Recovering Hanson Brother Walks It Off

Those Hanson boys are such do-gooders! They were in the Thirty Mile Zone today on a very special mission -- to fight poverty and HIV/AIDS in Africa. They are walking a mile -- in West Hollywood -- to help raise awareness, which will then be followed by a performance.


Eldest brother Isaac showed high spirits when asked about his recent pulmonary embolism. He ecstatically proclaimed that he's "feeling really, really good." You can't keep a good boy down!

3. Why do celebs not walk for cancer or some other disease that we haven't cure or know about. We all know what causes AIDS and how not to get it!!

6. Wow. Comments so far have reached a new level of dumb. We all know what causes AIDS and how to avoid it? Try tell explaining that one to the children born with AIDS in Africa, smartass. Hanson have gone to Africa once already, shot a video there, and are going again this month. A five second Google search could have kept that poster from looking like an idiot.

7. Hanson does this in ever city they go to. This is nothing new. The fans always walk with them before shows. We did it when they where in Tennessee not to long ago. Hanson does a lot of good work and are very nice guys.

8. Which one of these brothers is the one Bruce Willis bought all the presents for? Didn't that come out in Bruce's divorce or something? Creepy Daddy...makes his acceptance of Demi and Ashton more understandable...

9. Actually #4, they are raising awareness for poverty and AIDS prevention in Africa, where there isn't a lot to prevent it and the education of AIDS is a lot less than it is here is the US. They are partnered with a company called TOMS shoes that is donating a pair of shoes to a child in Africa for every pair that is bought. Hanson themselves are going to Africa in Nov/Dec to deliver the shoes themselves. They have themselves walked a minimum of 1 mile in every city that they have played in so far, a total of almost 30 miles, all barefoot. Their stance is that we can all do something, and CHOOSE what is important to you, JUST DO IT!! Don't talk about it, don't think about, just DO. FInd a way to make an impact and perform. Thank you TMZ for doing a positive article on these guys. I had a discussion with Taylor just Saturday about all of this and they are very passionate about it. Better than Paris Hilton's fake ass "charity work".

11. Excuse me, but DON'T WE HAVE poverty, hiv/aids in our own country. Why can't these people do for our own people. That is problem with our society today. "Let's help other countries and hell with our own".

12. Taylor still has such a lovely face!

13. To the people with negative comments, go jump off a cliff. For the rest of you, Hanson is doing an amazing thing. They are amazing guys, who want to make a difference, not just transform themselves into what a record label says so they can sell a few records. Go Hanson!!! Also, thanks TMZ for some actual good news... instead of the usual Britney is getting gas & coffee! ha!

14. Beth: Yes, we have poverty and AIDS in this country, but it doesn't compare to what is happening in Africa, and Africa has fewer resources to deal with it. It's a question of giving the aid where it's needed the most.

15. They are great! Taylor is really cute.
