Circus Vargas took a stop to Hollywood and held its benefit gala, on May 11 at 7:30 p.m.to help the Harmony Project.
The Harmony Project provides music lessons for at-risk youth in the Los Angeles area.

Circus Vargas  is a  great show that is updated, upscale and keeps you on your seat.

Actress Julianna Rose and Actor Zach Callison opened the show as each sang for the crowd.  Then the Harmony Project came out to show us why it is so important to keep music in the schools.  The kids from the Harmony Project played the National Anthem as well as a few songs to show how well they have learned thru this great project.  Other local celebrity that came out were:  Actress Joey King, Recording Artist Temara Melek, Actress Isabella Rae Thomas, Actor Zachary Alexander Rice, and Actress Jennessa Rose.

This year, Circus Vargas is bringing a touch of Broadway to the Big Top, introducing famed singing Ringmaster Kevin Venardos. “Venardos skillfully melds melody with movement, adds a bit of Broadway and a splash of razzle-dazzle for an unbelievably entertaining extravaganza!”

Another crowd favorite is John Weiss who with his wife and kids all welcome everyone like family to the circus.  If you get there early enough you can meet him and his wife and kids and really feel like you are at home.  Watch his balancing acts.  Is there nothing he cannot balance?

The excitement does not  stop, the double danger sphere cage is amazing, including the youngest one Maximus, who takes part of the action,

CHER LLOYD has arrived in Hollywood and watch out this girl has the “It Factor”!.

On April 25, 2012, Variety’s Power of Youth and the United Nations Foundation held the “Letters of Hope” press event at the Pantages Theatre in Hollywood, CA. The United Nations Foundation’s Nothing But Nets campaign is linking Los Angeles youth with a humanitarian crisis half a world away through its Letters of Hope event .

The disease is the leading killer of children under five in South Sudan. Since last June, more than 130,000 refugees—and counting—have entered South Sudan to escape fighting in the region. As Nothing But Nets works to send 100,000 life-saving bed nets to these families, LA kids are trying to send them hope.

The United Nations Foundation recently announced a new Global Entrepreneurs Council which is made up of 10 emerging entrepreneurs under the age of 40 who will work with the UN to address global issues in a 21st century mindset. They include the marketing director of Facebook, Randi Zuckerberg, the VP of Consumer Products at Google, Marissa Mayer, and the publisher of Variety Magazine, Brian Gott, amongst others involved in  Nothing But Nets.

Nothing But Nets is powered by your passion; it works because you do! Grab your family, friends, and classmates and work together to spread the word, raise funds, and share stories.

Your $10 contribution goes towards the cost of purchasing a long-lasting, insecticide-treated bed net, distributing it, and educating communities on its use.

Get started today! Send a net. Save a life. Together we can cover a continent.

A special day for those at the Premiere Of Warners Bros., Pictures’ ‘To The Artic 3D‘ at the California Science Center Imax Theater on April 15, 2012 in Los Angeles, California.

In attendance on the blue carpet, Producer Greg MacGillivray, Producer Shaun MacGillivray, Producer Tom Campion, Actress Kendra Wilkinson along with her  husband Hank Baskett and son Henry Wilkinson, Actress Kristin Bauer, Actress Camille Schroder, with her dad, actor Rick Schroder and sister Faith Anne Schroder , Actress Marisa Coughlan and daughter, Merritt Coughlan

The stunning film tells the intimate story of a mother polar bear and her cubs as they navigate the changing Arctic wilderness they call home – and marks the first time a polar bear has been tracked and filmed for five consecutive days!

A MacGillivray Freeman Film from Warner Bros. Pictures and IMAX® Filmed Entertainment, and the first film presentation of One World One Ocean – a massive for-purpose media campaign to help restore the world’s ocean.

Narrator for the film is Oscar winner, Meryl Streep, who had already narrated two previous MacGillivray Freeman Films.

Paul McCartney‘s provided the  music to the film. Among the songs heard in the film are “Little Willow,” “I’m Carrying,” “Mr. Bellamy” and “Calico Skies.”

Greg MacGillivray and his wife Barbara  co-founded the MacGillivray Freeman Films Educational Foundation, which aims to contribute to the conservation of natural and cultural resources through giant screen films and companion educational programming.  It is truly a family affair, their daughter Megan, a writer and chef, heads up the film company’s social media efforts.  And of course their son Shaun, produced the film, this it the second film that Shaun has produced for MacGillivray Freeman, his first was “Grand Canyon Adventure,”

What you will enjoy in this film, is the most up-close-and-personal experience you’ll have with polar bears aside from traveling up to the Arctic yourself!   Captivating, adventurous and intimate footage brings moviegoers up close and personal with this family’s struggle to survive in a frigid environment of melting ice, immense glaciers, spectacular waterfalls, and majestic snow-bound peaks.

YHL Guest host to cover the film was Actor Zach Callison. Zach’s review of the film.

“This film is an excellent learning tool for all ages about the results of the human race’s neglect in caring for our earth. The director Greg MacGillivray said that the film took six years to complete and they only found the polar bear family on their last expedition. My favorite part had to be the walruses. They are funny creatures and were not fond of the camera man. You have to see the film to understand what I mean.”
