'Ugly Betty' star America Ferrera set to volunteer in Africa over holidays
-- Proving that being a celeb can be a whole lot more than just being glamorous.Indeed, after spending time with the fam over the Christmas holiday, Ferrera is packing her bags and heading off to Mali with Save the Children . As its "Education Ambassador" -- a position she's held for the past 2 years -- Ferrera will be handing out books to children and families and visiting schools that the charity is currently building.
"It's strange to be an 'Education Ambassador' when these children lack such basic need like food and shelter," says Ferrera. "The line gets blurred between providing education and helping provide for these needs. Really, my goal is to help promote a healthier environment for these children where they can get education and have better lives."
What inspired Ferrera commitment to promoting education for these children?
"As the youngest of 6 kids with a single mother, I was taught that school and education was our way out," she says.

Lucia (America Ferrera) and Marcus (Lance Gross) are college sweethearts and decide to get married. Egotistical competitive fathers (Forest Whitaker and Carlos Mencia) don’t want it to happen. On the wedding day, mayhem happens as the two compete to be the best. Diana Maria Riva and Regina King co-star. The film was co-written and directed by Rick Famuyiwa, with Malcolm Spellman and Wayne Conley as co-writers as well. OUR FAMILY WEDDING opens wide on March 12th.
Official synopsis:
“Our marriage, their wedding.” It’s lesson number one for any newly engaged couple, and Lucia (America Ferrera) and Marcus (Lance Gross) are no exception. In Fox Searchlight Pictures’ OUR FAMILY WEDDING, they learn the hard way that the path to saying “I do” can be rife with familial strife. When they return from college and too suddenly announce their marriage plans, they soon discover that their fathers – two highly competitive over-the-top egos – can wreak a major amount of havoc on their special day.
With insults flying and tempers running high, it’s anyone’s guess if the alpha dads (Forest Whitaker and Carlos Mencia) will survive to make it down the aisle in one piece. Lucia’s mother (Diana Maria Riva) is busy planning the wedding of “her” dreams and the only levelheaded one in the bunch is Angela (Regina King), the groom’s father’s best friend and lawyer, who manages to keep her cool when the madness reaches a crescendo.
With only weeks to plan their wedding, Lucia and Marcus soon discover the true meaning of love and find there is truth to the saying – that when you marry someone, you marry their entire family.

Christina Aguilera Is Washed Up
Christina Aguilera Is Washed Up
Here’s Christina Aguilera ringing in the New Year at Tao nightclub. We haven’t seen much Xtina, ever since she had kids, but this new look of hers isn’t working for me. Her funbags look deflated and the rest of her body looks like it belong to a 35 year old crack whore. I don’t even want to ask how much? See more pictures now!!!
Molly Sims Bikini Pictures
Molly Sims Bikini Pictures
The last time I had pictures of Molly Sims on the site she was doing some weird sh#t with her puppies and I remember thinking that that was the end of her hotness. Well, I’m glad that she’s decided to prove me wrong by prancing around and shaking her ass in her little bikini. How thoughtful. See more pictures now!!!
Lindsay Lohan Swimsuit Pictures
Lindsay Lohan Swimsuit Pictures
If you ask me, there’s not much in this mixed up world more enjoyable than to watch a hot chick try on swimsuits in a sexy pair of heels. Here’s Lindsay Lohan and her delicious chesticles doing just that. I have to say that I’m impressed, if I were there I’d pay for the damn thing myself. After I came to, of course, because chances are all my blood would have quickly rushed from my head causing me to pass out like a gay guy at a Jonas Brothers concert See more pictures now!!!
Kate Hudson And Her Milky White Thighs!!
Kate Hudson And Her Milky White Thighs!!
I don’t really know what Kate Hudson is doing in these pictures, but I’m glad she decided to do it in a short little skirt. I know it kinda looks like a sixty year old hippy’s sundress, but I like her sexy legs so who gives a shit. Although, a little sun wouldn’t hurt. I’m still annoyed that she hasn’t done something about her boobs, or lack there of. This is Hollywood baby, everybody does it. I wonder how many times she’s heard that before.
Amber Rose Is Out Of This World
Amber Rose Is Out Of This World
Here’s Kanye West’s girlfriend/thing Amber Rose out in West Hollywood. I’m not going to lie, if Aliens touched down on Earth and they looked like this, I’d probably hit it, but for now the unknown scares me. Who am I kidding, I’d still hit that, as long as it doesn’t have teeth on its privates.
