Kate surfaces Hey, it’s fashion week in New York, and we’ve been wondering where Kate Bosworth has been hiding.
The Cohasset actress was finally snapped at the Diesel Black Gold Fall 2009 show. Of course, the fashionista (below left) got a front-row seat, next to rapper Common, singer Roisin Murphy, and diminu-diva Nicole Ritchie. Ben’s big heart Ben Affleck told a crowd at a charity event in LA Wednesday night that he worried people would think he was “just an airhead celebrity” when he got involved with charity work in Africa. “I thought, you know, I don’t want to be a dilettante,” Affleck said in a speech at the Children Mending Hearts event, according to the Press Association. Affleck has become known for his work in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he shot a documentary and served as a special “Nightline” correspondent. Sheryl Crow sang at the event, which was also attended by Andie MacDowell, Joel Madden, Kate Walsh, Marisa Tomei, Alyssa Milano, and Elizabeth Berkeley. Proud wife Jennifer Garner also snuck into watch Ben’s speech, but reportedly made a quick break after. MC meet M.C. MC Hammer dined at UpStairs on the Square Wednesday night. The rapper was hanging with a group of Harvard students after speaking at the business school. Of course, owner Mary-Catherine Deibel felt compelled to introduce herself to Hammer as “another M.C. . somehow, he didn’t seem impressed,” she told us, in an e-mail.
