Maria has been out and about this past weekend, attending a couple of events and continuing her support of Haiti and raising awareness about the issues there. On Friday she co-hosted a Judith Leiber event, alongside Patricia Arquette, to benefit Vital Voices, and then on Sunday she showed her support to Patricia Arquette and Rosetta Getty’s GiveLove to Haiti charity. You can read more about the GiveLove Dinner in the post below. Photos from both events have been added to our Gallery!
I’ve also been able to add some more media pages, thanks to a wonderful fan! ‘Coyote‘ has made us some super cute Animations & beautiful Fanart, so don’t miss those new additions.

GiveLove co-founders Patricia Arquette and Rosetta Getty, along with Jacqui Getty, welcomed guests to a private LA residence for the 1st Annual GiveLove to Haiti Dinner on Sunday, August 29th, 2010. The event’s mission was to raise awareness for GiveLove — a collaborative project to rebuild communities, homes and livelihoods for displaced Haitian earthquake survivors.
The exclusive dinner, which drew out “giving” celebs including Maria Bello, Odette Yusman, Rose McGowan and Rachel Bilson, featured Maestro DOBEL Diamond Tequila, which guests enjoyed throughout the nights.
James Van Der Beek and “Brothers and Sisters” co-stars Dave Annable and Balthazar Getty all sported the Choose Haiti H.E.L.P. Bracelet, while they toasted Maestro DOBEL Diamond Tequila.
The H.E.L.P. Bracelet which is created by Haitian artisans is available at BlanketAmerica.com; all funds for the bracelet and for the GiveLove event benefit the Haiti relief efforts.

Actress Maria Bello is headed to Haiti today (August 20th) to produce a documentary about the violence against women taking place in the earthquake-ravaged nation – and she’s headed there with volunteers from the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office.
A team from the sheriff’s office headed to Haiti (on their own dime) in May to further post-earthquake relief. They encountered people starving, inadequate medical facilities and also noted “the growing number of sexual assaults against women in the area that were taking place with frightening regularity, ” according to information released by the sheriff’s office.
They came home and began to collect a wide range of big ticket items such as operating tables, police equipment and children’s sleeping cots. They also worked with Source One Distributors, which donated 10,000 police whistles to be given to Haitian women to be used to alert authorities if danger strikes.
All these things are being packed in crates and will head to Haiti with another team from the sheriff’s office and Bello, best known for her roles in ‘A History of Violence,’ ‘Coyote Ugly,’ and ‘The Cooler,’ and who is a strong advocate of women’s rights.
The team will ensure these items make it to the people who need them.
