The stalker that’s after Jennifer Garner and her family will have a hard time reaching Ben Affleck. He went all Angelina Jolie on us, and decided to take a trip to the Congo to raise awareness for the suffering people of the African country.

He says,

I’m not an expert in international affairs or diplomacy, but it doesn’t take that to see the tremendous suffering here. It’s not something that we as human beings can, in good conscience, ignore.

The primary reason I am here is to urge people to give money to the NGOs and charities doing hard work in eastern Congo on meager funds. And if people out there have an existing relationship with a charity, to urge that charity to get involved in eastern Congo. To let people know, ‘Don’t just read the horror stories in the newspapers and turn off.’

I thought a lot of people are advocating on Darfur. I’d just be a very small log on a big fire. I started getting interested in Congo and I thought, this is a place where I can have a really big impact.

Madonna took a break from making rules for Guy Ritchie to release this video, urging the public to make donations to help her build a school for girls in Malawi.

Ok, breaks done, back to dealing with Guy… Or doing A-Rod…

Angelina Jolie is announcing that she and Brad are planning on taking their kids to Ethiopia on a humanitarian trip. Angelina says,

They’ll be in Ethiopia in a few weeks and they won’t have everything they have here, so we show them different worlds.

They help buy candy and shoes and water, then take it to the local people, hang out and talk to the kids. They see that the world isn’t balanced. Instead of preaching to them, we’re showing them and hope that sinks in - and they’ll find in themselves a desire to help strike a balance.

Angelina still thinks it’s cool to steal other old lady’s men though.

Naked is like the new black, ya’ll, but Andy’s a driver, not a passenger. The tennis star is going against the grain by not doing the naked thing like everyone else.

Andy is taking back his deal for a naked tennis lesson, which he originally offered up for Sir Elton John’s AIDS charity auction. A really stupid woman bid $11,200 for the honor, but Roddick insists that she’s not upset that she won’t be able to play nude “tennis” with the man. He says,

First and foremost, I am not going to be playing naked tennis. It was said in jest and the lady who bid was really cool afterwards.

“Really cool” meaning she ripped his little tennis balls out and he’s too ashamed to admit it.

Someone told me there was a message involved in this video, but I’m not seeing it… Are you?

Angelina Jolie, a UN Human Rights Campaign ambassador, visited Afghanistan this week to draw attention to the poverty in the region. She skipped out on last night’s LA premiere of her new film, The Changeling, for the trip.

Watch the emotional video of her trip after the jump.

They hate it so much that they somehow thought it was a good idea to walk a mile barefoot through Times Square earlier this week.  Apparently this was supposed to bring awareness to AIDS and poverty in Africa.

Ok, not really sure how walking barefoot through the gum and homeless people’s spit in NYC really helps the cause, but whatever sinks your ship I guess…

We mentioned earlier that Michael Lohan was auctioning off a chance to kick his ass. Well now we have a winner! Bob Venero (who?) CEO of Future Tech Enterprise coughed up $20,000 for the honor. On Nov. 24, the pair will slug it out for Long Island charities.

Apparently Venero’s never boxed in his life, and Lohan is claiming to have practiced martial arts for 7 years (liar).

We tried to post a video of Douchebag getting all excited about finally getting some airtime doing something good for charity, but it didn’t work.  You can watch the video here.

Michael Lohan is auctioning off a chance to beat him down in a boxing ring for charity.  Bidding will start at $5,000, and the winner will get to go up against daddy Lohan on Nov. 24 at the Hilton Long Island in Melville NY.  Organizer Jeff Cohen says,

Anybody who jumps into the ring with Michael Lohan will become famous.  Maybe you’ll get one of Lindsay Lohan’s ex-boyfriends who’ll try and impress Lindsay by beating up her father. Who knows? … You might get Samantha Ronson trying to put a bid in there.

Yeah, I don’t really think they’ll make much money on this one.  I mean do you actually know anyone who wants to kick Michael Lohan’s ass?  I sure don’t…

At least they didn’t turn the camera and do the all-annoying sideways video shot. We kid, we kid. It’s the thought that counts.

On her blog, Nicole talks about her recent visit to Beyond Shelter. She says,

This past year, philanthropy has opened my eyes to so much need and so much beauty. I have also realized how easy it is to help, and how rewarding it feels to be able to make a positive difference in someone’s life.

Last week, my friend Carlos and I brought a video camera to Beyond Shelter. Just the two of us. There are 175 children with families here, most of whom have been homeless at some point.

Today, they play in a concrete courtyard. Because of the neighborhood they live in, they have nowhere else to play. I met a woman who has ten children living in a three-bedroom house. The Beyond Shelter rec room only allows ten kids at a time. I wish you could all go there with me and see.

Texting CHILD to 90999 will donate $5 (billed to your phone) to help raise money to get these kids a playground.

Why are we posting this? So you all can see Scarlett Johansson looking all sexy librarian (or detective, or whatever she’s being) in this PSA and movie poster for her film The Spirit, or course!

Oh yeah, and to remind everyone to please, think of the trees, and recycle your old cell phones. Eva Mendes is also appearing in similar ads to help the Environmental Media Association and Lionsgate to educate people on the toxins in cell phone parts and the CO2 emissions produced in the manufacturing process.

Again, more importantly, Scarjo=hot eye candy.

I know we’ve all been waiting to see this. Jessica Alba gets tied up for the Declare Yourself ad campaign to try to encourage young people to register to vote. She says,

I really don’t see the point in not registering to vote. We sign up for MySpace pages and Facebook pages, and download music off the internet. The least people can do is register to vote online, actually making a difference in their world, not just making their lives a little bit cooler. It makes more sense to spend your time making a change in society—and it actually doesn’t take that much time! It takes more time to make a music playlist than it does to register to vote.

Any excuse to see Jessica Alba incapacitated is fine by me.
