Uma Thurman and Tommy Lee Jones to Co-Host Nobel Peace Concert

Nobel Peace Concert to Honor Al Gore and Panel on Climate Change

Organizers announced Wednesday that Uma Thurman and Tommy Lee Jones will co-host December's Nobel Peace Concert, which will honor former Vice President Al Gore and the U.N.'s climate change panel, according to a report by the Associated Press.

The concert will be held in Oslo, Norway on December 11, the day after the Nobel Peace Prize is presented. Top musicians like Alicia Keys, Annie Lenox and Melissa Etheridge will perform in the concert, which will air in more than 100 countries.

Tommy Lee Jones and Al Gore were roommates at Harvard University, and Etheridge won an Academy Award this year for the "I Need to Wake Up" that was featured in Gore's "An Inconvenient Truth."

Uma Thurman "brings iconic style and substance to the event and will help us tremendously in our mission of spreading the global message of peace," said Geir Lundestad, the secretary of the Nobel Peace Prize committee.

The Nobel will go to both Al Gore and the intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for their efforts in spreading awareness about man-made climate change.
