			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj255/kgseymour/pic_christina.jpg" width="300" align="right" height="504" /><strong>Christina Applegate </strong>was diagnosed with breast cancer earlier this year after learning that she had an increased risk of developing the disease, and spent quite a bit of time in the hospital afterward recovering from a mastectomy. Fortunately, she caught it early enough and she is now cancer-free, but <a href="http://www.ecorazzi.com/2008/10/13/christina-applegate-raises-money-for-breast-cancer-with-ribbon-roses/" target="_blank">she&#8217;s concerned that other women won&#8217;t have the same good fortune</a> because of the high cost associated with screenings and genetic testing.</p>
<p>While recovering in the hospital, <strong>Christina</strong> made roses from ribbons &#8212; a craft she learned when she was just six years old.  She made hundreds of them on her own, and when anyone came to visit her, she taught them how to do it, too, saying, &#8220;Anytime you would come into my room there would be, like, six people in there making these roses.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now, she&#8217;s using these hundreds of roses for a good cause &#8212; soon, she&#8217;ll be auctioning them off to raise money for <a href="http://www.rightactionforwomen.org/" target="_blank">Right Action for Women</a>, but in the meantime, she&#8217;s encouraging her fans to <a href="https://secure2.merchantcart.net/eifpublic/main.cfm/christina/03E0704B5690A2DEE1861DC3AD3316C9/?do=makedonation" target="_blank">make a donation</a> to the charity.</p>

The brunette beauty and her husband live on a biodynamic farm, and last year she said she intended to gain organic status and &#8220;farm properly and we&#8217;re going to have a herd of cows and proper sheep and proper chickens, and we&#8217;re going to [...]]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj255/kgseymour/elizabeth-hurley-picture-1.jpg" width="313" align="right" height="407" />You might already know that <strong>Elizabeth Hurley</strong> has become a farmer. The brunette beauty and her husband live on a biodynamic farm, and last year she said she intended to gain organic status and &#8220;farm properly and we&#8217;re going to have a herd of cows and proper sheep and proper chickens, and we&#8217;re going to have Gloucestershire Old Spot Pigs.&#8221;</p>
<p>Now that she has her organic status, she&#8217;s not only focused on that, but <a href="http://www.ecorazzi.com/2008/10/06/elizabeth-hurley-says-her-organic-food-may-reduce-breast-cancer-risk/" target="_blank">also on helping women reduce their risk of breast cancer</a>. <strong>Liz</strong> has been a longtime supporter of breast cancer awareness and research, and now she&#8217;s speaking out.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think we know now that many issues with women&#8217;s health can be linked back to their diet. We&#8217;ve been saying for a long time that many breast cancer specialists recommend sticking to as low-fat a diet as possible, which all has to do with how estrogen is stored in the body,&#8221; <strong>Elizabeth</strong> told <em>People</em> magazine, adding, &#8220;Now we genuinely believe that if any of even the zero fat milk is crammed full of antibiotics and hormones it can be very detrimental to your health.&#8221;</p>
<p>As of right now, it&#8217;s not clear whether the actress&#8217; line of organic frozen dinners will be available in the States, but I wouldn&#8217;t be surprise, seeing as how she admits she&#8217;s &#8220;obsessed that women find alternatives to eat which are low in fat.&#8221; I know I would give it a try &#8212; would you?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj255/kgseymour/Natalie_imbruglia.jpg" alt="Bono" align="right" height="319" width="240" /><strong>Natalie Imbruglia </strong>and a number of other stars have come out to support <a href="http://www.targetbreastcancer.org.uk/" target="_blank">Fashion Targets Breast Cancer</a>, a new campaign from the UK&#8217;s leading breast cancer charity, <a href="http://www.breakthrough.org.uk/index.html" target="_blank">Breakthrough Breast Cancer</a>. The campaign shows <strong>Natalie</strong>, along with <strong>Twiggy</strong>, <strong>Anna Friel</strong>, and <strong>Alan Carr</strong> wearing the Fashion Targets Breast Cancer tees, with a message saying, &#8220;Whatever your reason, wear one.&#8221;</p>
<p>Each of the celebs shared their reasons, with some being as straightforward as, &#8220;Mum,&#8221; while others, were a bit cheekier in their answers, like <strong>Natalie</strong>, who said she wore the shirt because, &#8220;I have a thing for pastel colours.&#8221;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.looktothestars.org/news/1125-stars-target-breast-cancer" target="_blank">The singer got serious</a>, though, saying, &#8220;As a woman, I feel it is important to support this wonderful campaign. I was shocked when I saw the latest figures &#8212; 1 in 9 women are diagnosed with breast cancer at some point in their lifetime&#8230; The Fashion Targets Breast Cancer campaign makes so much sense. All you have to do, like me, is buy a t-shirt and wear it with pride.&#8221;</p>
<p>Breakthrough Breast Cancer has already raise £8.5 million to support breast cancer research as well as provide education and assistance, and you can help that number grow. Whatever your reason, you can buy one <a href="http://www.targetbreastcancer.org.uk/" target="_blank">here</a> and be proud that your newest purchase is making a difference.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i274.photobucket.com/albums/jj255/kgseymour/sheryl-crow-picture-1.jpg" align="right" height="397" width="306" />You are likely well aware that singer/songwriter <strong>Sheryl Crow</strong> had a bout with breast cancer. She was diagnosed in 2006 and has since made a full recovery. What you might not be aware of is that she had none of the risk factors normally associated with breast cancer, and absolutely no family history of the disease. This has made her all the more passionate about the importance of breast cancer research.</p>
<p><a href="http://socialitelife.celebuzz.com/2008/05/23/sheryl_crow_goes_to_congress.php" target="_blank">She recently testified to Congress</a> on behalf of the National Breast Cancer Coalition, stating, &#8220;I don&#8217;t live in a political world, and while this might seem like a political discussion, until you are the one in seven women diagnosed with breast cancer, you will never know how NOT political this is. I want to know what causes this disease &#8212; for me, and for the 2.3 million other who share this diagnosis. We need more resources to figure out what the environment has to do with [it].&#8221;<br />
“I want to know what causes this disease – for me, and for the 2.3 million others who share this diagnosis,” said Crow as she spoke on behalf of the National Breast Cancer Coalition. “We need more resources to figure out what the environment has to do with [it].”</p>
<p>The bill<strong> Sheryl</strong> is fighting for <a href="http://www.ecorazzi.com/2008/05/23/sheryl-crow-meets-with-congress-for-breast-cancer-research/" target="_blank">would authorize spending $200 million over the next five years</a> to research possible environmental factors behind breast cancer as well as making insurance companies pay for a minimum two-day hospital stay following a mastectomy.</p>

