We love to report on the generous celebs out there who put their time and effort into helping a good cause, especially when they invite all of their friends to join in. Last week, actor/comedian Kevin James and his wife Steffania hosted a day of fun at Santa Monica Pier's Pacific Park in conjunction with the Make A Wish Foundation. The Make A Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions in an effort to strengthen the human condition with hope, strength, and joy. This year's event took place on a sunny Sunday afternoon, and included over 1,200 Make A Wish kids and their family members from all over the Greater Los Angeles area.

Chicago – For film lovers unable to attend international film festivals, “Paris, je t’aime” provided an irresistible glimpse at world cinema. Eighteen celebrated filmmakers were each recruited to make a short subject set in the City of Love, thus allowing audiences to view the same town from different cultural perspectives. Some shorts worked better than others, but the resounding majority of them were utterly captivating.
It’s great to see this cinematic experiment continue with “New York, I Love You,” despite the fact that it isn’t anywhere near as artistically stimulating or dramatically satisfying as its predecessor. There’s only ten filmmakers this time, excluding Randy Balsmeyer, who handles the transitions. While “Paris” included Gus Van Sant, Alfonso Cuaron and the Coen brothers, “New York” offers directors like Shekhar Kapur (“Elizabeth”), Allen Hughes (“The Book of Eli”) and Brett Ratner (“Rush Hour”), whose very name inspires derisive laughter amongst film purists.
