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!
