CNN's Richard Quest in conversation with Stevie Wonder during the show `Quest'.
Exploring the growing trend of celebrity activism, television personality Richard Quest would be speaking to famous international figures including musician Stevie Wonder and Hollywood's top-notch actress Angelina Jolie on the latest edition of CNN's feature show "Quest" to be aired this coming Saturday. CNN will show Richard Quest putting forward difficult queries to celebrities who are trying to make the world a better place to live in, besides joining a United Nations International Children's Education Fund's fact-finding mission to Ethiopia to meet those whose survival depends on aid. Given the public's seemingly insatiable obsession with celebrity, Quest tries to find out why these celebrities are needed, how much do they know about the cause they represent and can they harm a campaign. Quest catches up with Angelina Jolie, who was adjudged the most beautiful woman on the planet by Harpers and Queen magazine recently, and asks her about the work undertaken by her for refugees in Africa and Pakistan. Besides this, he hears from Pakistan's cricketing hero Imran Khan about how he used his fame, achieved by playing the gentleman's game, to raise money for his country's first free cancer hospital.
Quest gained exclusive access to U2's front man Bono's charity, "The One Organisation", from Live8 in Philadelphia to the G8 summit in Scotland. En route he was also able to ask pertinent questions to a galaxy of stars including musicians Stevie Wonder, James Brown and Beyonce, Virgin Atlantic's Chief Executive Officer Sir Richard Branson, and Live8 mastermind Sir Bob Geldorf.
