“Summit on the Summit: Kilimanjaro” doesn’t premiere on MTV until Sunday at 9 p.m. ET, but you can get a sneak peek of the documentary, which follows Kenna and his team’s treacherous trek up Africa’s highest mountain, right now. In February, Kenna, along with fellow musicians Lupe Fiasco and Santigold, actors Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch and Isabel Lucas, and a team of scientists and experienced mountain guides, climbed to the peak of Kilimanjaro — some 19,000 feet above sea level — with the goal of raising awareness about the global clean-water crisis. It’s an epidemic that hits close to home for the Ethiopian-born artist. “When I was younger, my dad pointed out Kilimanjaro on a huge atlas. It stood in my mind as one of the wonders of the world,” he said. “This climb is dedicated to my father. As a child in Ethiopia, he lost his brother and lost his friends and family to water-borne diseases. A billion people in the world don’t have clean water. I had to do something about it. For me it’s personal. I could have been one of those kids. I needed to come up with something that would command attention. And the only thing I could think of that was that massive was climbing Kilimanjaro.” |

Thanks to ‘M’ for this alert! Isabel is nominated for the ‘Aussie Superstar Of The Year’ award at the 2010 Dolly Teen Choice Awards in Australia! She is nominated alongside other rising Aussie stars such as Guy Sebastian, Miranda Kerr and Liam Hemsworth. You can vote for Miss Lucas RIGHT HERE – her category is on the 3rd and final page. I think this is only magazine-based awards, as in there will be no event/red carpet show. The Dolly site does say that there will be related features in their magazine though, so if you live in Australia make sure you keep an eye on that magazine! I’m not sure when winners will be announced, but I’ll be keeping a look out for further details, and will let you know! If anyone from Australia can contribute scans of any coverage of Isabel and these awards from Dolly magazine then please contact me! All credit will be given Read on for a press article from Dolly: |

MTV released the first trailer for its upcoming documentary on the recent celeb-stacked Kilimanjaro climb that raised awareness about the need for clean drinking water in impoverished parts of the world. One thing is clear after watching the footage. This was no cakewalk. Jessica Biel, Lupe Fiasco, Emile Hirsch, Isabel Lucas and other celebs all appear as if they’ve been pushed near the breaking point as they trudge up the side of the imposing mountain with a climbing party of roughly 300 people. Headaches, scrapes, bruises and exhaustion all look par for the course for the climbers. MTV plans to air the entire documentary March 14. Ethiopian-born musician Kenna organized the climb after learning that his father had suffered from water-borne illnesses throughout much of his childhood, and many Ethiopians still travel long distances to secure clean drinking water. Kenna conceived of the socially-conscious Summit on the Summit after failing to climb the formidable mountain in 2007. |

In a timely show of support, Hollywood star and anti-whaling activist Isabel Lucas has recorded a new ad for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society encouraging people to donate to the group. The ad is scheduled to air on Australian television networks tonight. Sea Shepherd’s Australian director Jeff Hansen told The Daily Telegraph that the ad was filmed in Melbourne last winter but needed a high-profile supporter to do a voice-over and appear at the end. “Isabel was out here late last year and appeared on Rove and said she would love to support us,” he said. Hansen added that the ad had not cost the group “a cent” – because Lucas and its creators had given their time for free. The 24-year-old actress is currently with Jessica Biel, Emile Hirsch, and other celebrities on a climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise awareness of the worldwide water crisis. |
