Sweetening Homeless Teens' Lives In Hollywood 1.7 million children in the U.S. experience homelessness – facing not only hunger, but loneliness and rejection. After he found himself out on the streets, Rotimi Rainwater, a former U.S. Navy marine, decided to do something about this issue. He has directed “Sugar,” a film about the life of homeless teens that will be released in September. Based on Rainwater’s experience,“Sugar” is a drama that depicts the life of a teen who ends up living on the streets of Venice Beach, CA, after her parent’s death. With a cast that is half homeless, part of the proceeds from “Sugar” will go towards helping to get them out of the streets of Los Angeles. Also, some of the donations collected through the Indiegogo online funding campaign will help to provide free meals to homeless youth. Meanwhile, an array of successful actors and producers have supported the movie’s cause. “90210’s” Shenae Grimes, Corbin Bleu from “One Life to Live,” and “True Blood’s” Marshall Allman all contributed their talents to “Sugar.” As a Los Angeles investment manager and philanthropist, Elliott Broidy was also moved by this production’s cause. Broidy has fostered the promotion and success of “Sugar.” Even before its official release, the movie has been largely acclaimed. Following a request by Karen Bass, House Representative of California, “Sugar” was screened on June 27th in Congress. In addition, the movie won the “Film Heals Award” at the Manhattan Film Festival and has gotten five of its cast members out of the streets. .

Shenae Grimes Exchanges PDA with Josh Beech at Express Grand Opening
Shenae Grimes Exchanges PDA with Josh Beech at Express Grand Opening The sweet and sexy Shenae Grimes has plenty of love to go around, even when she isn’t playing her relatively good-girl role on 90210. The young actress traveled to Vancouver last week with model boyfriend Josh Beech for the grand opening of the Express store on July 12, where they didn’t hide any affection. As the two headed back to the states, the 22-year old snagged a kiss from her new man at the Vancouver International Airport. Two days later, the couple visited Hollywood nightclub Beacher’s Madhouse, where their PDA went into overtime after their short trip together. A source tells UsMagazine.com that Grimes was “dancing very seductively” with Beech while he “only had eyes for Shenae.” Looks like the two are off to a great start.
