Shopping for jewelry at Saks Fifth Avenue this Friday benefits a worthy cause. Author Elizabeth Dewberry, actress Keshia Knight Pulliam, CNN's Nadia Bilchik, Cinnabon President Kat Cole, businesswoman Angie Raub and past honorary Italian consul general Angela Turner will join Francine LeFrak, founder of the Same Sky jewelry line for the event from 5 to 7 p.m. Same Sky employs African women with HIV/AIDS, and the hand-blown glass beaded necklaces and bracelets they create provide a path out of poverty. Proceeds from the sale of Same Sky's jewelry supports the program, which began in 2009 with four artisans and now employs more than 60. For more information, call 404-812-7392 or see samesky.com.

The Farrelly brothers, who last year filmed the comedy "Hall Pass" in Atlanta, are back to shoot "The Three Stooges." "We felt that they never got the proper consideration from their studio or from Hollywood, which felt they were second rate," Peter Farrelly told the Providence Journal, explaining the thought behind bringing Larry, Moe and Curly to the big screen. "We want to give them the A treatment they deserve." It will star Will Sasso, Chris Diamantopoulos, Sean Hayes, Jane Lynch and Larry David. Our sources tell us the project did some shooting in Cartersville before moving to Midtown and Stone Mountain.
