Michael Sheen Supports UK Salvation Army Christmas Drive

December 12, 2011

Michael Sheen is lending his name to the efforts of the Salvation Army in the UK. According to their press release:

Award-winning actor Michael Sheen has shared his favourite childhood Christmas present with The Salvation Army.

Currently appearing on stage in Hamlet at the Young Vic, Michael has taken time out of his busy schedule to reflect on past Christmas gifts – as part of The Salvation Army’s Christmas Present Appeal.

Best known for his performances in Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Frost/Nixon, The Damned United and The Queen, Michael said: “One year when I was 7 or 8, we had Christmas at my grandmother’s house, which I loved. I got an astronaut outfit and never took it off.”

Major Ray Irving, Territorial Social Services Secretary said: “Michael has proved he is a true star by brightening up our Christmas Present Appeal and sharing this special memory.

“The Salvation Army has a long history of offering practical support to people who are vulnerable or in need. This year, more children than ever before could face an empty space under the Christmas tree and we’re determined to stop that from happening – especially when just one present can make all the difference to a child.”

The Salvation Army’s Christmas Present Appeal relies on the generosity of others who are able to buy an extra gift for children aged 0-16. The presents can be dropped off unwrapped at local Superdrug stores or Salvation Army halls and centres from now until 16 December.

Salvation Army volunteers will then wrap the gifts and ensure they reach a needy child or young person this Christmas thanks to The Salvation Army’s own networks, local groups and social services.

Robert Pattinson Sponsored Auction Raised Money For Asian School, New Auction Coming Soon

October 24, 2011

This just in from Marc Malken over at E!

Robert Pattinson has given young girls—and everyone else, for that matter—another reason to love him even more.

Here’s how it came about: About a year ago, Pattinson donated a meet and greet with fans on the set of Breaking Dawn for a charity auction.

Not only did a Chicago family win the coveted prize with a bid of $80,000, but…

The money raised by Pattz for the Go Campaign is being used 100 percent to build a permanent home for PAGE (Program Advancing Girls Education), an organization helping to educate teen girls in Cambodia.

Pattinson Online Book Project

July 25, 2010

The ladies over at Pattinson Online (the site that followed Robert Pattinson way before anyone ever heard of him) has started a charity project to support Robert Pattinson in his new movie, Bel Ami. They write:

“A few months ago we were approached by Fandemonium Publishing, an imprint of Bibliolife, to create an exclusive fansite version of the novel Bel Ami by Guy de Maupassant[Lexicon note: the reason this is possible is that the book is in the public domain and copyright is no longer an issue.]. Fandemonium and Pattinson Online took Bel Ami, a classic novel, and repackaged it with photographs of Rob on the set of the film adaptation. We worked together to thoughtfully consider each photo, its placement, and the appropriate quotations from the book to bring a brand new version of this classic novel to readers and fans.
Bel Ami is a contagious read because it is written in a manner that both the casual reader and the avid reader can appreciate. We believe our version of the novel will encourage more of Rob’s fans to read the book and build anticipation for the film. While our version focuses on branding the character of Georges Duroy, our ultimate desire is to encourage Rob’s fans to support him in all of his current and future film roles, something we believe distinguishes this project from the fan material currently on the market. In working together, Pattinson Online and Fandemonium have delivered what we feel is an engaging book that respects a classic work.
The Bel Ami Pattinson Online Fan Site Edition will be available for sale on Amazon and its affiliates, as well as Barnes & Noble and several other major book retailers. You can see the book’s official landing page at http://www.belamibook.com/.While the book itself is a big deal for us at Pattinson Online, we’re also excited to be partnering with Fandom Gives Back, a fandom-wide initiative that has raised over $140,000 for childhood cancer research through Alex’s Lemonade Stand. We recently auctioned off two copies of the book which raised $145 for FGB. You can learn more about this awesome project at the official FGB site. http://thefandomgivesback.blogspot.com/
To encourage fans to read Bel Ami, we’re also hosting a Bel Ami Book Club (http://www.robert-pattinson.co.uk/countdown/book-club/) where fans can read and discuss the book along with us. We are hoping to get this started in the next few weeks.”
