Year: 2010

This fortnight, Ali Larter has been the most random – and randomly charitable – person in recorded history.

First, she’s selling off autographed shoes to help women with cancer as part of ‘Hero in Heels’s summer auction.

Then she’s off encouraging inner city kids to start or improve high school gardens – and appreciate the power of compost – as part of the Environmental Media Association’s “Yes to Carrots Garden Challenge” in Venice, California.

Then in a break from all that charity work, she’s off winning an MTV Movie Award for Best Fight in Obsessed.

As if that wasn’t honour enough, she then gets invited by the United Nations Foundation (as “an actress and women’s health advocate“) to go to the Women Deliver Conference in Washington DC (with her mum):

Said conference, which focused on global and maternal and reproductive health, managed to get Melinda Gates to cough up $1.5 billion to help women around the world.

That was $1.5 BILLION in case you missed it.

Our Ali, who ironically for a women’s health advocate, had a cold at the time, says:

How can you create the life of your dreams if you can’t plan your own family? Hundreds of thousands of women don’t have access to contraceptives… Women’s rights are human rights

But despite all that and proudly declaring herself a feminist (“I am just a woman who feels a sense of responsibility to help other girls and women”), she still managed to annoy Ms Magazine, by saying she was proud to be a Mrs. You can’t win them all, huh?

Nevertheless, did you really expect her to end the conference without doing something random? Like singing Aretha Franklin’s “(You Make me Feel Like) A Natural Woman” with special assistant to the president Gayle Smith, South African singer Yvonne Chaka Chaka and CNN’s Wolf Blitzer, for example. Of course not:
