Thanks for sharing :D the pictures are beautiful...
He looks quite happy... :wub:
(But what happended to his left thumb? :blink: a little pixel-problem of the camera or did someone prick him... (-> referring to the first pic with him and Madonna))
By the way:
If he is in NY right now, and suposed to be in London on Sunday, I hope he is collecting "miles"... Thinking about his global activities during the last month I guess he must have allready earned a free flight to Hawai'I... :bigwink:

Jesse, thanks for posting the pictures of him.
He looks so suave, handsome and just gorgeous. Nice to see him involved in more charity work. He is the best ambassador we can have on good will. You know when he speaks he is sincere in his words and actions, and its no political correct thing for him to do. He does it where it should come from - his heart - God Bless Him, and I thank God for giving us such good people like him in our world we can be so cynical.

I love the second picture of him with Madonna. He looks so serious and concerned, and love the hand holding that he does - a sure sign of a person with a warm and caring heart.

:woot: Thank you nahla and mata. :friends:
Orlando is looking so much more relaxed and much happier now. :D
Something I've noticed here is Gwyneth's bracelet - the one with the Amethyst stones. WOW! I LOVE amethyst, that bracelet is incredible...I want one! However, I bet that cost a pretty penny! :wacko:
ETA: Just showed my husband the bracelet..he walked off in nervous hysterical laughter!
Well...its was worth a mention! :lol:

Thanks for the pictures, everyone! I was just looking at images from this very event (on another site) this morning. I was admiring Madge and Lola, Drew and Jason, Gavin and Gwen ...had no idea Orlando was there as well!
Guess that was the hot ticket that night. Shoot, if I had known I'd have gone myself! I'm just down the street, afterall ;).

Isn't that gorgeous? I love amethyst as well, only have one piece a necklace, but also have some "raw" amethyst that is gorgeous.

Thank you for the pix. He is looking relaxed and comfortable. Well except for that blood on his thumb. I think he's been nipping at it again.
