During the film festival, Bertolli kicked off their “Ladles of Love” program, benefiting Feeding America. This campaign will provide 400,000 meals to local food banks across the country. Celebrities attending the festival had the opportunity to show their support by visiting the “Soup Chalet” and autographing a ladle.
It was such a thrill to see the “who’s who” of Hollywood come out to show their support! By the end of the opening weekend, the “Ladles of Love” wall was filled with autographs. Take a peek at a few of the stars who stopped by!

I would so love to win this !!!It looks AWESOME!!
I would also love to win this, I love Bertolli and use their pastas and sauces at least twice a week!
I would want the autograph of Bono because I have enjoyed his music with U2 since the early 80′s.
Harrison Ford’s autograph, would be great. Love all the work he has done.
If I could get 1 autograph of any celebrity it would be David O’Conner – not your normal celeb, but a total celebrity in the horse world. I guess the reason I’d want it, is that I’d have to probably meet him in person to get the signature and then I could beg to ride with him and his wife Karen for a year or more – plus they breed awesome ponies, and I would loooove to work with someone who values the little equines as much as I do!
I would love to get Paula Deen’s autograph. She’s kind of my idol and I’d love to meet her someday. I just had my first recipe published in a Gooseberry Patch cookbook and Paula is the one who inspired me to cook and create my own recipes. (c:
My choice would have to be Bobby Flay or Michael Simon they are both inspirations for me and my cooking!
I would love to get Ellen DeGenere’s autograph!I love how kind,compassionate and endearing she is to her fans.She has a backbone and stands for what she believes.She will not attack back at people in spite.Instead she confronts them with courage,tact and honesty!It’s hard to find role models that actually care.But she seems to care as well as wants to make other people’s lives a little better!
I totally agree with you. Ellen has got to be one of the most honest women today. She is what she is take her or leave her. I think this is refreshing in today’s celebrities
I would love to get Bruno Mars’ autograph! I admire him as an artist since he is talented in so many ways; playing numerous instruments, writing music, singing, dancing, and so on!!
If I could get an autograph it would be from my all time favorite singer Reba! She has been through so much and has come so far and she is an inspiration to me!
If I could get an autograph of my fav celebrity, I’d have to say, Audrey Hepburn, too bad she’s gone! I guess i’ll have to settle for Nicole Kidman. Either way they are 2 graceful elegant women…
Audrey Hepburn because she was a classic beauty. Too bad they didn’t serve Bertolli’s soup for “Breakfast at Tiffanys!”
I would like Sandra Bullocks autograph. She seems like such a down to earth person. She has been through so much and is still able to hold her head high! Oh and let me not forget what a great actress she is. I love her movies!
I’m not usually celebrity crazed, but I would get Ree Drummond’s autograph if I had the chance…
I would LOVE Brad Pitt because, well, he’s Brad Pitt
:) lol!! Or Tom Hanks because even tho he’s not quite the sex symbol Brad is, Tom has always been my favorite actor. From Bosom Buddies, Big to The Davinci Code, he is just simply amazing 
This giveaway is so perfect for the cold weather.
The celebrity I would want an autograph from is Jennifer Aniston. I admire her. She seems very real in everything she does. I have always been a fan of hers.
Sorry I forgot the other part of my comment. I would love an autograph from Bobby Flay because I love watching him teach grilling all sorts of delicious foods.
Barbara Walters. I know there are a bunch of people that can’t stand her, and make fun of her pronunciation of certain words, but she revolutionized journalism for females.I admire that she has never taken a tabloid twist to any of her reports, seems to genuinely care about what she reports on, whether it be actors or world news, and she had stayed in the business when many other women were pushed aside.
I would love to get an autograph from Angelina Jolie due to all the charitable work she does.
I would love a ladle autographed by Oprah!
I would love to get Oprahs autograph as she is such a true inspiration to so many people
I would love something like this.I love soups and I lost 100 pounds eating soups.Ive never won anything in my 52 years of life. I was diognosed with breast cancer and soup is just about all I will eat for now..With crackers…. So i thought ID try my luck and see what happens… This is a nice idea you have .I love seeing healthy things being giving away….God Bless
I would want Sean Connery’s autograph. He was so hot and such a great actor!
I would like to get Dolly Parton’s autograph. I grew up listening to her music with my mother and she is still going strong with her music and acting career. She does so much great work for the people in East TN where she is from.
I would love to have an autograph of Helen Hunt. I have always like her in anything she’s done over the years. I think she a fabulous actress and just a beautiful person!

i would like the autograph of emeril lagasse (guess thats how you spell it). he is the chef i started watching that inspired me to do what i love…cook!!!
I would have to say the pleasure to meet and get an autograph from the one and only Paula Deen would be the ultimate for me. I love her she is so funny and down to earth and let’s face it the woman can cook.
Paula Deen for sure she is a wonderful and funny woman who can cook and not give a care about what the ingredients are and they all look soooo good.
I love soup!!! Thank you for these great give-aways.
I wouldnt want an autograph to hang on my wall or show off but I would be so honored one day to spend just 3 minutes talking with Madonna.I see all celeberties as just another person but I admire her for changing with ( and before the times ) for never letting fame get to her so much that she needed Rehab and for being very business smart.also because she is one who gives back and tries to do positive things with her fame and fortune. She has kept a steady and ongoing career in a field full crackheads and whiners.As far as autographs I have the only two I ever need the ones my mom and dad put on my birth certificate:) they are who I look up to.

They are both honest in their struggles and yet appreciative and respectful of each other… definitely something we should all take notice of!!
I would really want two…One for actor Clint Eastwood, and one for musician Alvin Lee from Ten Years After. I have selfish reasons for wanting one or both. I want them for my ex-husband. He has been a good person to me through it all, and I have tried to be the same. I would just want him to know, I find him special enough to go out of my way for. Though not a star, when I lost my job, he fed me, when our church was doing a rummage sale to raise money to help the kids, he donated some of his best stuff. A lot of people are kind of down right now and he as a regular guy, tries his best, to do what he can. And that is pure love, as he has been an unsung hero.
