Remember Haiti ribbons appear at Golden Globes (Updated 1/18)

The ribbons produced by our California family members are showing up on celebrities at tonight's Golden Globes award show.

Here's Paul McCartney, announcing the award for animated features, wearing the ribbon on his left lapel. (We don't know what those other button things are.)

Below, Sandra Bullock arrives with her husband, Jesse James, sporting the ribbon.

The photo at left was on USA Today's "Lifeline Live" entertainment website, along with this blurb:

Note the little yellow and red ribbon on House star Lisa Edelstein's handbag.

"We're all wearing these Remember Haiti ribbons," Edelstein told E!. "It's to remind ourselves what's going on."

She mentioned George Clooney's Friday telethon and some other Haiti fundraising activities. "Everyone is doing their best," she said.


Update 1/18:
The ribbons were mentioned in many news accounts about the Golden Globes. For example, second paragraph of a Reuters story on fashions at the event: "Many stars, like Nicole Kidman, pinned ribbons of yellow, blue and red to their dresses and tuxedos in a show of support for victims of the massive earthquake that rocked the Caribbean nation last week."

From an AP story: "Stars such as Penelope Cruz, Ricky Gervais, Jon Hamm, Adrian Grenier and Lisa Edelstein were eager to show off their red-and-yellow ribbons pinned to their purses and lapels that were to remind each other as well as TV viewers of the plight being suffered by Haiti's earthquake victims."

Before presenting the first award of the night, Nicole Kidman said: "I just want to say on a serious note a lot of people are wearing ribbons tonight in support of the people of Haiti, and you can go to NBC.com to make your personal contribution."

A site called "Popeater.com" put together a collage of pictures of the ribbons on various celebrities.

And Tish spotted this write-up and photo display on Stylelist.com.