<p><strong>Reese</strong> was on hand for Avon once again this past weekend, <a href="http://www.ecorazzi.com/2008/05/05/reese-witherspoon-rocks-the-avon-walk-for-breast-cancer/" target="_blank">this time at the sixth annual Avon Walk for Breast Cancer Washington, D.C., where she acted as a special guest</a>. She cheered on walkers and spoke at the closing ceremony. However, this wasn&#8217;t the first time Reese was involved with a breast cancer walk.</p>
<p>In her speech at the closing ceremony, she said,  &#8220;As the Honorary Chairman of the Avon Foundation, one of my first experiences last year was to meet Avon Walk walkers at at training walk in Los Angeles &#8230; [I] hope my presence can in some measure express my deep appreciation for all the women and men who participate in the Avon Walks, and for all of the people who dedicate their lives to breast cancer research and care.&#8221;</p>
<p>Is there anything <em>not</em> to love about this girl?</p>

The event, which will auction off garments donated by celebrities around the world, plays off <strong>Katherine Heigl</strong>&#8217;s new romantic comedy <em>27 Dresses</em>.</p>
<p>The auction will benefit the <a href="http://www.breastcancercare.org.uk/content.php?page_id=512" target="_blank">Lavender Trust</a>, a UK-based charity &#8220;funding information and support for younger women with breast cancer.&#8221; It is the only fund in the UK dedicated to serving this particular age group and it&#8217;s specific needs.</p>
<p><strong>Kylie Minogue</strong> and her sister Dannii have donated gowns &#8212; <strong>Kylie </strong>donating a white John Galliano dress from the Cannes Film Festival last year while Dannii gave a silver, full length halter-style gown. You might recall that only a couple of years ago <a href="http://www.thecancerblog.com/2006/04/14/kylie-minogue-breast-cancer-survivor-glows-in-health/" target="_blank"><strong>Kylie</strong> herself battled breast cancer</a>, so I&#8217;m sure she jumped on the opportunity to help others.</p>
<p>Also making donations are <strong>Maggie Gyllenhaal</strong>, <strong>Alesha Dixon</strong>, and the <strong>Sugababes</strong>.</p>
<p>The dresses will be modeled in a fashion show on March 4 at London&#8217;s Sketch nightclub.</p>
