Everyone from Bono to America's Next Top Models supporting Keep a Child Alive   Friday, October 26th, 2007

David Bowie, Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day, Jay-Z, Clive Davis, Mike Mills of R.E.M., Alicia Keys, Petra Nemcova, Gwen Stefani, Diddy.  Those are just a few of the names that turned out for last night's $1.5 million AIDS fundraiser benefit concert called The Black Ball.

The 4th annual Black Ball concert honored U2 frontman Bono for all of his charity work, and presented him with a Liberty Metal at a ceremony during the event.  Bono, Alicia Keys, and Gwen Stefani all performed.

He says, "Rock stars always want to do two things. They want to have fun and change the world. If they can do both at the same time, you're okay."

 

   

Petra Nemcova (Nemcová, actually) a fashion model from the Czech Republic and good girl extraordinaire, shows some skin at the Keep a Child Alive event.  Petra has her own charity, the Happy Hearts Fund (HHF), which helps children who have suffered hardship as a result of natural, economic, or health-related disasters.

The Keep a Child Alive charity is an organization that helps children and families obtain life-saving AIDS drugs and support for survival in Africa, where the AIDS pandemic is raging.  They provide crucial anti-retro viral medication AIDS sufferers.

Speaking of Keep a Child Alive, this week America's Next Top Model (ANTM) contestants' challenge was putting together a promo bit for the AIDS charity.  They posed in recycled goods.  I didn't see it but plan on watching the rerun:  cool shots, good cause!

Wouldn't it sound like farting if Ebony sat down in that skirt, though?
