Actors and Actresses Who Give Back to Their Community

You may think all Hollywood stars do is sip champagne and bathe in tubs filled with $100 bills, but there are some out there who use their fame for the greater good. In the latest issue of The Hollywood Reporter, the magazine looks at the actors and actresses who are making a difference. Take for instance Kristin Davis, who recently took a trip as an Oxfam International ambassador to Africa, where she visited refugee camps in Kenya. The 46-year-old actress is also a board member of the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, which rescues orphaned elephants. Matthew McConaughey and wife Camile Alves are doing their part by supporting after-school fitness programs through their j.k. livin foundation, along with Hilary Duff, who is the sole supporter of Normandie Avenue Elementary's Blessing in a Backpack nonprofit, which assists low-income families with nonperishable food. Gabrielle Union, Hailee Steinfeld and Sarah Hyland are also among those who are giving back. Now we're sure their are plenty of movie stars who don't help out on the non-profit side. So, the lesson here is only bad mouth the actors who don't contribute. [via THR]

Ousted OWN CEO Christina Norman Lands at AOL Huffington Post Media Group

NEW YORK - After being ousted from her post as CEO of OWN: The Oprah Winfrey Network in May, Christina Norman has taken on the role of executive editor of Black Voices, a new site that the AOL Huffington Post Media Group is expected to launch later this week, and will also develop content and video for the whole group, a spokesman confirmed Monday. PaidContent had first reported Norman's role earlier on Monday, saying that she will kick off her new job with a Huffington Post essay about the circumstances of her departure from OWN. "It's a great lesson for women, that when one door closes, another one opens," the site quoted Arianna Huffington, president and editor-in-chief of the AOL Huffington Post Media Group, as saying. "There is enormous pressure on high-profile women to succeed, to constantly prove themselves. I met Christina in Los Angeles when she was the head of OWN. After she left, I asked her if she wanted to do something completely different." In a Web post on Monday that announced the launch of HuffPost Women and HuffPost PArents, Huffington said she would write more about Black Voices later in the week. Norman was president of MTV prior to leading OWN. Mixed ratings momentum in its early going following its January launch led to her departure. After she left, Discovery Communications COO Peter Liguori stepped in as interim CEO. Last month, it emerged that Oprah Winfrey herself will add the CEO and chief creative officer titles at OWN.
