Each winner will also be invited to design their own jewelry to benefit the Stars for a Cause charity.Winning stars will be invited to work with celebrity jeweler Robyn Rhodes to create one-of-a-kind items to wear on the red carpet during awards season. Men can also design their own diamond-studded shoes with Auri Footwear. Once they've worn the custom items, each piece will be auctioned to benefit the star's favorite charity.Rhodes has already interpreted the gem-encrusted visions of William Shatner, Goldie Hawn, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges and Jesse McCartney. Though none designed jewelry before, "they know what they want," Rhodes said."I'm pleasantly surprised because it seems that they do have a vision," she said. (For example, Shatner sought "something celestial" for his cuff links and tuxedo studs.)The only hitch is that some stars have been reluctant to part with their custom pieces, Rhodes said."They actually want to have a replica for their own collection," she said. "They don't want to give it up. They designed it and it's special."All the star-designed items will be auctioned May 28."CHECK OUT 'STARS FOR A CAUSE' BACKSTAGE AT THE GOLDEN GLOBEShttp://latimesblogs.latimes.com/thedishrag/2008/12/whats-going-on.htmlMOVE OVER, HARRY WINSTON!

LEDERERUNITED NATIONS (AP) — Iraq's U.N. ambassador on Monday urged the United Nations to commemorate yearly the anniversary of a chemical weapons attack by Saddam Hussein's government that he called the largest against civilians in history.Saddam ordered the attack on the city of Halabja on March 16, 1988, as part of a scorched-earth campaign to crush a Kurdish rebellion in the north, which was seen as aiding Iran in the final months of its war with Iraq.An estimated 5,600 people were killed — the vast majority of them Kurds — in the nerve and mustard gas attacks. Many survivors still suffer from the aftereffects."Today, more than 20 years later, we remember the innocent victims of Halabja chemical attacks with the hope that the continual efforts at progress of the world community will ensure that atrocities like these will not be committed again," Iraq's U.N. Ambassador Hamid Al Bayati told a U.N. commemoration of the 21st anniversary of the attack.Al Bayati said there are worries the attack may have a lasting genetic impact on the Kurds."The rate of cancers, and miscarriages and birth defects has increased in Halabja compared with the rest of Kurdistan or the rest of Iraqi areas," he said."I will call on the international community, especially the U.N., to commemorate this day every year to make it the day of genocide, the day of chemical weapons used against the people of Kurdistan — and to remind the world every year that such kind of attack by chemical and other kind of gases should be studied to see the effect of these kind of weapons," Al Bayati said.He said the effects of chemical weapons should be studied not only in people but in animals, plants and in the soil "because I think it will be contaminated for a long time to come."March 13, 2009 LA TimesGold Derby by Tom O'Neil - Is 'Irena's Vow' the next Holocaust awards champ?Back to Top ======================================================== March 13, 2009 National Review OnlineRemembering Halabja [Michael Rubin]March 16 marks the 21st anniversary of the Saddam Hussein regime's use of chemical weapons against Iraqi Kurds, killing 5,000 in the Iraqi Kurdish town of Halabja. The episode should be a reminder of just how genocidal Saddam was, and how much more secure the world is without him. And, while Halabja has become an international symbol of Saddam's brutality, it should not be forgotten that the town was only one of many attacked with chemical weapons during the Anfal campaign.At the same time, the world should not forget that, less than a decade later, after Iraqi Kurdistan had freed itself from Saddam's rule and secured itself under a U.S.-led "no-fly zone," the two major Kurdish leaders fought a bloody and unnecessary civil war largely over who would get what revenue. While fighting ended in 1997, neither Jalal Talabani nor Masud Barzani have accounted for 3,000 Iraqi Kurds whom their security forces detained and 'disappeared.' Because of the nature of international diplomacy, Talabani and Barzani may not face justice for mass murder, but they should certainly give the families of the missing relief and the knowledge of where they might find their loved ones' remains. Avoiding doing so makes a mockery of Halabja commemorations.Copyright © National Review Online 2009.
