Denise went to the Shooting Star gala last night and really enjoyed the night. In the programme there was a list of messages from those stars who were unable to perform or attend the event. There’s a quote from REG in there:

“Best wishes for a wonderfully successful evening, hope you raise lots & lots of money, sorry I can’t be with you. – Richard E Grant”

There was also details of artwork provided by celebrities on the theme of a Shooting Star which are being auctioned off for the charity. The blurb to Richard’s artwork states:

“This artwork has been painted and donated by Richard E. Grant. A Patron of Shooting Star Hospice for Children and accomplished actor. Although unable to take part in the Gala, Richard sent his best wishes for success.

This was painted using acrylic paints on a 5 inch by 7 inch canvas board.”

Thanks heaps to Denise for the report.
