Matt Sorum of Guns N Roses & Velvet Revolver with Comedian Ben Morrison at My House, Hollywood, CA on June 10, 2010.

An autographed guitar by Matt Sorum,  Guns N Roses and Velvet Revolver fame, went for $15,000 at last night’s, “Hands For Haiti” event at My House, in Hollywood CA.

Money raised will support The Abolish Slavery Coalition‘s rescue and rehabilitation of women and children forced into slavery.

Human trafficking is the fastest growing illegal business in the world, with children as the commodity.  There are more than 27 million slaves in the world today —  more than in any other time in history.

Meet Thuy Lai, a young girl living in Kampochea who at age 8 was the youngest madam The Abolish Slavery coalition has yet to encounter.  Her mixed Vietnamese and Cambodia heritage was seen as an asset to human traffickers who prey on little Vietnamese girls.   An undercover Vietnamese field agent took this picture of Thuy.

In 2007 Thuy “disappeared.”

Comedian Ben Morrison, Ashton Kutcher‘s MTV’s Punk’d prankster, pictured below, hosted the event for The Abolish Slavery Coalition.  Kutcher and wife Demi Moore are dedicated to banning child slavery and have launched a campaign of their own called Resatevac.

Nick Howard, aka DJ Reflex, spun for the crowd after the auction. Reflex is a top hip hop dj and is credited for helping break such artists as 50 Cent and Kanye West.

Revolutionary Me is a clothing company that wants to being change to the world through fashion.  Their prints contain political messages like love your earth and fight for freedom.  The “true birth” shirt pictured below was passed out to guests in attendance, and signifies that each human being is special and should not be forgotten.

Money raised at the benefit will support the Port Au Prince Missions to rescue and rehabilitate women and children victimized by human trafficking by providing clean water, solar energy, education, and disaster relief.

September 08: Rachel Zoe and Kate Hudson attend Bravo's The Rachel Zoe Project series launch party at The Gramercy Park Hotel in New York City.

Rachel Zoe dresses high profile celebrities and as a result demands high fees rumored at upwards of $6,000 a day.

The Rachel Zoe Project on Bravo is about the inner workings of Zoe’s world as she attempts to turn her style into a brand.

Zoe makes the perfect reality star and the decision to have a cable show was really a no brainer as she didn’t have much to lose in the general public’s eye. While respected in the fashion world for dressing high profile stars like Demi Moore, Cameron Diaz and Kate Hudsen, Zoe’s public image desperately needed a make over due to accusations of drug use and promoting the stick-thin image. Los Angeles Times once claimed Zoe was “single-handedly bringing anorexia back.”

“I don’t think it’s fair to say that I’m responsible because I’m a thin person, that because I’m influencing their style I’m influencing what they eat,” Zoe stated. “There was this crazy rumor that I was getting diet pills from Mexico and distributing them. I was like, ‘Okay, I’ve never even tried cocaine. I don’t do drugs — I’m too much of a control freak’.”

But Zoe’s past drama in the press seemed to finally work in her favor. The premiere episode of her reality show got higher ratings than the first episode of Project Runway with 527,000 eyes.

Bloggers immediately took to the Internet and typed they were surprised how personable Zoe came across on television. The mainstream press, however, turned out to be a different story. New York Times television critic Ginia Bellafante called Zoe “a pox on humanity” and her “mad consumption … downright unseemly.”

Zoe, who reportedly cried after reading the NYT review, once again defended herself telling the LA Times: “It was the strangest thing in the world for someone who has never met me to accuse me of making our society superficial. Judging the state of society based on me? A ‘pox’? This show is not an effort to solve world issues. It’s a bit of glamour, a bit of an escape.”

Zoe got the last laugh as despite criticism show ratings continued to climb and we here at Style Seen Daily know that Zoe is going no where but up, up, up.

SSD Co-Founder Crystal Fambrini profiled Zoe for Current TV.

Hollywood Domino

Hollywood Domino is the original table game created in Hollywood and played by the stars. The classic game of dominos was given a new twist when A-listers such as Demi Moore, Penelope Cruz, and Charlize Theron began playing dominos with their own “house rules”, creating Hollywood Domino.  February 2008 saw the first Hollywood Domino tournament in Los Angeles, where Charlize Theron was crowned domino champion.

The exhibit was the first of its kind for Vanity Fair. Guests had the opportunity to view numerous VF covers, rare photos from the archives, and video playing on plasma televisions throughout the musem featuring behind the scenes footage from famous editorial photoshoots, including one with George Clooney.  And who can forget the infamous “Moore Demi Moore” cover.

This August 1991 Vanity Fair cover with a pregnant Demi Moore is one of the most highly regarded magazine covers of all time, and it is one of photographer Annie Leibovitz's best known works. This cover was very controversial at the time with critics saying it was obscene. This cover made pregnancy photos fashionable.

This cover is on display at LACMA or, as SSD discovered, you can purchase your own for just under $30 on ebay.

The party was a hot ticket, drawing out numerous celebrities, including Mischa Barton, Joan Collins, Rosario Dawson, Illeana Douglas, Minnie Driver, Brian Grazer, George Hamilton, Mandy Moore, and Rainn Wilson.  You can see what these celebs were wearing, and our SSD review, in the gallery below.

At the end of the evenings, invited guests received a Burberry gift bag that included a Vanity Fair Portraits Coffee Table book. 

The Los Angeles presentation, which is sponsored by Burberry, will be the only U.S. stop on the exhibition’s international tour.  The exhibit is open to the public and will go from October 26 to March.  For tickets visit www.lacma.org.
