile, society beauty Jemima Goldsmith has proven she still cares deeply about the homeland of her ex-husband, Imran Khan. The 31-year-old, who is currently dating movie heart-throb Hugh Grant, has been doing her bit to help the people of Pakistan recover from the recent earthquake which devastated their country. In a group e-mail the mum-of-two called on her friends and loved-ones to contribute to the relief effort Imran has set up in the wake of the tragedy. |
