TV style gurus Trinny and Susannah are making coffee cups the must-have accessory as they launched a charity drive.
The pair are supporting a new Starbucks campaign which will help raise money people with HIV and Aids in Africa.
The coffee chain has teamed up with (RED) to make a donation every time customers buy a special take-away tumbler and use a new loyalty card.
ITV presenters Trinny Woodall and Susannah Constantine were at a central London branch of Starbucks to launch the fundraising effort.
Trinny said: "This is something you do every day anyway, so why not make it a part of your giving?
"I think it's a very good time of year to launch it, because going towards Christmas it's that traditional time of goodwill - it's a sense of, you get something for yourself and you do something for somebody else."
For each tumbler sold, £3 will go towards the Global Fund charity, while five pence will be donated for every use of the Starbucks (RED) card.

A recent on-stage routine by Russell Brand landed him in hot water. It prompted a police warning about hoax or "frivolous" calls and resulted in the comedian issuing a statement of apology.

MOVIES
So, it’s about an old man flying away on an adventure by attaching a huge bunch of helium balloons to his house. Even for the talented craftspeople at Pixar, who successfully brought us a near-silent film about robots last year, this seems far-fetched. We needn’t have worried though. Up is the best Pixar film since Toy Story.

With Wimbledon 2009 in full swing, err… serve, the top tennis players from around the world are focused entirely on their game. As they run up and down the court screaming with exertion, the rest of us non-pros can't help but judge them on something other than their passing shots; that's right, how good looking they are.
