She will be joined by singer Lupe Fiasco and actress Isabel Lucas, who are all going with the "Summit on the Summit" expedition, which is the brainchild of Biel's friend, singer Kenna, whose father suffered from waterborne diseases in Ethiopia as a child.
"This is a basic human necessity that needs to be addressed now," Biel said in a statement about her decision to climb the more than 19,000 feet to the mountain's peak.

18she's so burly, looks like a dude.
girlfriend, girlfriend, she doesn't have to do all that, just donate half of all they earn, don't u see they make way to much money, the constitution does not allow such things. every 15 seconds a child dies, is that like when the president says everyday thousands and thousands of people die without health insurance, last i heard the law says no one is to be turned away at hospitals. now girlfriend are u getting ur stats. from that cute katie couric on one of the abc channels. well now i guess i understand, now u go girl and drink ur clean pee.
this is a GREAT, noble cause that jessica biel is supporting. did you know that your pee is cleaner than the water that 1.1 BILLION people drink daily??? every 15 SECONDS, a child dies from a water-related disease. if jessica's actions are for press to raise awareness to this cause, than that is FANTASTIC!!! who in their right mind could argue that it's a bad thing?!
God Bless them all. the wealthy and the stealthy. we need more of them because of course they all come with very important degrees from highly rated colleges. i wonder how long it took her to do study on this emergency matter. i know maybe when she was jetsetting from new york to paris she got her degree online. now let us all remember celebrities make way to much we simply cannot have it, i think she and her hunk of a boyfriend should donate half of all they earn to this very worthy cause. now u go girl and climb that mountain. is there a tree anywhere that needs a hug.
I think biel will make timberlake look like a girl on that peak...She seems much stronger than him. She also seems like she'd have more endurance.

She's better than you. ----------------------------------------------------------- this must be jessica biel lol. Actually I am very attractive and have bigger boobs than j. biel so I have no reason to be jealous. I also have a Masters in science degree and jessica has no education so I can be jealous of her for that either lol. ************************************************************ Having fat girl boobs and a masters at Career Point Business school doesn't make you better. You still have the face of a mutt.

Yay Jessiza Beil!!
I read on another website just yesterday that Rhianna and Justin Timberlake are secretly dating (for weeks now) and he's due to dump Jessica at anytime. Has anyone else heard this? I'm thinking the website got it all wrong. Why would he dump Jessica. It just doesn't make sense. I guess I'll just wait and see.
Good for her! I also remember Justin T. talking about this a while back. Although they seemed like an odd pairing at first, it seems they have enough in common to make it last! :)
So much jealousy in women these days. What goes around comes around, and it will bite you in the booty!LOL
I agree 2.35- the person at 2.27 calling her "annoying" needs to build some self esteem. Do you know what the code word "annoying" stands for when a woman says that about another woman??? It means too much to handle. It means you cannot say anything nasty about her, yet you wish she would disappear because she is naturally beautiful,classy, doing her best etc.
Hopefully she'll stay there

I would not doubt her, she trains hard and works out, she is also charitable.
