HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — The stars stepped out Tuesday night for the 4th Annual USA Today Hollywood Hero Awards Gala honoring Ashley Judd at the Montage Beverly Hills Hotel.

The USA Today Hollywood Hero Award is presented annually to an entertainment industry humanitarian who has made remarkable contributions of time and energies with non-profit organizations dedicated to enriching the quality of life for others. The USA Today Hollywood Hero Award recipient is unique in that his or her efforts extend far beyond charitable contributions or lending one's celebrity to enhance a cause or concern.

Since 2002, Judd has served as Global Ambassador for PSI's (Population Services International) HIV education and prevention program, YouthAIDS.

Among the celebrities in attendance were Morgan Freeman, Debra Messing, Eva Amurri, Mandy Moore and Molly Sims.
