Young Girl Fights Fatal Leukemia in NYC
Soo sad :(
Celebrities have stepped up to help a 6-year-old New York City girl who is suffering from a rare and particularly deadly form of leukemia.
Doctors fear Little Jasmina Anema could die unless she receives a bone-marrow transplant soon, according to the New York Daily News.performers Kelly Rowland and Rihanna and NBA star Paul Pierce are spreading the word about a bone marrow drive to be held Saturday in hopes of finding a match for Jasmina.
The best bets for donors are usually family members and, in the case of Jasmina, a donor who is African-American like her. But Jasmina was adopted, and her mother is white.
"I need thousands of people to come," Theodora Anema, Jasmina's mother, told the newspaper.
The "One for Jasmina" Web site has information about the donor drive, as well as how to become a donor by requesting a simple kit. (From AOL News)

SOLANGE WANTS MORE KIDS, BUT LOOKING FOR A MAN FIRST
R&B star Solange Knowles is desperate to find a new man - so she can adopt a child.
Beyonce's younger sister divorced husband Daniel Smith in October 2007 - but the split has not put her off exchanging vows in the future. She says, "I'd definitely get married again." Solange would love to follow in the footsteps of stars like Angelina Jolie and Madonna and adopt a child - because growing up with singer Kelly Rowland showed her you don't need to be blood relatives to form sisterly bonds. She adds she would love to have more children, "even if it means adopting... If there are two people devoted to nourishing and growing and developing their love for a child that is a beautiful thing. Kelly grew up with me since I was about five years old, so she is my sister. She didn't come from my parents, but there is nothing I feel differently for her than my sister. I have definitely explored that option... But I've got to find a man first!"

Kelly Rowland runs up 200k bar bill
Destiny’s Child singer parties with U2 frontman Bono
Kelly Rowland hosted a mammoth 10-hour party in St Tropez on Friday – racking up a bill of £196,230.
The Destiny's Child singer was holding the Amika's Weekend Takeover bash for 30 of her friends.
She even invited U2 frontman Bono, 48, to join her
Kelly, 27, and her entourage are said to have downed 50 magnums of £3,000 vintage Dom Perignon, 24 bottles of £490 Patron tequila and 10 bottles of £2,000 Louis XIII cognac.
‘Kelly was the ultimate host. Even when the bar bill began to spiral out of control, she refused to close the tab,’ a source tells the Daily Mirror. ‘She had 30 very thirsty pals, so it was always going to be a pretty big night.
‘Bono arrived quite late and Kelly told him to order whatever he liked. A good night was had by all.’
