His classical training and reverence for Broadway musicals have been counterpointed by his early grounding in the Long Island bar-band scene and his love of rhythm & blues, resulting in an enthusiastic yet musically sophisticated approach to rock and roll. Joel had Top 10 hits in the '70s, '80s, and '90s; is a six-time Grammy Award winner; and has sold in excess of 150 million albums worldwide. He was inducted into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and the Long Island Music Hall of Fame. Joel "retired" from recording pop music in 1993 but continued to tour (sometimes with Elton John). In 2001 he subsequently released Fantasies & Delusions, a CD of classical compositions for piano. In 2007 he returned to recording with a single entitled "All My Life", followed by an extensive "World Tour" from 2005-2008, covering many of the major world cities. 1500.0 0.0 500.0 25.0 0 May 12, 2008 08:00 EST May 29, 2008 08:00 EST None http://cerberus.charitybuzz.com/images/auction_catalog/73303_thumb.jpg http://cerberus.charitybuzz.com/images/auction_catalog/73303_detail_1.jpg 73304 73304 Meet Tony Award Nominee Patti LuPone After her Performance in GYPSY Includes: 2 house seats to see GYPSY and meet and greet with Patti LuPone.

About Aramus Arabians: Wayne Newton's farm was named for the *Naborr son, *Aramus. The farm (Aramus Arabians) is known for breeding World Class Arabian horses with type, confirmation, discipline and versatility. Multi-national champion horses include WN Ultimate Star who was one of the only Triple Crown winners. His start as a breeder began in the '60s when *Naborr entered the picture along with *Aramus. Newton fell head over heels when he first laid eyes on the son. "Aramus truly polarized what my opinion of an Arabian horse should look like," he says. As time went on, the horse became an icon. "He won just about everything there was to win-halter, park, formal driving, formal combination." In the 1970s, Newton acquired a taste for Polish and Spanish bloodlines, and Aramus Arabians continued to grow and prosper. Now, having spent more than 40 decades in the breeding business, his intrigue with the business is sprinkled with doses of expertise and constant curiosity.

Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) was a rising star with the San Francisco Police Department, until the tragic murder of his beloved wife, Trudy, left him shattered and wracked with phobias, obsessions and compulsions. His extreme case of obsessive-compulsive disorder cost him his job, and for a time rendered him virtually unable to function. With the help of therapy and the support of his loyal friends and devoted personal assistant, Monk's condition has improved, but his many fears- including germs, heights, crowds, and even milk - pose daily challenges for Monk and the people around him. Yet despite his condition, Monk remains a brilliant detective. Though his approach to homicide investigation is unconventional, Monk's vast intelligence, gift for crime scene analysis, and legendary powers of observation have earned him a reputation as one of the best detectives in San Francisco, if not the world. Monk dreams of regaining his badge, and in the meantime continues to work as a consultant and private detective, taking on even the most impossible cases and continuing to investigate the most personal unsolved crime of all: the murder of his wife.

From stand-up comedy to film and television, Silverman has seen her share of success. And 2007 has certainly been the year of proof. In January, her show, "The Sarah Silverman Program," launched on Comedy Central scoring the highest ratings for a new show in 3 years. Rave reviews coupled with impressive numbers prompted a renewal and the show returns October 3rd 2007 with new episodes. Silverman also made an impressive splash when the feature length film version of her one-woman show opened in theaters. The film, "Sarah Silverman: Jesus is Magic," directed by Liam Lynch and filmed before a live crowd in Los Angeles in 2004 garnered major attention at the Toronto Film Festival and created huge national buzz. Silverman was in turn named one of the Entertainers of 2005 by Entertainment Weekly and landed herself a spot as the Breakthrough Comedian of the Year in People. With her comedic timing and incredible stage presence it's no surprise that Sarah has been asked to host major award shows. In June she hosted the first-ever live telecast of the MTV Movie Awards, produced by Mark Burnett. She has also hosted Film Independent's Spirit Awards the last 2 years running. Silverman most recently co-starred in Jeff Garlin's feature film, "I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With," which premiered at the 2006 Tribeca Film Festival. She has also starred in "School For Scoundrels" opposite Billy Bob Thornton and John Heder for the Weinstein Brothers. Sarah blew audiences away in the documentary feature, "The Aristocrats" in which 100 of the industry's most prominent comedians tell a version of the same joke. Before that she co-starred opposite Jack Black, Mike White, and Joan Cusack in "The School of Rock" for Paramount. She has also co-starred in "There's Something About Mary," "The Way of The Gun," Ivan Reitman's "Evolution," "The Bachelor," and "Say It Is't So." Sarah co-starred on the FOX comedy "Greg The Bunny" opposite Eugene Levy. She has also guest starred in a slew of acclaimed and notable television shows such as "The Larry Sanders Show," "Seinfeld," and "Mr. Show with Bob and David." Silverman also lends her voice to the hugely successful Comedy Central show, "Crank Yankers." Sarah grew up in New Hampshire and attended New York University. It was around this time that she began to pursue the Manhattan comedy scene and logged as much time in the comedy clubs as she did in the classroom. In 1993 she joined "Saturday Night Live" and has not stopped working since. Sarah currently resides in Los Angeles with her dog Duck. 7500.0 3750.0 4250.0 500.0 15 May 12, 2008 08:00 EST May 29, 2008 09:00 EST pcentexr http://cerberus.charitybuzz.com/images/auction_catalog/73331_thumb.jpg http://cerberus.charitybuzz.com/images/auction_catalog/73331_detail_1.jpg 73332 73332 This item is no longer available This item is no longer available but please visit www.charitybuzz.com to bid on other incredible experiences! 0.0 7500.0 8500.0 1000.0 7 May 12, 2008 08:00 EST May 29, 2008 08:58 EST jason.svestka http://cerberus.charitybuzz.com/images/auction_catalog/73332_thumb.jpg http://cerberus.charitybuzz.com/images/auction_catalog/73332_detail_1.jpg 73333 73333 Broadway Lovers Package Includes: 2 tix to each of the following shows: In the Hights, Cry Baby, Hairspray, Legally Blonde.
