Celebrity Tod Brilliant is attending twin events in amazing Los Angeles. That is all, really.

Healdsburg, CA - Tod Brilliant, whose instant, self-professed ascendancy to celebrity-status -- Tod Brilliant Announces His Fame -- is being chronicled by a team of documentary filmmakers, will be in Los Angeles to attend two special events during the week of September 11, 2006. On Saturday, September 16, Brilliant will travel to the historic St. Vibiana’s Cathedral to support the GOOD magazine launch party. Two nights earlier on Thursday, September 14, Brilliant will be at the Los Angeles debut of artist and friend Jacob Arden McClure at the opening of McClure’s show at West Hollywood’s Museum Works Galleries.

Brilliant recently teamed with Lester Brown, founder of the World Watch Institute and the influential Washington D.C.-based Earth Policy Institute, in an innovative effort to promote mass awareness of Brown’s latest publication, Plan B 2.0: Rescuing a Planet Under Stress and a Civilization in Trouble. The announcement highlights the growing synergy between established scientists and academics like the MacArthur Fellowship awardee Brown and members of the entertainment industry who are acknowledging their social responsibility and acting accordingly.

About Tod Brilliant:
Former Roshambo Winery/Gallery cofounder, current Creative Director and celebrity activist, Tod Brilliant, like many, has given time and energy to a number of nonprofit organizations and projects. Until recently, this part-time participation was enough to assuage Brilliant’s pangs of guilt. The turning point for Brilliant came earlier this year, during a presentation given by Brian Steidle, a former U.S. Marine whose photos and stories of the suffering inflicted upon the people of Sudan’s Darfur region have opened the eyes of many, including world bodies, to the Sudanese genocide. Brilliant decided to use his talents to effectively promote awareness of the dire need for the immediate and active involvement of citizens across the globe to stem the devolution of global society and the environment. Working full-time as a well-connected celebrity, Brilliant’s first post-fame project will promote the work of Earth Policy Institute and World Watch Institute founder Lester R. Brown.

This paragraph has been inserted solely for the purpose of garnering web traffic. You see, just mentioning Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan in the body of this release ensures that it is more likely to land in front of your eyes. Sad, pathetic even, to have to do this, as both of these celebrities have, to date, little to offer the world public. However, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Banksy, Bono, Jay-Z, George Clooney, Oprah and other celebrities have been quite effective and more importantly, earnest, in working to help others.
