Shoe4Africa has been collecting used running shoes and organising races since 1995, and the shoes which are donated are given away to participants as prizes as well being raffled off. The charity is endorsed by celebrities such as Paula Radcliffe and Natalie Portman who have both donated shoes to the Kibera project. Shoe4Africa is a non profit organisation which promotes social empowerment, health initiatives and AIDS awareness. As well as collecting and giving away used running shoes, the charity organises sporting events and training, and offers HIV testing and information to anybody who takes part in the races and games. By partnering with some of Africa’s most beloved running stars, Shoe4Africa has been able to reach communities that have historically resisted traditional HIV/AIDS initiatives. You can send your own shoes to the project, click here… Which gives you the perfect excuse to feel good about yourself, and of course, buy some more!

Johnny Depp playing Edward Nigma aka The Riddler, Angelina Jolie playing Dr Harleen Quinzel aka Harley Quinn…. at least that is what the fans are hoping for according to a recent survey undertaken by blockbuster.com. “Both Johnny Depp and Angelina Jolie are actors who can bring a Batman villain to life in the complex, realistic style that have made Nolan’s films so popular,” said Keith Leopard, director of film product for Blockbuster Inc. “It would be exciting to see what they could do with The Riddler’s compulsive clue-giving and Harley Quinn’s transformation from brilliant therapist to psychotic criminal.” Other actors and characters coming up included the likes of Natalie Portman, Edward Norton and Keira Knightley along with Batman villains Cat Woman, The Penguin and tough guy Bane.

Natalie Portman on Sean Penn in ‘Milk’

Natalie Portman spoke to Variety about Sean Penn’s role as Harvey Milk in Gus Van Sant’s latest flick, “Milk,” and the 27-year-old actress had nothing but praise for the Oscar-winning actor. Natalie also mentions California’s gay marriage ban, and makes it clear that she’s against the passing of Proposition 8. We already knew she was beautiful, talented and Harvard educated, but after reading Natalie’s article, we want to see more of her writing! Here’s what she had to say: “They only need to know one of us,” Harvey Milk explains to his campaign team in the film “Milk.” Sean Penn’s performance as Harvey does exactly that: You learn one man’s story, and his pains and triumphs become your own. It showed me how a great performance can also be a humanitarian act. When we know one character, one story, we recognize him as being of our own flesh and blood. When we understand his feelings, we put ourselves in his position. Not only is Sean’s performance honestly and lovingly humane, but it is also virtuosic — every note is so subtly tuned that the work behind it is never visible. He infuses Harvey’s courage with cowardice and his sexual prowess with hesitation. Sean’s Harvey is a cocky and charismatic orator, but always weighted by the foreboding dread of knowing his own tragedy. When the antigay Prop. 6 is unexpectedly voted down, surprise, elation and horror at the very existence of the referendum all rage in the blood beneath his skin. Sean Penn so inhabits Harvey Milk that I left the theater feeling the need to march against our frighteningly similar Prop. 8 to honor this man I now know.” Thanks to x17online.com for this news!
