Julianne Moore recently appeared on The View to chat about her participation in a new Valentine's Day initiative with Save the Children - an organization that provides tools and support to over 35,000 poverty-stricken children."In a land of such wealth and prosperity, it is shocking to see so many children and their families struggling to get by. In fact, in rural America, one in five children lives in poverty," said Moore.
Here's how it works: simply visit SaveTheChildren.org and make a donation between Friday, Feb. 1st and Thursday, Feb. 14th. From there you'll be able to print and email custom Valentine's Day cards to friends and snuggle buddies alike, and get the satisfaction of also helping a great organization.
Illustrators who created cards for the Save the Children Valentine's Day campaign include Ian Falconer (the "Olivia the Pig" series), Kevin Henkes ("Lily's Purple Plastic Purse"), Mo Willems ("Leonardo the Terrible Monster"), Brian Selznick ("The Invention of Hugo Cabret"), Marla Frazee ("A Couple of Boys Have Their Best Week Ever"), Rosemary Wells ("Max and Ruby," "Noisy Nora") and LeUyen Pham ("Freckleface Strawberry" by Julianne Moore).

She says she prefers it over the SUV because it's "good for the environment, and it's adorable!"

Robert Downey Jr. has revealed that he loves to Google himself. "I love all that shit personally. Sorry. I love just it. Because it's a hoot. Some people overstate their support, like they know you," RDJ said.

One would think the upside of a new Depression would be a return to 1930s Art Deco glamour. But the Rainbow Room, which opened in 1934, is closing its famed New York restaurant.The Cipriani family, the restaurateurs famed for starting Harry's Bar in Venice and who have run the Rainbow Grill since 1998, is shuttering the Rockefeller Center highrise establishment's doors, citing tough times and a dispute with the Rainbow Room's landlord. (The bar and ballroom are staying open.) That's the official reason; family scion Giuseppe Cipriani's overseas trip, conveniently timed to dodge an investigation by New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo into how his restaurants kept their liquor license, isn't mentioned. It's a shame: If there's a time New York City needed a civic institution like the Rainbow Room, it's surely now - as much as it was called for 74 years ago.

A day after the death of his son, Jett, John Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston remain in shock, a friend of the family tells PEOPLE.
"He never dreamed of this - their relationship was so close," says family attorney Mike Ossi, who is in the Bahamas with the actor. "He always said 'I'm happy as long as my kids are happy.' He is heartbroken ... To bury your son is the worst thing you can ever do."
According to Ossi, 16-year-old Jett was discovered by a nanny on Friday morning around 10 a.m. After the nanny called 911, John Travolta tried in vain to resuscitate his son.
"He didn't want anything to happen to that boy, and he kept on trying to revive him," said Ossi. "He did mouth-to-mouth until they had to physically remove John to take Jett to the hospital."
The teen, who is the only son of Travolta, 54, and Preston, 46, has a history of having seizures. Police spokeswoman Loretta Mackey told the Associated Press that Jett hit his head in a bathtub Friday morning and was declared dead at Rand Memorial Hospital.
Tragic to say the least.
