If you're bored and you live near Beverly Hills, it's not to late to grab your tux and head to "A Stellar Night," a gala put on by Starlight Starbright, a charity that helps seriously ill children. The video game hook here is that Nintendo is a Starlight Starbright partner, providing "Fun Centers" containing GameCubes to hospitals to make the lives of sick kids just a bit less unpleasant. There will be Fun Centers at A Stellar Night, but they're for the attending kids, so don't go expecting to chug free champagne and demonstrate your prowess at Super Mario Strikers. But if you're actually in a position to help the charity out by attending and maybe buying some raffle tickets, it's a nice thing to do.
