The Chapman brothers head lineup of artists whose works will be auctioned to raise funds

Some of the most famous names in British art – including Jake and Dinos Chapman, Antony Gormley, Anish Kapoor and Rachel Whiteread – have stepped forward to bring the experiences of poor and abused children in South Africa and Rwanda to a bigger stage.

The Chapmans, the controversial brothers nominated for the Turner prize in 2003, were the first to sign up to help a charity set up by the film and stage director Danny Boyle. Their new image, My Father's Suicide, was created after the pair listened to a recording of a 16-year-old South African girl, Kgopotso Mere, talking about the discovery that her father, an Aids sufferer, had committed suicide shortly after being discharged from a hospital stay.

Hollywood hunk Josh Hartnett has denied rumors of an on-set romance after returning to New Zealand from his cozy weekend away with a co-star. The Pearl Harbor actor was spotted in Sydney, Australia over the weekend with a mystery woman, fueling speculation his romance with Scarlett Johansson is on the rocks. According to Sydney's Daily Telegraph, Hartnett's companion was New Zealand actress Amber Sainsbury, who has a small role in the thriller he is currently shooting, 30 Days Of Night. Sources say Hartnett shot down talk of a romance with his 26-year-old co-star to fellow cast and crew members, insisting the pair are just friends and that he actually met her boyfriend. Although he denies any romance, the pair were reportedly getting cozy during their weekend away at Woolloomooloo hotel Blue. Hartnett was spotted with his arm around Sainsbury as they left Darlinghurst cafe Forbes and Burton on Sunday morning after having breakfast there for the second day in a row. An onlooker says, "Josh got jumped on by a few different people to get photos taken, so she went outside the cafe. But when he eventually went out he put his arm around her as they walked across the street. There was a level of intimacy there." Paparazzi caught up with the couple as they were flying out of Sydney on Sunday night, with Hartnett telling photographers to "get f**ked", while Sainsbury tried to cover her face with her jacket and bag.
