Press Release
SOURCE: Hollywood Foreign Press Association
Haley Giraldo Selected as 2002 Miss Golden Globe
59th Annual Golden Globe Awards to be Telecast Live On NBC on Sunday, Jan. 20, 2002
HOLLYWOOD--(ENTERTAINMENT WIRE)--Nov. 15, 2001--The Hollywood Foreign Press Association today announced Haley Giraldo as Miss Golden Globe for the 59th Annual Golden Globe Awards to be telecast live on NBC on Sunday, Jan. 20, 2002.
Giraldo is the daughter of singer Pat Benatar and husband producer/guitarist Neil Giraldo. Traditionally, Miss Golden Globe, who assists in the Golden Globes ceremony, is the daughter of a well-known performer.
Born Haley Egeana Giraldo on Feb. 16, 1985, Haley has literally been on the road her entire life. When she was nine months old, she began her touring career by accompanying her parents as they toured around the world.
Having spent her life around the music industry, it was a given that Haley would follow in her parents' footsteps. In 1999 Haley decided to form a band of her own. Aided by Erin Potter and Natasha Diamond, GLO was formed. The band worked with noted choreographer Dan Karaty and recorded cover songs as well as originals.
In the summer of 2000 Haley set out on the road, along with GLO as a supporting act for her parents' tour. The audience response was outstanding. After completing the tour, Haley and GLO returned to the studio to record additional demos. Over the course of that year, GLO continued to hone their craft and began to gain public attention. By the summer of 2001 they were more than ready to hit the road again. As that tour came to an end, offers for GLO began to come in. In September, GLO opened for Smash Mouth at ``The Big One'' (Tucson, Arizona's answer to Los Angeles' ``Wango Tango''). When Haley isn't working on her junior year of high school, she and GLO are working to secure a record contract.

Next up, 2001 Globe winner Martin Sheen, pointing out the "successful second-generation actors" in the audience--Bridget Fonda, Angelina Jolie, Kiefer Sutherland "and oh yes, Charlie Sheen."

Why is he mentioning them? To introduce Miss Golden Globe 2002, Haley Giraldo, daughter of '80s rocker Pat Benatar and her husband, guitarist-producer Neil Giraldo. Aside from the long blond locks, there she is, looking very Benatar and hitting everyone with her best shot.

Haley also appears on a Golden Globe segment of INSIDE EDITION

The March issue of Marie Claire magazine has a full-page ad
for the Lifetime/Marie Claire breast cancer benefit, "Women Rock!"

ROCKING OUT
TO STOP BREAST CANCER FOR LIFE!
LIFETIME Television and Marie Claire teamed up once again to present the Second Annual WOMEN ROCK! GIRLS & GUITARS, an all-star benefit concert to raise breast cancer awareness and funds for National Alliance of Breast Cancer Organizations (NABCO) and National Breast Cancer Coalition (NBCC). A veritable Who's Who of women--featuring Pat Benatar, Mary J. Blige, Beth Nielsen Chapman, Sheryl Crow, Dixie Chicks, Nelly Furtado, Emmylou Harris and Shea Seger-- took center stage at Wiltern Theater in Los Angeles to call attention to this important cause and for a star-studded jam. While the all-female bill of chart-topping performers were joining forces for a concert of a lifetime, this wasn't the only place htat was rockin'...
HARD ROCK SERVES UP GOOD WORKS
Hard Rock Cafe's partnership with LIFETIME Television has been extensive, tireless and generous.
To help raise money for NABCO and NBCC, Hard Rock Cafe created a limited-edition pink guitar lapel pin featuring the "Stop Breast Cancer for Life" heading and the signature breast cancer awareness pink ribbon. Pins are available for purchase at all 39 U.S. Hard Rock Cafes and online at their website www.hardrock.com. For every pin sold, Hard Rock Cafe donates four dollars to our charity partners!
In addition, the Hard Rock Cafe website auctioned ten orange Fender Stratocaster guitars signed by WOMEN ROCK! musicians, with all proceeds from the winning bids going to the two breast cancer organizations.
Many thanks to a great partner for a great cause!
YOU ROCK!
Girls with guitars rocked for the good cause, but we all play a part in promoting awareness about this disease that kills one American woman every 12 minutes. We can make a difference. And thanks to your support, around $100,000 had been raised to date for breast cancer charities through guitar auctions and pin sales!
WOMEN ROCK! It's a celebration of how far we've come in the fight against breast cancer. It's also a reminder of how much further we need to go...

In the March issue of Rosie magazine, NEIL!!!'s wife gives
parenting advice in a feature called "Mom Squad."
A sample question is available on Rosie's website.

MOM SQUAD:
Pat's answers only
QUESTION:
My daughter cries and screams whenever I drop her off at child care. It's been going on for nearly six months now, and I don't know what to do. Any ideas?

PAT:
Oh, I hate it when that happens! When my oldest daughter, Haley, was in preschool, I used to literally peel her fingers off my leg when I said good-bye. She was crying, I was crying. (I still can't smell finger paint without getting anxious.) Separation is very difficult for small children because they can't grasp the concept of time, and they haven't learned that they're not being abandoned forever every time Mom and Dad leave. Try giving your daughter something familiar of yours or her dad's to hold if she's feeling scared. And reassure her that you'll be back. (With older children, you can show them the time on a clock.)

QUESTION:
I’m pregnant, and everyone is hounding my husband and me about the sex and name of the baby. How can we tactfully ask friends and relatives to leave us alone?

PAT:
It’s always amazing to me how bold people are today. They’ll ask you the most personal things about your life or, worse, tell you the most personal things about theirs. By and large, I think most people mean well. However, you have a right to your privacy. Tell them kindly that you and your husband are not planning to find out the sex of the child ahead of time and that you haven’t decided on a name. They should back off.

QUESTION: My husband very rarely disciplines our kids, so I always come off at the “mean one.” How can I get him to step up to the plate?

PAT:
I too am the “mean one” in our home. It’s a dirty job, but somebody’s got to do it. I don’t think it matters which parent is the bad guy as long as that person is consistent and isn’t undermined by the good guy. It’s very important that your kids see you unified on all fronts. They’ll thank you for it later. (I told my husband, NEIL!!!, that in our next life together, I get to be the fun one.)
