Lindsay Should Take Some Lessons From ScarJo
Filed under: Scarlett Johansson
It's nice to see celebs working for a great cause and using their celebrity for good.
Instead of blogging about doing good, this big-boobied blonde is actually doing it!
Scarlett Johansson just returned from her first trip to Rwanda with (RED), whose primary objective "is to engage the private sector in raising awareness and funds for the Global Fund, to help fight AIDS in Africa."
The blonde humanitarian stayed four days and visited people and different projects benefiting from (RED) funds via the Global Fund into Rwanada.
ScarJo has been supporting the fight in Rwanda against AIDS and HIV for sometime now.
She said of her trip, "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."
And while in Rwanda, ScarJo visited the Treatment Research and AIDS Clinic in Kigali where she met with doctors and patients at the facility. She also met there with Dr. Anita Asiimwe (pictured above), the Director General of TRAC, during her visit.
ScarJo then visited the Rural Health Clinic in Kabuga which provides HIV counseling and testing, as well as antiretroviral therapy.
In just two years, they've helped bring in over $22 million into Rwanda so far.
Good job!

I love her!
she is so fabulous. great turn around from the old new we would get
Rwanda, why can't that bicth stamp out the AIDS over here.
The Doucher
she's good.
Lindsay is too busy sharing
her political views with the world
and getting sloppy drunk every night.
ello!
AN angel, come on Perez, she is a publicity whore. She could give a shit about that. If she did you'd never hear about.
I report you decide,

Now this is the same place that the Great Stain Maker Bill Clinton (who this Hollywood biyotch idolizes) allowed to be run over by militants and thugs. So now were supposed to send money to this area when Clinton was the one who ran it into the ground while the war was going on. Nice one. No thanks
I LOVE SCARJO!
ScarJo is a class act
good for her. it feels great helping others out and reaching out to the world.
Obama/Biden 08
…hey, great. If our Government cannot assist them, and why should we????it's great that a Hollywood Star can. "Something's Missing"…
Good
So now the same guy who is Hussein Obama's Finance Expert is the same guy who was running Fannie Mae which we all know was just run into the ground. Good choice there Hussein. Vote McCain for President.
I really think this is wonderful. I would like to add…
What the hell are celebrities doing for people that are starving or dying HERE in the US?
Why does Perez relate EVERYTHING to Lindsay Lohan! Do people even care about her? I don't think they do.
Dear Perez,
Please shut up about Lindsay Lohan, she's not even remotely interesting.
Scarlett is so ace, class act. Natalie Portman is too.

I'd go to Rwanda and do Scarlet Jo, then come back. it would be awesome.
Are you serious?You obviously havent heard her diva attitude on the set of her latest movie with Penelope Cruz?She sureee made some friends there./
She stayed what for 4 days,and with the cameras along?You dont know what Lindsay does behind the scenes so dont judge.Its not accidental she has many my space friends who are cancer sufferers and survivors.
Hey Scarlett……don't go trying to taking my place!
Re: jthrasher – Back off bub, everything is relative to LiLo and if my man Perez sez its so… it so.
Don't make me come over there,
Rocky Doucheboa
Well, at least it's postive news concerning a young star! It could be worse.
Good for her. But what does Lindsey have to do with this? Or are you just
saying….
Blah, Blah Blah…How about helping people in AMERICA!!! There are people in america with aids….Instead of helping people you don't appreciate it, try helping your own first. Just like AngHOlina always going to these places and helping them. We have kids HERE that need help. They should move to France and stay there for good!!!
Aww i love her!! Good for her!!
so…what are you doing perez? you blog about these causes…and put links to their websites…and do nothing about it.
ur a hypocrite.
Wow, i always thought she was a stuck up bitch, but i guess not. go scarlett!!
Geminibarbi: I think its cool that she does that but i completley agree with you about helping people here 1st!
I think Lindsay AND Paris could learn from her. That is awesome. I tip my hat to Ms. Johansson.
Scarlett Johansson is a total hypocrite. She's all sweet and nice to poor people in Africa but she's a complete bitch to the paparazzi!
Oh Baby!! Those Pigtails Are Killing Me!! You Naughty Girl!!
Love ScarJo, nice that you put some angel wings on her Perez.
Re: State ziti – can't stand your racist rants……..but you are on a roll on this board……please don't make me eat my words
Re: offtheproperty – sounds like all the more reason to like her
scarlett is using this for good, lindsay will be more pissed after being denied by obama when scarjo is a a truly obama girl, stop blogging lilo, you're seeking more attention than your dad!
Re: offtheproperty –
OMG how can she treat the paparazzi like that¿¿ most absurd comment ever…
I'm sure it's SO hard to get a paid flight out there and to stay in a nice hotel and occasionally visit a poor village.
These celebs are pathetic.
ScarJo totally looks like she's sporting a baby bump! That would be one cute baby!
Makes me LAUGH how these celebrities travel to destitute places for their photo-ops (NOTE: the Jolie-Pitts). They dress themselves down (love the plaits Pollyanna…) and plaster a concerned look on their face. Hang around for 5 minutes to get some shots and then off they go on their helicopter back to the nearest 5 star hotel.
Why is there a photographer there at all, if they seriously want to roll their sleeves up and help ?????
AHHH!!!!! She is so fake! When she gets home, she is just going to pretend that she never even went on this trip. After this pic, she probably went straight back to her 5 star hotel and ate some food that these people get paid $1 a day digging up and making.
IF LINDSSAY DID THIS U'D JUST SAY IT WAS FOR PUBLICITY
This goes for all "do-gooder" celebs.
I think it's great that they're active in helping out causes, but really, they don't even donate a lot of money to charities (well some of them do). Shit, that's what they should be doing with all of their crap money they spend on stupid stuff. If I heard a celebrity donated, say, $500,000 to a cause, I would definitely be more interesting in donating. Are they really encouraging people to donate by visiting the country. When am I going to be ever be able to fucking go to Africa?
