JAM: Brosnan to ski for charity
12/20/07
By THERESA TAYLER -- Sun Media
Lt. Frank Drebin and Agent 007 will be part of the celebrity crew patrolling the ski hills come this January.
Pierce Brosnan, the British James Bond, and Regina-born Naked Gun star Leslie Nielsen (Drebin) are two of the Hollywood stars announced to attend Robert Kennedy Jr's Waterkeeper Alliance held in Banff next month.
Numerous well-known movie stars will ski the slopes at Sunshine Village, and stay at the Fairmont Banff Springs hotel from Jan. 17 to the 20 for the Fairmont Banff Springs Celebrity Sports Invitational.
The annual fundraiser began in 1987 and has raised millions of dollars for the Waterkeeper Alliance -- an organization founded by Kennedy that aims to protect North American waterways, -- since then.
If Nielsen and Brosnan run into any trouble on the slopes, they can call on assassin Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah's character in thriller Kill Bill). Hannah will also attend the charity event, as will famous Hollywood faces such as Jason Priestley (Beverly Hills 90210), Josie Bissett (Melrose Place) and Kelsey Grammer (Back to You).
Tim Robbins, Christie Brinkley and Alec Baldwin are also to show up at the ski weekend in Banff.
The stars will take in a concert by musical guest Michael McDonald, dine at a gala dinner, and attend a high priced auction in benefit of the charity.
Tickets for the gala are available to the public at $500 per person through the Fairmont Banff Springs by calling (403) 760-1400.

The Fairmont Banff Springs To Get Celeb-Wattage at Their Sports
Invitational
12/20/2007
The Fairmont Banff Springs is hosting a Sports Invitational from January 17-20th and a handful of famous Canadians and non-Canadians will be on hand to participate.
The event, which supports Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s Waterkeeper Alliance will be co-hosted by Kennedy, Tim Robbins, Christie Brinkley, Alec Baldwin, and Pierce Brosnan. Also on hand will be Jason Priestly, Darryl Hannah, Josie Bissett, Kelsey Grammer and Leslie Nielsen.
Over two days, the celebs will participate in traditional winter sports such as skiing, snowboarding, toboggan, cross-country skiing and dual giant slalom races at the Sunshine Village Ski & Snowboard Resort. The made-for-TV event is open to anyone who can purchase a lift ticket.
But if you want to get closer to Jason Priestly (who doesn't? Wait, what? It's not 1992 anymore?), you can purchase a ticket to the Gala to be hosted at the hotel on the last night of the event. Tickets start at $500 CDN per person. The chance to sit with Jason Priestly? Priceless. Or not. A gold table at the gala is going for $10,000 which doesn't actually get you a gold table but rather, tickets for eight guests and the chance to sit with a celebrity and their companion. Call the hotel at (403) 760-1400 if you're interested.
