Jessica Biel & Justin Timberlake Help Hurricane Victims


Fresh back from their African honeymoon, Hollywood heavyweights Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel have shown their humanitarian side, by helping out the victims of Hurricane Sandy.

The newlyweds were seen in Far Rockaway, New York, handing out relief backpacks filled with food to those that have been affected by the super storm.

Along with their friend, Timbaland, the couple helped out for over three hours until the trucks were empty.

If you would like to donate to the American Red Cross and help the relief effort, you can text REDCROSS to 90999 to make a $10 donation, or you can visit redcross.org

$23 Million Raised During Hurricane Sandy Benefit


On Saturday, it was announced by NBC Universal and the American Red Cross that Friday night's benefit raised a massive $23 million for victims of Hurricane Sandy.

Some of the biggest names in music and television pulled together after the superstorm caused damages that amount to billions of dollars and took over 100 lives.

Peggy Dyer, the Chief Marketing Officer of the Red Cross said in a statement that they are incredibly grateful and humbled by the outpouring of support. "Our preliminary results of nearly $23 million raised are an extraordinary example of how the American people pull together in times of disaster," she said.

Music heavyweights like Sting, Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Christina Aguilera, Steven Tyler, Mary J. Blige and Billy Joel all lent their talents to the telethon while celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg, Tina Fey, Kevin Bacon and Jon Stewart all provided their support.

While Dyer also noted that the proceeds will go directly to those in need, she has also urged to public to continue to donate.

Walking Dead Season 4 Confirmed






"Interested fans looking to win a 3-day, 2-night trip to the season 4 set of The Walking Dead next year need not give up a pound of flesh – just simply roll up their sleeves. AMC, in conjunction with the American Red Cross, is forming a nationwide blood drive between now and 11:59/10:59c on Monday October 22th. The sweepstakes is open to those over 21, residing in the US and Canada (except Québec)."

While there is no “official” word just yet – This announcement of  a contest showed up on the network’s Website that gives a lucky fan the chance to appear on set for season 4.

Oops!  Well, it's not really that bad.  First of all, the contest is to benefit a Red Cross Blood donation drive and that is a good thing, right?  Plus, The Walking Dead’s season 2 finale delivering a record-setting 9 million viewers and the highly-anticipated season 3 introducing many long-awaited fan-favorite characters and storylines from the comic book.  It may have been a slip, but common sense says that we will see a season four. 

This is the network's official statement - 
 
The Walking Dead has not been renewed for a fourth season. There was no inadvertent pick-up of the series. Season three premieres October 14th. Promotional sweepstakes give-aways which involve prospective future season visits or opportunities are common practice in television. The sweepstakes rules clearly state AMC may award a substitute prize if the future season opportunity is not available.”

Hey, AMC, it's all good!  We want a season four!


The Walking Dead rises again Sunday, October 14th @ 9/8c on AMC and will be followed by the post-series chat-show Talking Dead @ 10/9c
