Traditionally, a number of events are held the weekend of the awards to celebrate the years accomplishments and raise money for charity.  First up was the annual CAA Pre-Golden Globe party held at The Buffalo Lounge for CAA clients on January 9.  Others in attendance included Hilary Swank, Colin Farrell, Jeremy Piven, Harry Connick, Jr., Emmy Rossum, Tom Cruise and Zac Efron.  Click the image to the left for more pictures in the gallery.

Last night, Gerard attended The Art of Elysium 2nd Annual Black Tie Charity Gala “Heaven” at Vibiana in Los Angeles.  The Art of Elysium is an organization founded in 1997 that encourages working actors, artists and musicians to voluntarily dedicate their time and talent to children who are battling serious medical conditions. They provide artistic workshops in the following disciplines: acting, art, comedy, fashion, music, radio, songwriting and creative writing.  Click the picture to the right for more images.

View the video below to see Gerard, Alan Siegel and David Meister arriving at the event.

By now many of our visitors have read the article from the Los Angeles Times about RockNRolla and its limited North American release (3 cities on October 8 and 800 cities on October 31).

So, what to do?  If you, your family members, your friends and everyone else you know want to see this “English film” in a theater near you, let’s start the campaign for that to happen now!  With a cast that includes not only Gerry, but Idris Elba, Jeremy Piven, Chris Bridges (Ludacris), Tom Wilkinson and Thandie Newton, it would be a shame that more people would miss out on the chance to see this film on the big screen!

Consider voicing your support and we can send the message to Warner Bros. that this film deserves a wide release and a little marketing money!  Let them know that we love “English films”!  Use any or all of the links below!
