Julia Roberts to Honor Paul Newman at Benefit
Monday September 29, 2008
 Kevin Mazur/WireImage.com Julia Roberts, Sean Penn and Tom Hanks are taking the stage to honor the charity work of late actor Paul Newman. The A-listers -- along with Jack Nicholson, Bruce Willis, Danny Devito, Warren Beatty, Annette Bening, Billy Crystal and Danny Glover -- will perform a staged reading of The World of Nick Adams, an adaptation of a number of Ernest Hemingway's stories by A.E. Hotchner, at San Francisco's Davies Symphony Hall on October 27. Proceeds benefit the Painted Turtle, the sixth addition to Newman's Hole in the Wall camps for seriously ill children, in California. There are 11 Camps around the world, with additional programs in Africa and Vietnam. Collectively, the camps have aided more than 135,000 children. See Us' photo tribute to Newman and other stars who have passed. Newman died Friday of cancer at age 83. In a statement, Robert Forrester, vice-chairman of Newman's Own Foundation, said: “Paul Newman’s craft was acting. His passion was racing. His love was his family and friends. And his heart and soul were dedicated to helping make the world a better place for all. "Paul had an abiding belief in the role that luck plays in one’s life, and its randomness. He was quick to acknowledge the good fortune he had in his own life, beginning with being born in America, and was acutely aware of how unlucky so many others were. True to his character, he quietly devoted himself to helping offset this imbalance." Join Us on Facebook and Twitter for even more up to the minute celebrity news and photos!

Who ever is organizing Paul's benefit should think twice about having Julia be the one to honor Paul. If they decide to have her open her mouth, They better stuff a bar of Ivory Soap in her mouth first. I have never heard a filthier oral cavity in my life. Keep the Children out of the room. Don't let her do it, she is the Queen of White Trash.

I loved Paul Newman. He had class, character, loved family, loved his wife, and knew his God-given potential to hel others and he did just that. I prayed that he was a true Christian, because someday in Heaven I'll have a chance to meet him. May God bless his wife Joanne Woodard, their remaining children/grandchildren during these days of adjustment.

Paul Newman was a class act in Hollywood. (as was his wife) I also didn't realize that 100% of the profits from his businesses (salad dressing, popcorn, etc.) went to charity. Amazing man.
