Celebrity Endorsements: November 2009 Archives

Sarah Jessica Parker

The President's Committee on Arts and Humanities just got a little more fashionable.  Sarah Jessica Parker and Vogue editor Anna Wintour are new members of the Committee.

Other celebs just named to the Committee are Forrest Whitaker, Alfre Woodard, Edward Norton and Yo-Yo Ma.

According to its website, the Committee works with "the three primary cultural agencies - National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH), Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) - to initiate and support key programs; to recognize excellence in the fields of arts and humanities; and to encourage private-public partnerships around those disciplines." 

The Committee was established in 1982.

Nicole Kidman testified before before the House Foreign Relations Subcommittee on Wednesday.  She asked for $1 billion to help combat violence against women around the world.

Ms. Kidman wore a black pant suit, nutral makeup and her hair styled in large, loose curls.
