The Boy and Girls CLub in Los Angeles recently held a photo call for its celebrity spokepeople which included Denzel Washington, Ashanti, Ne-Yo, Mario Lopez, Magic Johnson, Shaquille O’Neal, Smokey Robinson and Jennifer Lopez. 

Jennifer Lopez (who grew up performing at the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club in the Bronx) was dressed in head-to-toe Lanvin and laughed it up with Ashanti.

It's great to see so many super famous celebs reaching back and giving their time and support to kids today.

Much like Denzel Washington, many of the celebs participated in various programs while growing up.  Mario Lopez was a wrestler at the Chulo Vista Boys and Girls Club.  Also, Sugar Ray Leonard, Jackie Joyner-Kersee, Martin Sheen, Courtney B. Vance and Cuba Gooding Jr. participated in the photo call.

Ashanti and Kerry look fab together.

Fabness of celebs giving back.

And on Broadway......

We told you previously that Halle Berry had landed a role on Broadway, but she pulled out of the play a few months ago as a result of her custody battle.  Now it has been announced that fab chick Angela Bassett is headed to Broadway to replace Halle.

Angela Bassett is replacing Halle in the Broadway production of "The Mountaintop," which also stars Samuel L. Jackson as civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.  Angela will now play the role of a mysterious maid named Camae who visits King at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis the night before his 1968 assassination.

Angela starts her performances of the Katori Hall written-play in September at the Bernard B Jacobs Theatre, with an official opening set for Oct. 13.
