2010 Angel Awards & Hispanics for the Opera
Lots of beautiful Angels were in attendance at the Project Angel Food “Angel Awards” Gala in Hollywood, recognizing corporations and people behind them who have supported the Agency. Among these was gorgeous actress Amy Adams, looking svelte after the birth of her newborn daughter, Aviana. The Academy Award nominee for her standout performance in Doubt, presented a special award to Paramount Pictures for their volunteering in the kitchen, which serves 13,000 meals a week (free of charge) to those affected by HIV/AIDS, cancer and other life threatening illnesses throughout Los Angeles County.
Another beauty, Pauley Perrette, who portrays the tattooed Amy in NCIS, is a Board Member of the organization, and hosted the event, which featured a musical performance by Euriamis Losada “EL” and Brian Kinler, and comedian Kim Coles. Sean Murray, who portrays the adorable computer geek in NCIS, and Leslie Bibb, who is currently working with Will Forte (SNL) on A Grand Old Fashioned Orgy (yes, that is the title of their new flick) were also in attendance at this star-studded event.
