The stars came out big for An Unforgettable Evening hosted by EIF’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund to raise money and awareness for early detection and research.

Christina Applegate who herself is a breast cancer survivor was honoured with the Nat King Cole award and told ET:

“That’s the reason that this happened to me, so that I can be outspoken and forthright about everything…I feel like I have a responsibility to all the women out there, to not let them live in fear…Fear perpetuates disease”

Country couple Faith Hill and Tim McGraw also attended and Tim, who lost both parents to cancer, talked about what the evening meant to him:

“I grew up with my mom and two sisters and now I have a house full of women, my wife and my three daughters, so anything that advances the research for cancer and advances the chances of finding cures, I’m all for”

Freida Pinto and Dev Patel pose as they attend the 18th Annual BAFTA/LA Britannia Awards held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles last night .  Danny Boyle, the director of the movie they met on, Slumdog Millionaire, had no idea there were sparks between the two:

“I was a bit surprised at first, but then those things tend to pass me by!… I’m delighted for them, they seem to be real soulmates and I’m sure more than that. I’m very happy for them – it seems lovely.”

Danny received the John Schlesinger Britannia Award for Artistic Excellence last night. Other winners included  Colin Firth who won the Humanitarian Award, Emily Blunt the British Artist of the Year, Kirk Douglas the Britannia Award for Worldwide Contribution to Filmed Entertainment and Robert De Niro picked up the Stanley Kubrick Britannia Award for Excellence in Film.
