In addition to convening Nobel Laureates, the World Summit annually recognizes a high-profile personality making an outstanding contribution to international social justice and peace. Sean Penn, actor, founder and CEO of J/P Haitian Relief Organization, will be presented with the 2012 Peace Summit Award during the summit for his work to rebuild and aid the victims of the devastating 2010 earthquake in Haiti, as well as his ongoing advocacy for peace and human rights protection worldwide.
“It’s difficult to properly respond to this while avoiding cliché,” Penn said. “But quite deliberately, I’m thrilled to receive this tribute and to represent it to the youth of Haiti, the strong women of Haiti, and of the world. Tomorrow is a new day where cynicism is for cowards, and men of virtue and agency will be true heroes to their sons. Many in my generation know cowardice well, but not the youth, and not the women. And NEVER the Haitians. This is an extraordinary honor in an extraordinary moment on Earth. I’m very grateful.”

HollywoodNews.com: ‘Jersey Shore’ stars Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Jenni “JWOWW” Farley are reportedly trying to film their spin-off show, but it seems they are dealing with one major problem.
The city of Hoboken, New Jersey has reportedly turned down the filming permit that would allow them to film the spin-off there, states TMZ. Mayor of Hoboken Dawn Zimmer made the announcement online that 495 Productions has been denied the permit.
Part of the reason is reportedly because filming cannot be done after 11pm in residential areas while the company wanted a 24-hour permit.
Also, it was believed that filming the show there would result in “unacceptable lessening of the quality of life for the local residents and businesses.”
Do you think the spin-off will happen? If so, where?

HollywoodNews.com: Apparently fans are really going to love Kelsey Grammer’s new show as it has been given a second season before the first season has even debuted.
Grammer’s ‘Boss’ on Starz will debut on October 21st, but will not leave fans worried about getting more, states The A.V. Club. The show will have Grammer playing a Chicago mayor who is fond of dirty tricks.
Considering Grammer’s run with ‘Frasier,’ it seems pretty likely that a second season could be a good move for Starz.
