Celebrity Suites and chock- full goody bags for stars have become a staple at all of Hollywood's top events and awards shows. The Sundance Film Festival was no exception. Stars only had to show up at one of the celebrity hospitality suites and they were given everything from $300 designer jeans to high-end watches, sunglasses and other freebies.

At The TMG Style & Beauty Lounge's Fitness Loft, managed by Ms. Fitness Magazine Editor and fitness expert Greta Blackburn, Hollywood's hottest were even treated to health and fitness products and tips. But the Fitness Loft also provided superstars like Kevin Bacon, Neve Campbell, and Hayley Duff the opportunity to share their good fortune and give something BACK.
By autographing the ice blue Bogner Belita-D snow jacket on hand, they were adding star power to an online auction that will benefit Tsunami relief. (As we put this up the auction has not taken place, but you can go to www.cortislim.com for further info and auction dates!) "Hollywood truly has a heart and these busy stars showed that. Sundance was supposed to be all about THEM and yet in the midst of all the awards, movie openings, and parties, a good number of top personalities took the time to stop by our suite and sign this special ski jacket," says celeb fitness pro Greta Blackburn. "Plus, I knew that one of the sponsors of the Style and Beauty Lounge's Fitness Loft, Cortislim, would be the perfect company to go to for matching funds for the online auction's bid. Cortislim, with its commitment to helping people manage stress in thier lives, is a total lifestyle company. Sure enough, Cortislim happily offered to match up to $100,000 for the winning online bid on this celeb jacket. They put their money where their mouth is and really contributed to what will be the success of this Tsunami Relief fundraising effort."

Other celebs, including ex-Doobie Michael McDonald, Tom Arnold, and Donny Wahlberg, were happy to add their signatures, even though they had not made it to the Fitness Loft. McDonald signed the jacket just before going onstage to wow listeners at a live performance at ASCAP'S Music Cafe during Sundance. Wahlberg took time out from movie rehearsals back in Los Angeles to sign the jacket and Arnold made it a special point to put his autograph on the auction item the night before taping his popular TV show. When asked to sign, actress and Las Vegas headliner Susan Anton, a Sundance attendee, exclaimed, "That's such a cool thing to do!" and happily signed. As Arnold put it, "This is the best darn ski jacket! Period! I'm happy to help out for such a great cause." Cortilsim, the premium, top-selling dietary supplement was a natural fit for the Style and Beauty Lounge's Fitness Loft," fitness' Blackburn explained, "because it's the perfect antidote for the stressed-out Hollywood lifestyle. "Many of those who visited with us at Sundance had seen or heard the ads for the product and were genuinely happy to be able to try it out and see for themselves. I'm looking forward to hearing from a lot of the actors after they've had a chance to try it!" The snow jacket was through the Cortislim website www.cortislim.com in conjunction with Ebay. Cortislim matched the winning bid from the auction, up to $100.000 and proceeds went to Unicef's Tsunami Relief. |
