Ryan Reynolds joined his friend Michael J. Fox on Saturday night for the annual A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Cure Parkinson's benefit in NYC. Scarlett Johansson was by Ryan's side for last year's event, but this time Ryan had ladies like Rachael Ray and Julianne Moore keeping him company. Michael was the man of the evening, and he even entertained the crowd on stage with Steven Tyler. Ryan recently earned accolades for his sexy physique, but he also shows his big heart with his support of Parkinson's research.

The Emmy Parties Continue All Around LA After the Show

PopSugar — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 12:30:29 -0700

Lots of celebs had fun at the Emmy Awards last night, and the good times continued around LA with various afterparties. The HBO bash brought out the stars of Entourage, with Jerry Ferrara cuddling up to girlfriend Jamie-Lynn Sigler as AnnaLynne McCord smiled for the cameras. January Jones struck a pose on ET's red carpet, and inside big winners Jon Cryer and Toni Collette chatted with their newly-acquired gold. The exclusive Governor's Party was the destination of Mariska Hargitay, Jennifer Westfeldt and Jon Hamm, who wasn't home to see all the crazy moments from the latest episode of Best Drama Mad Men.

Blake Lively picked another low-cut dress to mix and mingle at the HBO event, where Big Love's Ginnifer Goodwin and Chloe Sevigny appeared to be having fun together. Over at the Governor's Ball, Andy Samberg left girlfriend Joanna Newsom's side for a moment to pose next to big man of the night Neil Patrick Harris. Alec Baldwin proudly showed off his statue, and Debra Messing gave a big bear hug to pal Mary-Louise Parker. Kellan Lutz was one of the lone Twilighters making the social rounds, taking a little break from working with Robert Pattinson and the gang up in Vancouver to hit the ET bash.

Michael J. Fox Tells Ryan Reynolds What Marriage Is All About

Molly — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 11:30:15 -0800

Ryan Reynolds stopped by The Rachel Ray Show today to talk about running the marathon for a cause so close to his heart. He didn't dish on Scarlett, but the newlywed looked fantastic and continued to charm with his personality. While on air, he was surprised by Michael J. Fox, who had some really sweet things to say about Ryan and some sage marriage advice to impart to his younger friend. Here are highlights:

Michael's marriage advice for Ryan: "Just remember this, if a man says something in the forest and his wife isn't there to hear him - he's still wrong!"
Michael on Ryan's support: "It means a lot and I'm humbled by you connecting your feelings for your father and your affection for him, and your desire to maybe make his life better and make life better for others in the situation. I'm humbled to even associate that with the work that we do."
Ryan on the marathon: "I see this Team Fox banner up ahead, and I look to my left and there I saw Michael. My dad, for I think fairly obvious reasons, couldn't be there at the marathon. I would have loved him to be there, but Michael really was a kind of surrogate for that for me, and to just high-five him and have that moment really carried me through. I mean, I said that I gained 15 pounds in goosebumps alone, and I just off I went and finished strong."

It sounds like Ryan and Michael have a lot of mutual respect and admiration for each other as they continue to work toward a cure for Parkinson's.

A Funny Thing Happened on Ryan and Scarlett's Way to the Benefit

Molly — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 06:00:00 -0800

Mrs. and Mr. Ryan Reynolds hit the red carpet separately at the A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To Cure Parkinson's benefit for the Michael J. Fox Foundation in NYC last night. While it may not have been the evening where Ryan and Scarlett finally posed together, they both looked fantastic out to support the cause. Ryan did have some photo partners, however, including the man of the night Michael J. Fox and his wife Tracy Pollan. Ryan ran the NYC Marathon last Sunday to benefit the foundation, which is close to his heart due to his father's Parkinson's diagnosis. As two of the big celebrity Obama supporters, Ryan and Scarlett have quite a few things to celebrate this week - now if only we could ever actually see them do it side by side.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Welcomes New Queen: Madonna

