In a video appeal, Osbourne says, "I'm here to ask for your much needed help. I've been a supporter of the Rock and Wrap It Up! charity for many years.

Robert Pattinson put his "Twilight" co-star Taylor Lautner through hell on the set of upcoming sequel "The Twilight Saga's Eclipse" - by forgetting his dialog on purpose to keep the actor stripped down. Lautner appears in the nude in a scene for the third film in the vampire franchise and was forced to endure freezing wet conditions to complete the clip.

But Reilly admits what was meant to be a sexy scene was far from steamy because Aniston insisted on covering up from head-to-toe and using a prop cushion to ensure the stars didn't get too close for comfort. He says, "It's all dark and she's a little tense 'cause a sex scene is going to happen."
