Hamels, who appeared in Playboy and on Survivor, is exploiting her connections, promising to import Playmates as well as such folks as Richard Hatch to Union Trust steak house in Center City. Comcast SportsNet's Michael Barkann will host.
It's called Diamonds & Denim because jeweler Bernie Robbins has kicked in a diamond and guests are expected to wear denim.
The goal, Hamels says, is $250,000, and about half the proceeds will go to Philadelphia schools. Most of the $300 tickets, sold through www.thehamelsfoundation.org, are gone.
And something else charitable is going on, but it is not clear what: Hip-hop/R&B hit maker Jay Sean met at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City on Friday with the Philadelphia affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure. Sean emerged from a conference room with a video crew, several former NFL cheerleaders, and lawyer Lori Landew of Cozen O'Connor. No one would divulge the topic of the meeting.

After his first win as a Phillies pitcher Wednesday, Roy Oswalt and three buddies were spotted having a late dinner at Rouge on Rittenhouse Square. Their next stop, says my source, was the McDonald's around the corner on Walnut Street - which was closed. Oswalt, therefore, was shut out.
