Lo from 'The Hills' Does Good



See not everyone on ‘The Hills’ has to be completely empty and shallow. Lo Bosworth (LC’s best friend) addressed and read to students at Warren Lane Elementary (in Inglewood) for the Stephanie Sparks Hope Foundation Project, Read for HOPE. I love, love, love, love it when we’re out there in schools reading to the kids. Skeptics I know what you’re thinking – but I don’t think this was done for publicity. I think Lo and this organization were actually doing this for the good of the children. (The Foundation has a celebrity tour that goes around and reads at different schools. Eva Mendes and Nia Long have both participated in the project as well.) I commend her for her good doing. It’s better than starting a clothing line or taking half naked pictures. There’s nothing wrong with a clothing line but we’ve got to use power and fame for good when we get it. Not just to become more famous…

The Stephanie Sparks Hope Foundation was “established to promote reading and literacy to all children.” Since 2003, when Project Read for HOPE was created, over 70,000 books have been donated to schools. (45,000 of them donated this year alone)
