The stars came out big  for Day 3 (yesterday) of Clinton’s Global Initiative where Ben Stiller was Master of Ceremonies and Quincy Jones (among others) was honoured.  Lisa Ling, Usher and Demi Moore presented recipients with awards and Alicia Keys entertained.

Brad Pitt was also honoured by the U.S. Green Building Council because he had created the “largest and greenest single-family community in the world” with his Make It Right foundation.  Brad Pitt said:

“Make It Right has exceeded my expectations. Our criteria from the beginning were at odds, to say the least. We demanded that these homes be sustainable, that they have aesthetic qualities … that they be storm resilient and take safety in mind of the families who live there and that they would be affordable.

“If we had not been so blissfully naive to the potential, we would not be experiencing what we are seeing today and that is the unquantifiable joy of families returning home to the 9th Ward and returning home to something that was better than before. What the team has done here is not so exceptional. All we did was put the right people together and answer the problems as they came along and that is why we’re here today.”

Also on hand yesterday were Barbra Streisand, Jessica Alba, Bono, Ricky Martin, Mira Sorvino, and Julia Ormond.

The sexy she-wolf herself, Shakira is in London, England at the BBC studios to appear on Radio One’s Live Lounge promoting her album.

I used to really love Shakira until during our crazy, passionate monkey lovemaking ritual my husband called out her name.  That was pretty painful, but not as painful as it was when he stuck the Playboy Centrefold picture to my forehead during monkey love time like I was his human corkboard.

Don’t forget that on October 17, Shakira is the musical guest on the Saturday Night Live show that the man himself, Gerard Butler hosts.
