Christina Aguilera was the honoree of the day at Variety’s 1st Annual Power of Women Luncheon at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills today (September 24).

The multi-Grammy award winner was recognized for her philanthropic efforts to fight hunger as global spokesperson for Yum! Brands, KFC, Pizza Hut and Taco Bell’s annual World Hunger Relief campaign.

Variety acknowledged Xtina, along with seven other of Hollywood’s most philanthropically impactful women in entertainment, who through her efforts, has made a significant difference to the World Hunger Relief campaign.

“As a mom, I can’t accept that even one child could go hungry or that a child dies every six seconds from hunger. That’s why I’m so passionate about this cause,” says the lady of the hour. “World Hunger Relief makes a huge difference by providing relief for millions of hungry people, especially schoolchildren in developing countries. I hope by lending my voice to this cause I can raise awareness and move millions of people and children from hunger to hope.”

Celebrity attendees on hand at the charitable event included the likes of Anne Hathaway and Christina Applegate.
