LeAnn Designs a Pony for Charity

The stars of the TV drama "Boston Legal" are taking a break from the lives of their oversexed, ego-driven characters to channel sunshine and rainbows.

William Shatner, James Spader and Candace Bergen are among the celebrities and artists who've agreed to design "My Little Ponies," the plastic toy that's captivated girly girls since the 1980s.

Pawtucket-based Hasbro Inc. will auction the special ponies for the Give Kids The World Village charity as part of a celebration of the toy's 25th anniversary.

The celebrities and artists were given blank, 18-inch versions of the usual 4-inch-tall ponies to decorate.

Other designers include Grammy-winning singer LeAnn Rimes, 1980s teen idol Deborah Gibson and actor Danny Aiello, known for his roles in "Moonstruck" and "Do the Right Thing."
