Stars gathered in Casa Dorada in Los Cabos, Mexico over the weekend for the 2010 Cabo Celebrity Golf Classic, which helped raise funds for the Casa Hogar Orphanage.

The golf invitational paired celebrity athletes, actors and artists with amateurs for two rounds of golf. One of the actors was Brett Cullen (53, Dan Fixx from Falcon Crest's Season 6&7).

Ken Olin in Reality TV Show

Ken Olin (55, Father Christopher on Falcon Crest's Season 5) is set to make his reality TV debut, alongside his daughter Roxy on hit U.S. series THE CITY.
Aspiring actress Roxy Olin, who had a snall guest role on her dad's show Brother's and Sisters, appears alongside Whitney Port in the MTV series, about Port's struggle to make it as a fashion designer in New York City.

She insists her dad and actress mother Patricia Wettig encouraged her to take part in the show to boost her Hollywood career, and now Ken Olin is showing his support by appearing on the series himself.

Roxy Olin tells the New York Daily News, "When I was considering joining the show, my dad was like, reality is the new generation - either you can run with it or you can get left behind. My parents thought it sounded cool, like nothing they'd ever done before... and now my dad wants to be on it! I think he's going to be on an episode this season."

Falcon Crest Cast & Crew Reunited for Reza Badiyi

On Sunday, Falcon Crest director Reza Badiyi was honored by members of the Iranian-American community for his 80th birthday and his 60th year in the entertainment industry at UCLA's Royce Hall in Los Angeles.
Badiyi has directed more than 430 hours of television, believed by many to be the most in the history of the medium.

Several cast and crew members were at the party: Ana-Alicia with husband Gary Benz, Earl & Jane Hamner, Margaret Ladd, Jill Jacobson, William R. Moses, Laura Lee, Martha Manor, Karen Davis, Karl Silvera & Paul Sirmons and several other crew members. Unfortunately, Susan Sullivan had to decline on a short notice and David Selby sent over an emotional video message for Reza.

For his part, Badiyi said he intends to continue occupying the director's chair. "I have news for you," he told the audience of well-wishers. "I'm not done yet. I want to work more."

Mariska Hargitay attended the 2010 Matrix Awards presented by New York Women in Communications at The Waldorf Astoria on April 19, 2010 in New York City.

The Matrix Award honors extraordinary achievements of outstanding women in the communications industry.
Mariska, who is president & founder of the Joyful Heart Foundation presented an award to singer Sheryl Crow.

Mariska met Sheryl Crow on the Big Island of Hawaii in 2006. "I always wear a necklace with the word 'Fearlessness' on it," says Hargitay. "I think that's what first drew me to Sheryl. I have a deep appreciation for people who grab life by the horns and ride it for all it's worth. She does it with such grace and beauty, with humor and humility, and this magical combination of you-can't-stop-me determination and tranquil self-awareness. She may have the most beautiful heart of anyone I know-pure and good and true."
