“When Jane Fonda calls, you show up,” explained John Legend, tickling the ivories in front of a large crowd of glittery art lovers, environmentalists and celebs. “Wouldn’t you?”
The large artist, art collector and celeb crowd mingling in the white chandelier-strewn tent behind Gagosian Gallery made it pretty clear they not only would, but did. Fonda, along with gallerist Larry Gagosian and Christie’s, organized the evening, titled “Art For a Safe and Healthy California” — an art sale to support California’s grassroots fight against Big Oil, in an attempt to protect neighborhoods from toxic oil drilling. With so many years of activism and fundraising dedicated to feminist, pacifist and environmental issues — organizing, fundraising, holding benefits, walkouts, protests, not to mention getting arrested four times — Jane Fonda is now going up against Big Oil.
Nothing the lifelong rights fighter can’t handle, of course.

Brad Pitt is trading houses with Aileen Getty. The month after Et exclusively reported that Pitt sold his Los Feliz, California, home in an off-market deal, Et confirms that the 65-year-old oil heiress was the purchaser of the property.
Not only that, but now Et has learned that, after selling his house, Pitt, 59, has purchased Getty’s property in the same area for $5.5 million.
Getty paid $33 million for Pitt’s more than 2-acre compound that features multiple parcels of land with five homes, according to Dirt. The actor purchased the property’s main house from Cassandra Peterson for $1.7 million in 1994.
Pitt once shared the home with his ex, Angelina Jolie, and their six children: Maddox, 21, Pax, 19, Zahara, 18, Shiloh, 16, Vivienne, 14, and Knox, 14.
As for Getty, when she sold her home, she made over $1 million in the deal, as she purchased the property from Maroon 5’s James Valentine for $4.1 in 2019, the outlet reports.

“I think storytelling is really our hope because there is such divisiveness right now in the world. And, I think that stories enable us to hear each other and see different sides of an experience,” documentarian Rory Kennedy told Variety at the 2019 Student Academy Awards on Thursday at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
Kennedy was one of the five presenters for this year’s Student Academy Awards — along with Melina Matsoukas, Gregory Nava, Phil Lord and Chris Miller — which honored 16 student winners from colleges and universities around the world.
While the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has existed since 1929, the student academy wasn’t founded until 1972 in an effort to encourage student filmmakers while acknowledging them for telling stories that do more than just entertain. Robert Zemeckis, Spike Lee and Patricia Riggen were past Student Academy Award recipients.
