First Look: Salma Hayek Helps Pampers Launch Vaccine Campaign

Nicole Feliciano — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 17:01:00 GMT

Though she’s been in the press lately talking about breastfeeding, Salma Hayek is also hard at work trying to stamp out Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus (MNT).

Last week in NYC, Salma teamed up with Pampers and UNICEF to announce the second wave of the "One Pack = One Vaccine" campaign. Here's how it works: for every purchase of specially marked diaper packages, Pampers will fund one tetanus vaccine.

Salma, the campaign spokeswoman, shared her first-hand look at MNT--a disease that claims the lives of 128,00 infants and 30,000 mothers each year--with video clips and press interviews about her UNICEF trip to Sierra Leone. Diva-like behavior is the last thing you’ll get from Salma. The stunning actress believes in rolling up her sleeves (ok, and maybe her shirt too) and hitting the front lines.

For 2009, the goal is to raise enough funding for 30 million additional tetanus vaccines. Look for the Pampers/UNICEF logo in stores now.

Two Things I Learned Today (Involving Celebs and Car Seat Covers)

Erin Behan — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 18:56:00 GMT

I now know who Marissa Jaret Winokur is and about Itzy Ritzy. Yes, I'm behind on both "Dancing with the Stars" semi-finalists and makers of infant car seat covers. For those behind the times like me, Winokur is expecing a child (Zev) with husband Judah Miller via a surrogate (I really need to catch up on those back issues of US!). If you want to shop like Winokur does for her baby, you'll need to buy two Ritzy Rider infant car seat covers from Itzy Ritzy ($119). You may also need a second job to afford two of those covers, which cost more than some infant car seats.

Jessica Alba's Tricycle Brings the Bling

Chris Ford — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 09:45:00 GMT

Earlier this month Jessica Alba's friends threw her a baby shower, and like I mentioned before, the guests went home with a goodie bag of their own. Well, according to E! Online, one of the presents was this Swarovski Crystal encrusted tricycle by Glitzy Bella. Want to know how much? You'll have to click through the jump...

I called a place where they sell them (the Hard Rock Store at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino here in Las Vegas) and they told me that they go for $2,000. I'm wondering though, does one actually bring it to the park? And what happens when the crystals start to fall off? What kind of glue do you use to put Swarovski crystals back into a tricycle?

Who says the rich have it easy?
