Hollywood’s newest rich kid is doing good by talking to Nicole.

Nicole joins celeb advisory board of DoSomething…we love Andrew Shue, btw! (He started the charity! viva Melrose Place!)

Nicole hosted an event with Melinda Doolittle and Sec. of Education of US Margaret
Spellings in NY. Source

She also interviewed Melinda Doolittle:

Nicole calls her a “World Idol” for her malaria work…(we think she should have been the American Idol, too! She rocks!)

Nicole created this star made with all Swarovski crystals…it’s stunning! It will be auctioned on Ebay as part of her duties with Starlight Starbright and hang on the lovely Rockefeller Center tree in NYC.

6 degrees is a cute magazine (www.sixdegreesmag.com) that had an article on Nicole this month.

She says her parents didn’t let her watch the news growing up– now look at her! “I’d used to sneakily flip on CNN like it was an R-rated movie. The Gulf War, the Live from Baghdad days– that was what piqued my interest in journalism.” She says, “It’s not my goal to be a superstar; I want to do good consistent work. My work is what should speak for my career and guide me to the future.” (We think she’s already a superstar!)

We are loving this new ranking site, rateitall!

Nicole made the annual 21 Principles of Iconic Style issue of Men’s Health out with Jamie Foxx and Andy Samberg on the duel-cover fatty September edition. She talks about how men should have style and class. She says, “Chivalry is not charismatic if it’s forced.”

Nicole isn’t a drama queen like so many other young women in the news. She says, “Drama is a big turnoff for me– in a bedroom, in an office, or in a restaurant. I don’t want a guy to lose his cool.”

Nicole looks gorgeous and sophisticated photographed in front of an old bookcase. She says, “Intelligence is attractive, but so is life experience. You can’t amass it just by reading a ton of books. But you can live a lot of life in a short time. Travel. Talk to everyone. Collect adventures, and use them to understand the world. That’s how you learn to treat people well. And that’s sexy.”

Her thoughts on travel have already inspired men.

Bighearted charity supporter Nicole Lapin’s name was part of the “Keep a Breast” Susan G. Komen for the Cure fundraiser in Atlanta. What a nice thing to be part of, right? Well, CNN didn’t think so. When CNN saw Nicole’s name attached to the event they immediately put a stop to it.

According to Seriouslyomg.com, several Atlanta journalists were getting casts made of their breasts for an auction at the event and Lapin was not one of them, but that didn’t stop CNN from calling the publicist of the event and telling them to remove Lapin’s name, “I feel like I should still be sitting in a corner with a dunce cap on,” the publicist said. “Apparently, this was not run by certain people at CNN, and I was informed that this was not something CNN anchors would ever participate in.”

A CNN anchor wanting to be part of a good cause, oh the shame, CNN wouldn’t want that. CNN released the following, and stupid, statement regarding the event, “Things like this have to be approved,” Martin said. “This wasn’t. There was a miscommunication. Nicole was aware of the event, but it was not on her calendar. Susan G. Komen is a great foundation. But if our talent is involved or if their name is being used in connection to an outside event, we need to know about it.”

Why didn’t they just approve it then? Nicole, who is also involved with the Starlight Starbright children’s foundation, has supported Susan G. Komen in the past and should be allowed to continue to do so.

Looks like online news with NL is the way to go.

We aren’t the only ones who think so.

Here’s another.

And, yet another.

Nicole was just interviewed about the future of news. She also calls herself a “Mac girl”!

Others agree with Nicole’s thoughts on Citizen Journalism.

We were searching high and low for this– and viola here is a lovely feature on NL.

Apparently viewers think Nicole rocks as much as her interviews.

The Wired Magazine title: “This is CNN?!”

The text said “Sure, she can pass for Lindsay Lohan, but Nicole Lapin isn’t just a pretty face behind a news desk”

Nicole was asked, “What’s the best part of your job?” She responded, “It’s fast-paced and requires a lot of quick thinking. Anchoring four hours a day, solo, you have to know your stuff. But I do. I’m a real geek.”

Nicole says her favorite gadget is her white blackberry pearl. She says, “It might as well be sutured to my hand. My friends want to stage an intervention.”

Wired Magazine

Nicole just launched a new interview series on CNN called Young People who Rock. These are people under 30 who are changing the world with what they do, whether they’re CEOs or athletes, entrepreneurs, whatever – they’re people that are awesome at what they do on a global scale. Check out one of her findings, Joanna Alberti.

Red Carpet

Wearing a pretty black dress, cute shoes, and her gorgeous brunette hair, Nicole Lapin looked stunning as she walked the red carpet at Starlight Starbright’s “A Stellar Night” Gala.

Inside The Event

Nicole Lapin is the national spokesperson for Starlight Starbright with Jamie Lee Curtis. She and Jamie Lee hosted the Gala at the Beverly Hilton. Here are some shots of Nicole speaking at the event. Nicole is also responsible for chats with kids known as “Being Smart is Cool,” inspiring Starlight Starbright children to study and do well in school. It was a wonderful event with other important people as well. Other celebrities that were there due to their generous help were Jamie Lee Curtis, Queen Latifah, Heather Mills, Deborah Gibson, Kristy Frank, and Dave Koz.

In the VIP Room

Here’s Nicole with Michael Jackson, one of the many Starlight Starbright teens that benefit from the organization. He is one of the many teens that Nicole talks to online.

Starlight Starbright spokesperson, Nicole Lapin, and other celebrities who are also a big part of Starlight – Starpower Group member Kristy Frank, fellow spokesperson Jamie Lee Curtis, and Dave Koz, who was honored that evening for 15 years of dedicated support for Starlight Starbright.

Here are a couple of shots of Nicole checking out some charitable events. She visited the benefit for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation hosted at the Lisa Kline boutique opening.

Apparently Nicole’s been pushing this thing about “Being Smart is Cool.” For the past couple of months she’s been doing chats with kids associated with the Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation. And CNN’s also updated her bio to show that she is the ambassador for Starlight Starbright. Go Nicole!
