Names: Dushku and Rick Fox in Uganda

Eliza Dushku and former Celtic Rick Fox, who've been spotted as a twosome over the past few months, left this morning for Uganda. The duo is on a trip organized by Dushku's mom, Judith, a government professor at Suffolk University. The Dushkus, Fox, and students in the elder Dushku's class about human trafficking in Uganda will spend 15 days touring the country and meeting with humanitarians and former soldiers. Judith told us her daughter is more than ready for the trip. "I took her to the Soviet Union before she was 12," Judith said. "I sent her to China when she was 14. I sent her to South Africa when she was 20. . . . She's quite comfortable traveling around the world." Judith said Eliza and Rick share a Boston connection - and an acting coach. They've both worked with Boston University's Peter Kelley, who has also trained Dane Cook. Also on the trip is Alicia Winn, executive director of the Boston Initiative to Advance Human Rights, and documentary maker Libby Spears, who will be filming the trip.



ROFL @ Rick Fox. Remember his "acting career"? I loved that scene where he played a Reggae massage/male hooker dude? So bad it makes Paris Hilton's acting look good.
I get it, shes a somewhat-good looking local girl made good but she has been linked to some real zeros.
Zeros??? Rick Fox is a 3 time NBA champ and wore the number 17 with the Lakers cause he dreamed that he would have won #17 with the Celtics.
However, he is a terrible actor. But he did get Vanessa Williams.
Rick Fox, Eliza Dushku and Dane Cook.... That's some resume for an acting coach....
jealousy is such an ugly attribute.
Like Brad Penny......
She is chubby chaser...LOL
So they are dating?
Yo, Rick --- I'm a Bostonian in Bududa district in Eastern Uganda managing a pediatric clinic -- look me up!
Say what you want about Fox's so-called "acting career". The brother does manage to pull in some Grade A quality tail.
YOU SHOULD ALL BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES, HES A GREAT GUY AND A SUPPORTS MANY CHARITIES, LOOK IT UP.....
I'm just glad to see a pair who defy stereotypes so well. I imagine that acting was a fluke for both of these 2 (She got picked for an early movie role, the only thing of hers that I haven't seen, and he because he married and had a child with an actress), both admire education over show, he's a very devoted father, she's devoted to her family over her career, and for God's sake, thier trying to stop HUMAN TRAFFICKING; ie slavery. Can you really get a better cause, other than battling a pandemic? At least that kills you quicker, rather than years of degradation and abuse! One of teh reason's ms Dushku's career hasn't been awesome is that she went out of her way to go to University-gotta give props.
