Charming Alyssa Milano

Alyssa: Oil Bad, Twitter Good, Jersey Shore Just Fine

Aniek — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 08:00:34 +0000

Sure, some of Alyssa Milano’s internet activity may be a bit bizarro, but we can’t dog on the babe for giving a damn. In fact, how much she cares—from her early involvement in Haiti (she was one of the first celebs to donate big money to relief efforts) to supporting a handful of causes via her Twitter—is exactly why we totally heart her.

So we were so thrilled to catch up with the chatty lady at the VH1 Do Something Awards, where Alyssa was nominated for her do-gooder work. Looking fabo in a shiny silver top and black pants, A.M. sweated out the heat to gab with us about the oil spill, Twitter, and, of course, Jersey Shore:

As someone who’s been very outspoken for the Gulf Coast, how do you feel President Obama is handling the oil spill?
“I think, like most people, I’m suspicious that we don’t have all the information. And I think that’s been very disappointing. And whether that be BP’s call or Obama’s call, I’m not sure, I’m not a politician. But as a civilian, I feel like having information is empowerment and I feel like we don’t have it all. I mean, they’ve been talking about this cracked sea bed floor on the internet for probably the last two weeks and they’re just now admitting it, so it’s stuff like that that I get suspicious of.”

How would you defend Twitter against people who say it’s just another social media site ruining our teens?
“I think that my last statement actually defended Twitter greatly, which was that I knew about the cracked sea floor a couple of weeks ago and that’s through Twitter. I think that any time that media access is limited, somehow Twitter gets a way to get the information out there. I didn’t understand Twitter until the protests in Iran and then I started following some college students who were Tweeting real time about the protests. There was something so personal and relevant about getting their immediate information through my own computer screen rather than through the filter of mass media.”

You’ve mentioned in the past that you’re not a big fan of Jersey Shore. Any change of heart?
“I’ve really never seen an episode. That whole thing came about because someone asked me—actually at a UNICEF event which was so bizarre. But they asked me what I thought of Jersey Shore, and I’ve never seen it but my husband showed me a promo on YouTube and, you know, I don’t think I’ll be watching that show. The next day it was everywhere that I hated Jersey Shore. I’ve never seen the show, people seem to enjoy it though. So as long as it’s not hurting people.”

Events: Larry King Telethon Update

Natalie — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 00:13:43 +0000

Hello Everyone!

I’ve added images of Alyssa from the actual Larry King Telethon show. There are 3 HQs and 2 MQs.

Also, the images that were previously posted are hidden for the time being until it is determined whether or not they are in fact paparazzi. Yes, they are while Alyssa was leaving/arriving at the event but she isn’t posing for the camera and often looks like she is avoiding them. Sorry about that. I have a strong stance against paparazzi images and will continue that stance.

Alyssa joins Gulf Coast telethon

Aniek — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 17:44:13 +0000

CNN and Larry King will present a two-hour telethon next week to help victims of the Gulf Coast oil disaster.

The special, which will air at 9 p.m. ET Monday (June 21), will raise money for three charities: The United Way, the National Wildlife Federation and the Nature Conservancy. The United Way is providing emergency help for people whose livelihoods are affected by the spill and is developing long-term plans to help the region recover economically; both the National Wildlife Federation and the Nature Conservancy are involved in cleanup efforts.

Among the celebrity participants in the telethon are Gulf Coast natives Harry Connick Jr., Aaron Neville, Tim McGraw, Ian Somerhalder and James Carville. Carville’s wife, Mary Matalin, Alyssa Milano, Sting, Robert Redford, Ted Danson, Melania and Ivanka Trump, Chelsea Handler, Jenny McCarthy, Lenny Kravitz, Pete Wentz, Tyson Ritter, Edward James Olmos and Philippe Cousteau have also pledged their help.

Alyssa News: Alyssa in Kosovo

Natalie — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 18:17:40 +0000

I was visiting Alyssa’s official website and I noticed she blogged recently about her visit to Kosovo. Like Alyssa, I vaguely remember the conflicts going on in the war-torn country, but I remember more someone close to me going there to help these people and he didn’t come back the same person.

I read with great interested the story of Alyssa’s visit and I thought you, the fans, would enjoy reading about it as well.

Alyssa in Kosovo

Before I leave for any UNICEF field visit, I do quite a bit of research about where I’m going. I think like most people in the US, I didn’t know much about Kosovo at all. I vaguely remembered hearing news stories of the war back in 1999. There were reports of a conflict between Serbs and Albanians, talk of the NATO bombings, and of course Slobodian Milošević. But since then, there has been little news available. This is all my roundabout way of saying that it wasn’t until I got to Kosovo that I truly understood the complexities of this place and even more important, the complexities of healing a society in which everyone, in some way, was touched by war.
