Whether you realize it or not, you've seen the beautiful and meaningful "Until There's A Cure" bracelets on stars like Jessica Alba, Mandy Moore, Alan Cumming, Kerry Walsh, and of course, Kevin Bacon.

Tim Gunn is hosting a fashion show called Fashion Forward to benefit the Gay Men's Health Crisis (GMHC). Could he get any lovelier? We love you, Tim Gunn.

Fashion Forward will take place Monday, November 10, from 7-10pm at Skylight Studios in New York City.

The fashion community has always been a champion of HIV and AIDS research and support. Fashion Forward's hosts will include Tim Gunn, Betsey Johnson, Derek Lam, Italo Zucchelli, John Bartlett, and Michael Kors, and the designers will be Ports 1961 by Tia Cibani, Michael Bastian, Betsey Johnson, Charles Nolan, and John Varvatos. That's quite a lineup!

You can purchase tickets to the event online here. General admission is $100.00, reserved seating is $250.00, and the VIP front row is a $500.00 ticket. Go if you have the cash, it's for a great cause and promises to be star-studded and fashion-fabulous!

Kelly Roland looks picture perfect in this eye popping dress by Ralph Lauren at Alicia Key's party, the Black Ball UK in London, which benefited the "Keep a Child Alive" HIV/AIDS charity.

Though this dress is quiet fancy here, we just couldn't help ourselves. Kelly looks gorgeous in the color and we can never, ever, ever get enough of Ralph Lauren's simple yet elegant clothes. To us, Ralph Lauren clothes are like sugar because you can mix it into anything you want. This dress would look equally as good with a pair of jeweled flats in St. Tropez. Fan.tas.tic.

And there's the always beautiful Alicia, seemingly dressed down at her own event but plugging her Obama support nontheless. Go B.O.!

Ouch. Supermodel or not, you hock a loogie on a cop at Heathrow, you have to deal with some ugly fallout. Campbell -- who was slated to emcee a portion of Nelson Mandela's 90th birthday concert -- was pulled when the legendary activist figure personally requested that she not be allowed to take the stage in London's Hyde Park.

We didn't know this, but apparently the supermodel was wearing a ball cap with '46664' (as in 46664 Concerts) embroidered on it at the time of her loogie arrest. That also happens to be the prison ID# Mandela wore for his 27 years on the inside.

The relationship between the supermodel and the human rights legend goes back almost a decade. Most recently, Mandela counseled Naomi for her anger problem after the 2006 cell phone incident. According to 46664 Concerts, Naomi was set to play "an integral" part in the festivities -- instead, she'll be watching from the nosebleeds.

One of the most successful campaigns in the beauty world is M.A.C's Viva Glam campaign. When you purchase Viva Glam products at M.A.C., 100 percent of the sales go towards M.A.C.'s AIDS Fund, which raises money to fight HIV and AIDS globally. This Fall M.A.C. has reached an incredible milestone by raising $100 million dollars. This milestone has been 13 years in the making and M.A.C will continue to raise money as they set their next goal.

Aside from having great Viva Glam products to purchase, celebrities have lent their fame to campaign as well. In the past Viva Glam spokespersons have been Ru Paul (the first spokesperson), Eve, Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Missy Elliot, and many more. The next spokesperson will be none other than singer Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson.

Viva Glam products are for sale year round, so head to your M.A.C counter and support a good cause.
