Misery Bear hopes that trying to help Comic Relief might give his life some meaning. He’s got himself a spacehopper and is going to do a sponsored 24-hour bounce. Now all he needs is someone to sponsor him.

The Inbetweeners lads are off on a roadtrip – where? Minge Lane anyone?

As part of Red Nose Day 2011, Simon Bird, Joe Thomas, James Buckley and Blake Harrison are jumping in the yellow Fiat and hitting the road in search of the rudest place names going.

The challenge? To find 50 rude places in 50 hours. The trip will leave from Bush Lane (tehehe) at 12pm today (Tuesday 18th January) and finish at 2pm on Thursday at a rude London location. As well as Minge Lane, the guys will also be visiting Titty Ho and Bell End.

For pictures, updates and general rude-name hilarity, follow their progress over on The Inbetweeners facebook page.

Don’t forget, The Rude Road Trip is part of Red Nose Day – and the lads need your support! Make a donation at www.comicrelief.com/inbetweeners or donate £1 by texting RUDE to 70011.

Following a competitive pitch Taylor Herring has joined Sainsbury’s roster of PR agencies.

We have a new brief to promote the tenth year of the supermarket’s involvement with Comic Relief, the agency will be raising awareness of the partnership and promoting exclusive merchandise.

Speaking to PR Week Mark Rigby, director of comms for Sainsbury’s, said: ‘We continue to invest in our business across all categories. The appointment of this roster of agencies is an important element of our commitment to ensure our customers understand the value and quality of our offering, as well as the values that make us differing as a retailer.’

The campaign, aptly named Give Up Clothes for Good and launched by the UK’s biggest charity Cancer Research UK and brands-for-less retailers TK Maxx and HomeSense, is a nationwide clothing and homeware collection to raise valuable funds to help beat childhood cancers.

The campaign runs from 5th-25th April and is being supported by celebrities and shoppers across the country. Since 2004, the biennial campaign has been a huge success – in 2008, it raised £3.2million worth of donations for Cancer Research UK’s life-saving research and this year aims to raise even more.

Jade Jagger, model and designer says: “As a mother of two girls myself, I can’t imagine the devastation felt by parents whose child is diagnosed with cancer. Cancer Research UK is the largest single funder of research into children’s cancer in the UK, having spent more than £9 million last year and it’s vital that this work continues. I am fully behind Give Up Clothes for Good and encourage everyone to get involved – taking along donations to TK Maxx and HomeSense stores is so simple to do, yet will be invaluable in helping Cancer Research UK to beat childhood cancers.”

Bruno Tonioli, Strictly Come Dancing Judge says: “I really enjoyed taking part in this shoot and was glad to Give Up Clothes for Good to help Cancer Research UK beat childhood cancer. I hope everyone else feels the same and I encourage the nation to open up those closets; reach for those hidden marvels, and donate your fabulous items of clothing and homeware to TK Maxx and HomeSense stores.”

Special free donation bags will be available in TK Maxx and HomeSense stores at the end of March however all bags are welcome from bin bags to supersize carrier bags. Each filled bag could be worth up to £30 to Cancer Research UK. For details on how to get involved, check out the TK Maxx website www.tkmaxx.com

Sharon Osbourne, Duffy, David Walliams, Tyra Banks, Nicky Hilton, Rupert Grint, Leighton Meester and the Duchess of York are just some of the celebrities that have parted with their prized possessions for Give Up Clothes For Good – a campaign to help raise valuable funds for life-saving research into childhood cancers.

Fans keen to purchase their favourite celebrity items will have the chance to bid on clothing including designer handbags, coats, dresses, signed trainers and t-shirts such as Sharon Osbourne’s Burberry coat, David Walliams’ Tom Ford suit and the Duchess of York’s Issa dress. The auction will go live for a week on Thursday 25th March at 9am – closing on Thursday 1st April at 3pm at www.tkmaxx.com/ebay

Sharon Osbourne, international celebrity and judge of America’s Got Talent says: “I’ve donated my favourite Burberry coat for the Give Up Clothes for Good campaign. I know that donating it will help to raise money for an amazing cause – beating childhood cancer. I really hope the general public gets behind this campaign as it’s such a simple thing to do. It won’t cost them a thing, they’ll be clutter-free and helping raise money for a good cause at the same time.”

David Walliams, comedian and star of Little Britain says: “I’ve donated my favourite Tom Ford suit to the campaign. It’s dark grey and I’ve looked outrageously smart in it in the past. While I would have loved to keep it, I know it will be raising money for an important cause. Cancer is such a horrible disease at any age, let alone when you’re a child, so we need to do everything we can to help fund more research. Please take part in this campaign and help save more lives.”

Duffy, multi-award winning singer says: “I wore this on stage when I performed at the Lollapalooza festival in Chicago, August 2008. I have really happy memories of the event because the summer heat heightened the crowd’s spirit and the atmosphere was just amazing. I’m donating it in support of the Give Up Clothes for Good campaign to raise awareness and funds for this fantastic cause.”

Launched in 2004, the bi-annual campaign Give Up Clothes for Good is not only for celebrity donations but organisers are urging the general public to rummage through their wardrobes and cupboards to join the fundraising by dropping in unwanted quality clothing and households goods to any TK Maxx or HomeSense store between 5th-25th April.
