“Part of her role as a volunteer is to help out below the radar,” says a source of Kate’s work with the girl and boy scouts and their younger counterparts, the Beavers.

Not only will Kate, 30, work on activities with the group, she ‘s likely to pop into some meetings in her hometown of Anglesey, North Wales.

Can you imagine Kate coming to your girl scouts meeting?!? AMAZING!

Rock star Jon Bon Jovi and his wife Dorothea have opened a “pay-what-you-can” restaurant in a former auto body shop near the Red Bank train station in central New Jersey.

The restaurant, called The Soul Kitchen, offers gourmet-quality meals for the hungry allowing them to volunteer on community projects in place of visiting a soup kitchen. Paying customers can leave whatever they want in envelopes on the table, where the menus never list a price.

At the grand opening on Wednesday, Bon Jovi said, “With the economic downturn, one of the things I noticed was that disposable income was one of the first things that went. Dining out, the family going out to a restaurant, mom not having to cook, dad not having to clean up — a lot of memories were made around restaurant tables.

“When I learned that one in six people in this country goes to bed hungry, I thought this was the next phase of the Foundation’s work,” he said.

There’s only one thing he’s adamant about: “This is not a soup kitchen. You can come here with the dignity of linens and silver, and you’re served a healthy, nutritious meal. This is not burgers and fries.

“There’s no prices on our menu, so if you want to come and you want to make a difference, leave a $20 in the envelope on the table. If you can’t afford to eat, you can bus tables, you can wait tables, you can work in the kitchen as a dishwasher or sous chef,” he said. “If you say to me, ‘I’m not a people person,’ I say, ‘That’s not a problem. We’ll take you back to Lunch Break to volunteer with those people. If you don’t want to volunteer with that, we’ll take you to the FoodBank.”

What an amazing thing to do! Thank you, Bon Jovi!

Prince William and Duchess Catherine Middleton have had the wedding of the century. No one can deny that, but despite their high priced wedding they did make something good out of it for others. They set up a wedding fund raiser for those who wished to donate to one of their 26 charities instead of giving them a gift.

The royal couple was following William’s mother in giving back by Kate and his hand picked charities. The end result wound up with 1.6 million to give to the 26 charities. Some of the charities are for children and families of service members. No actual names were given, but sales from the official royal wedding music also went to the charities of their choice.

I love the fact that William and Kate are trying to follow his mothers footsteps. She was big on charity and loved helping others. I think that England should be so proud of those 2, since they are bringing class back to their country.

Stepping out to attend a charity gala in New York City yesterday, fashionista Sarah Jessica Parker look noticeably… taller.

The normally 5’2″ actress added at least three inches to her teensy frame (most likely more, with the killer heels she was wearing) with her Real Housewives of New Jersey bouffant hairdo.

I’m not in love with SJP’s new ‘do, but it looks like the mile high hair club (The M.H.H.C for those of you who like acronyms) may be catching on in Hollywood. Cheryl Cole, recently sported a giant pompadour for X Factor auditions in L.A. and good ol’ Snooki’s been rocking one since day one.

Is big hair here to stay?  Ugh, let’s hope not.

The once strangely passive housewife, Alex McCord, has undoubtedly let loose this season, and isn’t scared to tell her RHONYC castmates exactly what she thinks.  Personally, I miss the old Alex.  You know, the one with the super creepy husband and two badly behaved boys, living in a hovel in Brooklyn?

This new outspoken Alex, who’s coined the now-famous “Thug in a Cocktail Dress” phrase, grosses me out with the incessant attempts at branding herself.  Although, I suppose one good thing has come out of her new-found chutzpah…

At a fundraiser hosted by fellow RHONYC Countess LuAnn de Lesseps, McCord donated the “S&M” dress she wore during the episode 2 altercation with castmate Sonja Morgan.  Said McCord about the dress,

Love this dress by Walter, and it certainly got my castmates and the viewers talking. Who would have thought a simple black dress in New York City would create so much excitement? I’ve now worn it on TV twice as well as a red carpet, so it’s time to donate it and let someone else start her own conversation.

The fundraiser, which supported the charity boutique, Use Your Head, Shop for a Cause, aimed to raise money for ACE Programs for the Homeless, which provides job training, work experience and a support network for the homeless.

Alright Alex, we’ll give you this one.

Brittany Murphy’s husband, Simon Monjack, and mother, Sharon Murphy, launched a foundation with the name of the actress, which would be dedicated to arts education for children, but it was not registered as a charity with the IRS or the state of California, as required by law.

There was no record of it being listed as a non-profit organization and therefore they had to disclose they are not registered as a nonprofit when soliciting money. When questioned about the inexistence of such disclosure by TMZ, the Brittany Murphy Foundation site was shut down temporarily with the message “Down for maintenance”.

The site was re-opened over the weekend with a special message to explain they were eager to launch a foundation to honor Brittany’s memory but that all the donations will be refund “until we have our non-profit status approved before proceeding to insure that we can truly honor Brittany’s charitable desires.”

The Brittany Murphy Foundation: We began the Brittany Murphy Foundation to honor Brittany’s wishes and to give her family, friends, and fans a way of keeping her legacy alive. In an effort to get the foundation off the ground quickly, we established it as a private foundation with plans to apply for nonprofit status down the road. However, after some thought, we have decided instead to wait until we have our nonprofit status approved before proceeding to ensure that we can truly honor Brittany’s charitable desires. Any donations made up until this point will be returned until we have all our paperwork solidified.

Simon and Sharon might have been eager to see Brittany’s dream come true but when they conceal certain information like the fact they still didn’t have the 501(c)3 non-profit status, it certainly makes people question their true intentions.
