[All photos by Neil Rasmus for PMc] Natalie Portman co-hosted an event last Friday to kick-off Lauren Bush's latest FEED Foundation project, "Hunger In America". The event was held at Colicchio & Sons, where Tom Colicchio himself cooked for guests on his wood-burning hearth.-
Guests included Jake Gyllenhaal**, Matthew Settle, Kelly Rutherford, David Lauren, Katie Couric, Tracy Stern, Rocco DiSpirito, and probably his mother.
If you missed the New York event, but would like to raise money for FEED while hobnobbing with the rich and famous, there's still time to purchase a ticket for the Los Angeles event, scheduled for next Sunday at Craft.
The FEED foundation has recently issued a FEED Haiti Fund in response to the January earthquake, to ensure the continuation of school feeding for Haitian children.
**Remember back in like, 2006 when Jake Gyllenhaal and Natalie Portman went on a date in the West Village and he bought her flowers and everyone was sort of hoping they were dating, because, lets face it, they'd be the cutest couple ever? But then he started dating Reese Witherspoon, and she bizarrely started dating Devendra Banhart? It's like these two are ships passing in the night, because of COURSE once he finally breaks up with Reese, Natalie is dating a ballet dancer. But the fact that they're obviously still buddies gives us hope that they will one day get together. Portman/Gyllenhaal in 2012!
