George Clooney Malaria Scare

Filed under: Daily Hot List

George Clooney no longer has malaria after contracting the disease while visiting Sudan in December. Clooney was working with the UN to prevent another civil war.

A statement from Clooney's reps says the actor's swift recovery shows that 'with proper medication, the most lethal condition in Africa, can be reduced to bad ten days instead of a death sentence.'

In other celebrity health news, Kim Richards of 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' entered rehab after a boozy brawl with sister/co-star Kyle in the back of a limo during the show's season finale.

A note at the end of the episode said Kim was checked into rehab by her family after the episode and checked herself out a week later. The sisters have not spoken.

I got excited and found some free time today to finish up the book! The issues with the cover that I had before are all fixed, yay! You can take a look at the order page and preview on lulu.com here.

My digital camera is being cranky (I'm kinda worried...), so I don't have photos of the book, but I did take this snazzy new video of it:

Mural Painter Seeks Donors

Through my Brazilian percussion band, Batala , I have connections to so many different people, events and projects. One of my Batala sisters passed on this plea for funds to help mural painter, Joel Bergner create a mural to raise awareness about domestic violence in our communities. I checked out his paintings and immediately fell in love with the bold colors and simplicity of line. I hope some of my friends will also appreciate his style and the seriousness of this issue and help see this project to its completion. If you would like to donate, please see the link in the upper corner of my blog and thanks so much !
