Oscar-winning Hollywood star Halle Berry is auctioning off a unique, hand-carved rose gold cuff Gara Danielle-designed bracelet to show her support for families dealing with the devastating effects of domestic violence.
Proceeds from an online auction at CharityBuzz will be be Donated to the Jenesse Center, a non-profit organization that was founded in 1980 and provides help to victims of domestic violence through support facilities, education and health programs, among others.
“JC is an organization that is very close to my heart,” said Halle Berry, 42. “Their work makes a tremendous difference in the lives of women and children and I am proud to support such a worthy cause by auctioning off this beautiful bracelet.”
Made from 14K rose gold plate over sterling silver, this adjustable cuff bracelet was designed exclusively for Halle Berry to wear in the advertising campaign for her debut fragrance, Halle by Halle Berry. Berry loved the bracelet so much that she decided to keep it for her own collection. The one on auction is an exact replica by Gara Danielle, and only other one in existence, crafted exclusively for this auction to benefit JC.
The auction, which opened on April 15, will close on May 6. At the time of writing (16:00 hrs EST), there are 7 bids, and the current highest bid is $1050. The minimum next bid is $1300.

Watson, who celebrated her 19th birthday just a couple of weeks before, will be the new face of Burberry Autumn/Winter 2009 collection, the photo shoot for which got postponed because she didn’t appreciate the idea of being photographed alongside a bunch of girls.
Well, I guess when you’re Emma Watson, you can afford to get rid of the girls, and pose with four hunks instead (which, I hear, is what happened).
In another news, Karl Lagerfeld has been shooting Emma for ‘Crash’, and according to sources, she’s dressed as a nun in one of the shots.
Must appear like some kind of spin-off from Harry Potter series.

MTV Reality Show The Hills’ star Audrina Patridge has decided to play angel for animals in the new promotion for Peta (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals).
The Into the Blue 2 star recently debuted her Peta billboard that says “Be an angel for animals. ALWAYS ADOPT. NEVER BUY.”
Patridge says she she knew choosing to adopt from an animal shelter is the only way to ensure that a loving animal will not be killed because there simply aren’t enough good homes.
“I wanted to get involved with Peta because I’ve always been passionate about animals,” the 23-year-old actress told People magazine.
“And I think this is a great way to make people and all my fans aware of all the animals that need a home. And a lot of people go to pet stores and breeders to buy their animals, but you should adopt, so go to an animal shelter and rescue a dog.”
By the way, the cute little pooch in the poster is named Speedy Gonzales, which Patridge rescued herself. The picture is mounted on a huge billboard on Beverly Boulevard in LA.
