| Keri Hilson 'Pretty Girl Rocks' For Troops At 'VH1 Divas' - MTV Posted: 05 Dec 2010 07:38 PM PST Armed with her girl-power single "Pretty Girl Rock," Keri Hilson rocked members of the U.S. Armed Forces at the "VH1 Divas Salute the Troops" event. Decked out in a gold bustier, high-waisted pants and a fringe-laden jacket, Hilson brought her saucy, sexpot swagger to the stage. Flanked by four back-up dancers in stylized military jackets that showed a lot of leg, the ladies oozed sassy sexuality as the Atlanta songstress swiveled her hips and cooed, the mass of concertgoers cheering her on.

After giving the soldiers a fun show, Hilson gave a shout-out to the service members, thanking them for protecting Americans at home and abroad. "You guys are so beautiful. I just want to say thank you so much because if it wasn't for each and every one of you, we could not be here and have the freedom to do what we do," she said. Hilson reveled in that freedom by putting in work through the event. In addition to her solo set, Hilson got it started with her fellow Divas several times throughout the night. She joined Katy Perry and Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles for a rousing, retro opening number, and teamed up with Nettles once again for a rendition of soul great Aretha Franklin's 1968 anthem "Think." The songbird later broke down her "Divas" experience to reporters, and said participating in the event was "incredible." "I'm in great company with past Divas, and not only is it about me being here, it's also about what we're doing here, supporting the troops. I took pictures with guys yesterday ... and one of them just said, 'I just want to thank you for coming. Thank you for doing this. Not many people do this and take time out of their schedule to do something like this," she explained. "It's been not only enlightening, it's been very fulfilling. I'm very happy to be here."

| Girl Scouts raise money for trip - SW Iowa News Posted: 10 Dec 2010 10:09 PM PST Seven local Girl Scouts are raising money to take an educational trip to Europe next July. Girl Scout Troop No. 377 will hold a pancake feed and auction Saturday, Dec. 18, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Broadway United Methodist Church, First Street and Broadway, to help the girls with the cost. The event will feature a pancake feed, bake sale, silent auction and live auction, said Suzie Bruner, troop leader. Auction items will include a small grill, cedar chest, Girl Scout quilt sewn by a Scout's mother, fishing pole, skateboard deck, painting and baskets made by the girls. The live auction will be called by retired auctioneer George DeWitt. The silent auction will offer many gift certificates. "We would like to thank all the businesses and others that have helped support us," she said. Girl Scouts offers the girls the opportunity to build confidence to help them become adults, Bruner said. The 17-day trip would include stops in London; Paris; Amsterdam; Venice, Italy; Sweden; and other destinations. The visit would include opportunities for leadership development, managing money and building an understanding of people in other cultures. The girls include Renae Williby, Angela Sellers, Jordan Brittain, Morgan Pleiss, Rebecca Barker, Ronette Bruner and Taylor Underwood. They want to go before the oldest one graduates from high school, she said. "These girls have grown up together, and they've taken on the responsibilities of Girl Scouts since Daisies," Bruner said. "They're trying to raise enough money to go on this trip as their last thing together." The trip is expected to cost at least $4,500 per person, she said. "They had to earn badges and stuff to be able to go," Bruner said.They have worked on Budgeting, Life Skills, Travel, Understanding Yourself and Others, Building a Better Future and History badges, among others, she said. "These girls believe in the three C's: Courage, confidence and character," she said. The girls will meet other Girl Scouts from Iowa and take their journey with them, Bruner said.
