Positioned as a “party with a purpose”, the Oscars viewing and after-party, benefiting the Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation and Olivia Newton John’s Cancer and Wellness Centre, will bring together stars from film, TV, music, sports and fashion to celebrate the worlds of celebrity and charity.

The evening, hosted by Gibbons, Newton John and Foster, will feature a ten-course meal with signature cocktails catered by Mr. Chow; a Glam.com VIP Touch Up Lounge with Ken Paves sponsored by AVEENO® NOURISH+ Hair Care Collection; a live auction featuring one-of-a kind items and travel packages; musical performances by Grammy Award winning R&B songstress Thelma Houston, David Foster protégé and YouTube phenomenon, Charice Pempengco as well as other surprise musical guests.

In addition to celebrating the 81st Academy Awards, Leeza Gibbons Oscar Night at Mr. Chow will applaud some of Hollywood’s celebrity philanthropists, honoring them as the evening’s Ambassadors of Change. These stars have lead by example and use their high-profile names for the greater good in a time when volunteerism is needed more than ever. The Ambassadors of Change include: Laila Ali, Jessica Biel, Cindy Crawford, John Paul Dejoria, Fran Drescher, Hilary Duff, David Foster, Leeza Gibbons, Melissa Gilbert, Erin Gray, Tony Hawk, Slash & Perla Hudson, Larry King, Ali Landry, Mario Lopez, Daryl McDaniels, Olivia Newton-John, Holly Robinson & Rodney Peete, Dr. Phil & Robin McGraw, Jane Seymour, Amy Smart and many others.
