Walking to find a cure for arthritis
B.W. COOK
More than $82,000 was raised at the recent Arthritis Walk at the
Huntington Beach Pier. Organizers reported that the donations are
still coming in from the recent walk, which attracted more than 600
participants, many from Newport-Mesa.
Chaired by Chris Stoeri on behalf of the Orange County branch of
the Arthritis Foundation, the event’s proceeds will be earmarked for
the control and possible cure of the disease, specifically benefiting
O.C. patients.
May was National Arthritis Month and Stoeri said that as many as a
million O.C. citizens have arthritis.
For more information on how you can help, please call Lori
Contant, executive director of the Arthritis Foundation at (714)

Hollywood superstar Nicolas Cage and his bride Alice Kim will
follow in the legendary footsteps of John Wayne and family in
establishing residence on the water of the main channel of the
Newport Harbor.
Cage reportedly paid more than $20 million for a major
contemporary estate in a quiet transaction that will provide the
talented actor sanctuary for his new family.
The pair was spotted shopping at South Coast Plaza recently,
visiting the Gucci and Bvlgari boutiques. Fear not, Cage -- who
reportedly earned in excess of $20 million each for two recent films,
“Windtalkers” and “Gone in 60 Seconds” -- will enjoy shopping at
South Coast Plaza (dubbed “The Ultimate Shopping Resort”) to furnish
his new residence, and fill his new closets.
In other celeb sightings, or rather anticipated sightings, Marie
Osmond -- America’s sweetheart in the ‘70s and ‘80s -- is planning a
visit to Disneyland on July 14 and 15 for a little meet and greet
with fans at the unveiling of Osmond’s Sleeping Beauty 50th
Anniversary Doll.
The figure will be the first in a series of three princess dolls
created by Osmond and officially released as part of Disneyland’s
50th Anniversary celebration. Osmond will be at the Disneyland Hotel.
For more information, call the hotel at (714) 778-6600 or
marketing representative Kelly Caird at (616) 575-5354.
