Celebrities turned out for A Night to Benefit Raising Malawi and UNICEF at the United Nations in New York City, yesterday. The stars included Brooke Shields, Cynthia Nixon, Debra Messing, Kimora Lee Simmons, Salma Hayek, Gwyneth Paltrow, Rachel Zoe, Tom Cruise & Katie Holmes, Ali Larter, Drew Barrymore & Justin Long, Molly Sims, Lucy Lui, Chris Ivery & Ellen Pompeo, Rihanna, Demi Moore, Madonna & Lourdes, Jessica & Jerry Seinfeld, and Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony.

Madonna hosted the star-studded fundraiser for Malawi orphans, last night.

The legendary singer, who has a two-year-old adopted son David from the African country, threw the New York bash for her Raising Malawi Foundation, United Nations children’s organization UNICEF and to celebrate the opening of a new Gucci store.

Madonna, who dismissed rumors the event was raising money for Kabbalah, said: “I am grateful that Gucci has underwritten this event, that’s all that matters to me – their generosity. There’s always controversy surrounding anything that involves change.

“I want to put Raising Malawi on the map. I want credibility as a philanthropic organization. I want to inspire people. I don’t want them to just write me a check – I want them to give me a piece of their heart.”

I hope this show is going to be good, but I’m not going to hold my breath.

PS: Brooke looks FABULOUS!

Brooke Shields has been forced to undergo surgery on her foot – or risk permanent damage. The actress blames years of wearing high-heeled stiletto shoes in Broadway stage plays, Chicago and Grease for her unspecified foot problem. She explains, “(I’ve spent) too much time in Capezio shoes.”

She also went on to poke fun at other celebrities who lie about their plastic surgery. She added, “Watch, I’ll come out of that surgery with double D’s. It’ll be my version of a deviated septum.”

Lipstick Jungle is probably going to tank. 

Don’t get me wrong, I am of the many who miss SATC & am starving for more- I just don’t think Lipstick’s gonna cut it.  Not with the Cashmere Mafia already ruling the town.  I’m a huge fan of this new fabulous foursome … I’m afraid this trendy trio might fall on their faces.  Not gonna lie, I’m going to watch- but with very low expectations.

Who’s with me?

Brooke Shields was spotted with her two daughters Rowan and Grier. Aren’t they cute?

I’m sorry… I know I’ve said it a million times – but Katie looks so miserable.  Just really really sad.  That picture of her smiling for the fan – just says it all…doesn’t it?
