Javier Vazquez-Going For A Strike Out

I like baseball, and I like going to baseball games. The players though, not so much. The only dealings I've ever had with baseball players, besides watching them be bad tippers , is a major league farm team in a college town. We called them BMW's (baseball man whores) and I was never really impressed.

It's so nice to see someone doing something to make a difference, for not only their family, but to help others in the same boat as themselves. They're not doing it just because their sport has a contract to help a certain group.

There are some that go beyond what they have to do, and do what they want to do.

Javier Vazquez of the Chicago White Sox is one of those. He and his people have put together a foundation to help raise money for diabetes research.
His daughter Kamila, 5, was diagnosed with the disease at 2 years old and since then, Javier and his wife Kamille monitor her food intake. They watch not only what she eats, but how much. Along with monitoring her nutrition they also have to watch and monitor her blood levels.
They recently put together a fund raiser that along with The Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago raised $110,000 for the cause.
Not bad for the first K's for Kids Gala.
Let's hope they can do this next year too and they can strike out Type 1 diabetes for good.

Angelina Jolie and the Kids

Four in tow, and one(?) to go.

There was a time when you couldn't go a day, sometimes an hour, without reading about Angelina Jolie and her kids on FameCrawler. That hasn't been the case lately. Hell, this is the first time I've seen Shiloh since she started college. She's huge.

I don't know if their lack of publicity has been the result of carefully orchastrated underground activity, or if Britney Spears is really that interesting. Maybe a bit of both.

Halle Berry, the amazing, "wean herself off of insulin and drop from Type 1 diabeties, to Type 2" pregnant celeb is expecting a baby boy!

According to recent reports by friends, Berry, 41, is expecting a son with her supermodel boyfriend, Gabriel Aubry in February 2008. Hopefully she'll be blessed with a healthy child and maybe she'll get lucky and receive a baby gift from Britney Spears.
