What does one do when she's not busy steaming up the set of Showtime's hit series the L Word (which returns for its sixth and final season in early 2009)?

> If you're Jennifer Beals (above center) you spend your time training for a triathlon. Inspired by the three legs of the Vancouver triathlon she'll run on September 1 -- an ocean swim, a bike course, and a run -- Beals has chosen three charities to raise funds for: the Matthew Shepherd Foundation, the Pediatric Cancer Center at Children's Hospital of Los Angeles, and the I Live Here Foundation (founded by her costar Mia Kirshner). For more info and to help support Beals and her bevy of good causes visit OurChart.com.

> If you're Leisha Hailey (above left) -- who was once one half of the folk-rock duo the Murmurs -- you team up with buddy Camila Grey (who has previously collaborated with Dr. Dre and Busta Rhymes), brand yourselves Uh Huh Her and cook up a debut album of dreamy, seductive electro. Their debut album, Common Reaction, is out today from Nettwerk Records. Check out the video for the first single "Not a Love Song":
