Christina Applegate to Launch Cancer Charity in September

Cancer survivorChristina Applegate is launching a charity to help at-risk women who can't afford the proper preventative care. The Anchorman star will launch Right Action For Women in September this year and hopes the project will aid women get any cancer detected early.

She tells WENN, "It's a program giving financial aid to high-risk women who can't afford to get MRIs, which is how I found my cancer. It's unfortunate that insurance companies (in America) don't cover the cost of that. It's such an incredible device because you can find it at an early detection stage. We started our pilot program and started helping women already, even though we aren't launched."

"The other aspect of the programme is to do genetic counselling and help women understand what being high-risk means, and understanding what foods are good for their bloods and how to prevent this disease from happening. That has been my mission."

It's a happy time for Applegate - as well as launching the new charity drive, she also has new films coming out and recently announced she is expecting her first child.

Jewelry to Help the Gulf Coast

One of my most prized possessions is a Mignon Faget silver Fleur de Lis that my godmother who hails from New Orleans gave me. I always stop by the store at the Canal Place store when I'm in Crescent City.

If you're heartbroken about the oil spill in the Gulf, Mignon Faget has offered up a stylish way to help, a new collection called,  “In Mourning.”  It features tie tacks of local wildlife that have been endangered by the spill on black ribbons, charm bracelets and pendants. The pins available include pelicans, redfish, speckled trout and oysters. Some of the pieces have been oxidized  to represent the oil stains, like the chain link bracelet, above.

“It is a heartbreaking statement to make with jewelry originally designed to celebrate the abundant gifts of our coast,” says Faget, “but the reality is that we need to make people aware of this disaster and the long-term effects on this region.  We all need to do what we can.”

The Gulf Coast collection benefits the Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana.  It's available at Mignon Faget stores and online.

Doggie's Day Out at the Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman

The Jet Set Girls are big dog lovers and when we heard the Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman was teaming up with the Humane Society of Grand Cayman, we had to take a closer look.  Our stay on the island was a blast last year (we're pictured above with friends Lauren and Meghan) and we would have loved this opportunity.

For a $25 donation, guests at the Ritz-Carlton can take a shelter dog for a walk around the Blue Tip Golf Course or the nearby North Sound Club.  Local residents and island visitors are welcome to volunteer as well. Next time we go, we'll have to make room for doggie treats in our carry on!

The program was designed by Marcus Caudill, the Housekeeping Manager, who has an adopted dog named Charlie. "We knew our guests would enjoy taking the dogs out, but had no idea how successful the program would be," said Caudill. "On busy days we've even had waiting lists for the walking slots.  One guests enjoyed her outing so much , she handed me a check for $1,000 for the Humane Society afterwards."

Microbartering 101

One of our favorite things about our girls' trip is shopping. It's especially fun when you're in the Caribbean or somewhere with local crafts. If you don't have a trip planned to anywhere exotic, Buildanest.com brings the artisans to you. The site even does it one step better: the group provides interest-free financing to women in third world countries so they can purchase supplies, space at a bazaar and other items they need to start their own business. The proceeds from their items sold on the site, go to help the next generation of women.

The above lace rainbow tote is from Guatemala and retails for $60.

The Red Dress Show 2010

The Red Dress Show--to raise awareness of heart disease in women-- is always our favorite way to kick off fall fashion week. The star-studded show always has lots of energy and plenty of fun. Our faves from this year:

Estelle got our vote for best dressed in this patchwork Zac Posen.

Felicity Huffman in Oscar de la Renta was too cute as she snuck off the stage to give hubby William H. Macy a kiss.

Joan Collins wins it for "Diva of the Show"

A few of the ladies had problems with their shoes. Raven-Symone in Tadashi Shoji kicked hers 6-inch stilletos off at the end.

Olympic medalist Dara Torres in Rachel Roy didn't even bother with hers. As we tweeted, the barefoot look works when your tall and ripped!

We suspect Pauley Perrette  had a little too much liquid courage by the way she wobbled down the runway. The shoes were gone when it was time for her to walk the finale.

Heidi Klum in gorgeous John Galliano showed all the ladies how walking down the runway is done!
