Go barefoot for one day – that is the message actress Kristen Bell and TOMS footwear are sending out. One Day Without Shoes gives focus to children who cannot afford shoes and risk disease and infections because of injury and cuts to their feet. From TOMS website:

Through everyday encounters with domestic poverty, we are reminded to appreciate having food and shelter, but most of us all but forget about our feet. Food, shelter, AND shoes facilitate life’s fundamentals. Imagine a life without shoes; constantly aware of the ground in front of you, suffering regular cuts and scrapes, tending to infection after each walk, and enduring not only terrain, but heat and cold.
The problem is large, but the solution is simple. Wearing shoes and practicing basic hygiene can prevent both infection and disease due to unsafe roads and contaminated soil. By imagining a life barefoot, we can all contribute to the awareness of these conditions. On April 8th, communities, campuses, organizations, and individuals are banding together to walk barefoot for One Day Without Shoes.

Take a walk with us on April 8th, 2010.

Join Bell and actress Brittany Snow as they step out of their shoes on Thursday April 8th.

DaMan magazine gives The Vampire Diaries star Paul Wesley the nod for it’s third anniversary cover of the April 2010 issue. The actor spoke about his love of the Big Apple and how he is an avid skier/snowboarder:

“I love New York City, but not when it’s too cold. When it’s too cold, I love going skiing. I love snowboarding. I love, love, love, it. It’s one of my favorite things to do, I love to go to a ski chalet with some friends and go snowboarding. I just love it … If I had time, I would travel elsewhere. But unfortunately I only have time to go to New York.”

The actor looks hot hot hot – love it!

Wesley’s Stefan Salvatore is in trouble in the upcoming episode ‘Let The Right Ones In’ (Thursday April 8th.) The other vampires who have finally escaped the tomb are ticked off and looking for revenge.

Glee is coming back this spring (Tuesday April 13th,) after it’s long hibernation and the Fox network’s breakout, buzzed about show has scored the cover of Rolling Stone magazine. Matthew Morrison, Dianna Agron, Lea Michele, Jane Lynch and Cory Monteith are the chosen ones for the photo pep rally shot.

Glee creator Ryan Murphy, who previously helmed Nip/Tuck, explains the show’s double-edged appeal: “It’s about there being great joy to being different, and great pain.” Twenty-three-year-old Lea Michele, the Broadway talent who plays Rachel, tells Hedegaard about her tattoos, and Cory Monteith, who portrays jock Finn, owns up to a few childhood arrests for offenses that “didn’t hurt people.” Dianna Argon (slippery cheerleader Quinn) describes what it was like joining the cast late and falling victim to Monteith’s fart pranks, and 19-year-old Chris Colfer, who bravely plays gay teen Kurt, opens up about his own painful youth and his never-changing voice. “You know that forget-and-forgive bullshit? No, no, no, no, not for me,” he says of channeling childhood traumas into creative energy. “You take that grudge and let that grudge fester, and then you use it.”

The cast has an amazing month ahead of them: the Obama White House has invited the actors for the annual Easter Egg roll on the front lawn, there is the upcoming Madonna episode and the Oprah interview.

Why did the programmers have to put it on opposite LOST? As much as I love Glee - LOST’s final season wins out.

Katie Holmes was spotted carrying little Suri Cruise into Alice’s Tea Cup in New York City.  Okay, yeah.  So we always see Katie carrying Suri.  But, usually Suri is underdressed in cold weather or wearing high heels and makeup.  You, know like an average 3 year old.  Well, this time Suri is in her jammies and slippers with a blanket falling off of her, sucking her thumb.  Katie looks perky as usual.  I guess Suri wasn’t all growed up that day.

I don’t get it.

Wayne’s World star, Tia Carrere is ending her  seven-year marriage to a British photojournalist, Simon Wakelin.  Tia filed the papers on Thursday and is representing herself in court, seeking sole custody of their daughter, Bianca who is just 4.

The divorce papers naturally cite irreconcilable differences as well as a prenuptial agreement.

Tia’s first marriage was to Elie Samaha and that one ended in 2000.
