Actors James Preston, Lori Loughlin, and Reid Ewing attended the St. Bernard project event at Tesla Motors in Los Angeles to support their efforts on rebuilding homes in New Orleans where Katrina hit.

The mission of the St. Bernard Project is to create housing opportunities so that Hurricane Katrina survivors can return to their homes and communities. The St. Bernard Project, a nonprofit, community-based organization carries out its mission through three primary programs: Rebuilding Program, Center for Wellness and Mental Health andOpportunity Housing Program.

Most if not all of you had no idea that James Dean had a boyfriend. Bill Bast the gentleman obviously on the left of Sir Ian Mckellen was Dean’s longest relationship. The secret romance went on for 5 years. Back then you had to really hide your sexuality and not show any emotion towards someone of the same sex in public, especially if that someone was a “Straight” movie star such as Dean.

Bill wrote a book about his relationship with Dean titled “Surviving James Dean“. I need to read it. Sounds very interesting. You can read more about Bill Bast on his website http://members.authorsguild.net/williambast/
