Ryan Reynolds and wife, Scarlett Johansson arrived to the "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Cure Parkinson's" 2008 Benefit in NYC last night. Also in attendance was the amazing Michael J. Fox and his wife Tracy Pollan. I can't express enough how much I admire Michael J. Fox and all that he has done to raise money and awareness to the disease and I know that Ryan feels the same way. He's been quoted saying that Michael was one of his inspirations for recently running the marathon. 

Julianne Moore was also there to help further the cause looking lovely in a black dress with a black belt and black suede boots. Your thoughts on her look?

Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds quietly married in Canada among a very small group of family and friends. In August, Scarlett gave the press a quote about wanting to take her time with the engagement. I guess that lie was to throw the world off on their bigger plan. 

"We're just enjoying our time. We're just recently - very recently - engaged. So, you know, we're just taking it easy. And no big plan yet. But it's a good time, and we're just... enjoying our time to be young and engaged. I mean, I'm 23. There's no reason to rush into it. Everything feels very natural and relaxed."

Congrats to the happy couple!! 

It's not like we missed her on the blogs as Scarlett Johansson is rarely seen these days. So who would have known that the actress just returned this week from her first trip to Rwanda with (RED), the initiative to engage business and consumer power in the fight against AIDS in Africa. During her four day stay, the actress visited projects and people who benefit from the flow of (RED) funds via the Global Fund into Rwanda to help tackle the AIDS and HIV pandemic there.

Now, that is something to be proud of.

“It was important for me to come here and understand the issue we’re up against firsthand. It’s not until you’ve had the privilege of meeting healthcare providers who are fighting the daily battle, heard from people who are now getting antiretroviral drugs to stay alive, and met mothers whose babies are born healthy because they received treatment that stopped transmission of HIV, that you understand that we absolutely can do something to reverse the AIDS crisis in African countries.”

“I came here with an open mind, wanting to listen, understand and learn; I leave with the overwhelming understanding that the small action of making a (RED) choice in your purchases in the West has an enormous impact on the lives of people in countries like Rwanda”