Molly — Tue, 11 Mar 2008 00:22:42 -0700

The Waldorf-Astoria in NYC rocked last night to welcome the newest class of inductees into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Madonna looked happy to accept the honor and while Guy Ritchie wasn't around, her Hard Candy collaborator Justin Timberlake was there to help celebrate. Fellow inductees include John Mellencamp and Leonard Cohen. Madonna didn't sing, but she did ask Iggy Pop to come and play which he did with no shirt (of course). On stage Madonna said, "Thirty-five years later, people are still encouraging me to believe in my dreams. What more could I ask for?" While Justin took a shot at a certain ex, "The world is full of Madonna wannabes. I might have even dated a couple, but there is truly only one Madonna." Seems a little unnecessary of JT, but congrats to all the new Rock and Roll Hall of Famers!

In typical Madonna fashion she kept things risqué even without any racy performance - she joked on stage about telling JT to drop his pants to give him a B12 shot and her past drug use including "smoking a joint" when she met her publicist Liz Rosenberg and taking ecstasy with a music exec after giving him her first demo. Yeah, I don't think 50's going to slow her down any at all.

A Funny Thing Happened With Michael J., Lance & John

Molly — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 00:30:11 -0800

Michael J. Fox stole the show, but he wasn't the only big name out at the A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson's event on Saturday night in NYC. John Mayer rocked out on stage in his velvet suit while Lance kept his vocal stylings to himself. He also had no little blondes on his arm, though rumor has it that his most recent lady friend isn't an Olsen after all. It looks like all the boys had a blast together at the event and, golf claps, out to support an excellent cause.

Celebs Come Out to Support Muhammad Ali and Fight Parkinson's

PopSugar — Wed, 13 Jun 2007 15:33:28 -0700

Heidi, Mariah and Michael J. Fox were all on hand for the opening night of the Muhammad Ali Exhibition in NYC this week. The exhibition's proceeds will go towards the Michael J Fox Foundation for Parkinson's which Ali suffers from as well. Mariah came out of nowhere last week but she's back and she's even sporting the shades indoors. Not sure if that's really necessary but all that really matters is that they raised lots of cash for this good cause!

Michael J Fox Rocks it Out

PopSugar — Mon, 13 Nov 2006 12:40:04 -0800

Michael J Fox showed off his skills on the guitar this weekend at A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to Cure Parkinson's 2006 Benefit. So cute - reminds us of his days on stage at Hill Valley's High School dance in Back to the Future. Axl Rose and Sheryl Crow also took the stage with Michael at the Beatles-themed fundraiser, bringing in more than $5 million for his foundation. I would have never figured Axl to be part of this crowd but apparently it was a no brainer for him to be there. People reports:

Axl Rose, a surprise guest, took the stage at the Waldorf-Astoria Ballroom to sing McCartney's "Live and Let Die." Why the performance? "Michael had asked," Rose told PEOPLE. "We actually used a sample of Michael J. Fox from (his film) Casualties of War in one of our songs that will be on the new album. So I felt, one, I've always been a fan of his. And I also feel for the guy and his situation. I'm for stem-cell research, so I just thought it would be wrong not for me to come when I was asked."

Muhammad Ali, Famke Janssen, Ryan Reynolds, Susan Sarandon, Denis Leary and Rob Thomas were all at the event as well. More pics so read more

The Cast of Scrubs Put on Their Poker Faces

PopSugar — Fri, 09 May 2008 12:30:00 -0700

The cast of Scrubs had a lot to celebrate last night after their fairy-tale season finale, but instead of poppin' champagne, they opted to try their skills at the poker table at the the Michael J. Fox Foundation For Parkinson's Research Fundraiser. Sarah Chalke looked lovely on scruffy Zach's arm while CaCee Cobb just looked happy to be with her man Donald Faison. Seems like a good time was had by all, but the real question is whether or not Zach tried to recruit a few of his friends to do a little lip syncing for the video he's directing after all the gambling fun.

More pics including Teri Hatcher, Julie Bowen, and Holly Robinson Peete, so just read more.
