Charity begins in Hollywood

Angelina Jolie, Victoria Beckham and Anne Hathaway have joined hands to design jewellery for a celebrity auction. The auction features celebrity memorabilia that will benefit the Prince’s Trust and other charities.

Other celebrities like Kate Winslet, Jennifer Lopez, Penelope Cruz and Ricky Gervais have also designed jewellery or added autographs to the collection, which will be displayed at auction house Bonhams in New Bond Street in London. After the display, the items will return to New York before being auctioned at Bonhams and Butterfields in LA on May 28.

Half of the proceeds of the auction, which is being organised by LA based charity auction campaign Stars For A Cause, will go to charities chosen by the participating celebrities, reports The Telegraph.

The other half will go to the Prince’s Trust, which helps young people develop confidence, motivation and skills to find work.

Other jewellery items include designs from Charlize Theron, Goldie Hawn and Miley Cyrus, while Sir Ben Kingsley has designed a pair of cuff-links.

Others run for charity
Meanwhile, Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel and Jennifer Connelly ran for a charity race in New York on May 2 to help raise funds for cancer research, treatment and counselling.
The stars were amongst 40,000 competitors who took to the streets to do their bit for the cause. Other celebrities like TV host Jimmy Fallon and singer Ciara performed before the race began.
