Gwyneth Paltrow Sings for HOPE

Gwyneth Paltrow and designer pal Stella McCartney spice up the The HOPE Foundation Benefit Evening on Thursday held at Ronnie Scott’s jazz bar, Soho, London. (Gwyn is wearing Stella McCartney, of course.)

The event hoped to reach in excess of $1,000,000 for the charity in an auction where the guests bid for the celebrity of their choice to serenade them from the stage. Gwyn, 35, began shyly, according to eyewitnesses, “but soon got into the swing of it”.

HOPING stands for Hope and Optimism for Palestinians In the Next Generation. HOPING maintains a small scale administrative set-up in order to ensure that a large majority of funds we raise are given directly to community projects in refugee camps working with children.

Last year’s Karaoke with the Stars raised an amazing $850,000 for the foundation.
