Arizona representative Gabrielle Giffords and Gwyneth Paltrow are second cousins according to Huffington Post. Gabrielle’s father, Spencer J. Giffords and Gwyneth’s late father Bruce Paltrow are first cousins.

Gwyneth released a statement on Sunday:

“Although I have never had the pleasure of meeting congresswoman Giffords, my thoughts and prayers are with her and her family as well as the other victims of this horrible act of senseless violence.”

On the weekend Arizona representative Gabrielle Giffords was shot point-blank range in the left side of her head at a supermarket where she held a rally.

The shooter of this horrible tragedy, 22 year old Jared Lee Loughner specifically targeted her and ended up killing 6 others and wounding 13 more. Included amongst the dead is 9-year old Christina Green who was born on September 11, 2011  She also happens to be a second cousin to actress Sophia Bush.

Gabrielle is in intensive care but is able to communicate through squeezing hands and holding up fingers and the prognosis is looking very good for her.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of all those killed and wounded in this terrible tragedy.

Minka Kelly gets top honours in the gown department at  the Art of Elysium’s 3rd Annual Gala.  This wonderful organization:

encourages working actors, artists and musicians to voluntarily dedicate their time and talent to children who are battling serious medical conditions

Actually Minka Kelly and Rumer Willis were the best dressed ladies of the night in my humble opinion.  Someone whose outfit I didn’t get was Ashley Olsen.

She looked a little bit Stepford Wife like in her Victorian gown and way too dark lipstick. Almost like she walked out of a horror film.  I don’t mean to be mean, but I’m always baffled that someone as wealthy as her with any help available to her at her beck and call can walk out of the house looking like that.

Some of your favourite celebrities attended:

• Adam Lambert
• Katy Perry
• Russell Brand
• Nicole Richie
• Dita Von Teese
• Anna Paquin
• Amy Smart
