Please join us in wishing Charisma a very happy 42nd birthday! In honor of Charisma today, please consider contributing to one of the organizations she supports.
The Ronan Thompson Foundation
The Ronan Thompson Foundation is a non-profit 501(c) 3 organization dedicated to finding a cure for neuroblastoma, a form of childhood cancer. We are dedicated to funding research, both traditional and non-traditional, to reduce the number of children affected by this disease and its mortality threshold.
The Thirst Project
One well can provide up to 500 people with clean water indefinitely. Once wells are completed, we form a water committee within each community that is educated about the importance of hand-washing and proper sanitization and is responsible for ensuring that the well stays clean and maintained. When you bring safe water into a community, disease immediately drops by 80%! Child mortality drops by nearly 99% almost overnight! The solution is too simple and the victory points are too easily attainable for us to continue to ignore the #1 killer of children globally.
GROOBS Shoes
For every pair of GROOBS you buy, we will give a new pair of GROOBS to someone in need………….and we’re just getting started. In addition to sending a new pair of shoes to a needy individual, you will also get to pick a charity of YOUR CHOICE to send 50% of the proceeds to your chosen charity. For short and to change the meaning of BOGO, we call it “BOGO FIVE O” – Buy One Give One AND 50% of the proceeds will be sent to a charity of YOUR choosing! You pick the charity that you are passionate about.

Lying Game Season 2: Charisma Carpenter’s Mystery Mom Is Out for ‘Revenge’ — But Why?
Now that she’s officially a full-fledged series regular (the deal was finalized this week!), Charisma Carpenter, like the rest of us, is just trying to figure out what’s really going on with her still-mysterious Lying Game character. Is Annie Rebecca as evil as she seems? Maybe she’s just misunderstood? And is it possible that she’s not actually favoring one devious daughter over the other?
The producers haven’t yet revealed everything to Carpenter, but she’s certain of one thing: Rebecca is getting her Emily Thorne on in a major way.
“I suspect [her agenda is] revenge,” the actress shared with TVLine at Tuesday’s Thirst Gala in Los Angeles. “Rebecca’s upset from the early years. She flowered and bloomed and came into her own. She found confidence. Now, she’s back to wreak havoc on those that had made her life so hard.”
So, perhaps Rebecca, not unlike her kindred spirit over on Revenge, is at least somewhat in the right? Carpenter says she thinks so. “If there isn’t an element of victimhood, it would be hard to relate to her,” she explained. “Nobody likes coldblooded. There has to be a good reason [for her behavior]. But we don’t know exactly what was done to her” — other than that it’s “related to the fact that Rebecca was forced to give up the twins,” Carpenter teased.
Speaking of the kiddos, it seems as though Carpenter’s mother scorned has unjustifiably taken one daughter under her wing — the evilish Sutton — while naïve Emma remains their unknowing victim.
Carpenter conceded that while it may feel like “she’s ganging up on Emma,” things are probably not what they seem. “She could be playing Sutton.” Added the actress with a laugh, “I just don’t feel that she’s the best mom ever.”
Charisma attended the 3rd annual Thirst Project Gala where she presented the Vision Award.
