Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Music, Charity, Kind Acts,
Sandra Bullock gave a surprise serenade at the Nashville Rising: A Benefit Concert for Flood Recovery show on Tuesday.
The Oscar winning-actress - who has only recently begun a return to public life following revelations of her husband Jesse James’ affair with tattoo model Michelle “Bombshell” McGee - joked with crowds at the charity event at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee after learning the show had raised over $2 million.
Walking onto the stage holding an acoustic guitar, Sandra - who was there to introduce singer Faith Hill - told the crowd, “When they told me how much you all contributed, I realized I had to do more than be funny. I’m going to bring the house down. And I’m going to do it Nashville style!”

John McCain Cares About Snooki’s Tanning Bed
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Television, Kind Acts,
When Snooki speaks, politicians apparently listen. The Jersey Shore star recently lamented about the 10 percent sales tax President Obama placed on her precious tanning beds, and who was there in an instant to offer a shoulder to cry on? John McCain.
“U r right, I would never tax your tanning bed! Pres Obama’s tax/spend policy is quite The Situation. but I do rec wearing sunscreen!” the senator posted on his Twitter page.
I don’t know what’s most shocking: the fact that John McCain uses Twitter, the fact that he watches Jersey Shore, or the fact that his Twitter post doesn’t seem to resemble a statement from a 73 year-old senator.

Lady Gaga Picks Up Pub Tab, Inspired by Liverpool
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Kind Acts,
Talk about kind deeds—Lady Gaga picked up a bar tab for an entire Birmingham pub.
The “Alejandro” singer - who is currently back in the UK for the second time on her Monster Ball tour - went to The Prince of Wales pub on Wednesday, and treated locals to a round of drinks and left a huge tip at the bar. A source inside the pub told The Sun, “Everyone was stunned when this striking blonde came in. Most of the blokes had no idea who she was at first. She sat at the bar with a pal for two hours, downing spirits and scribbling notes. She told the locals how much she was enjoying having a drink on a day off because she can’t handle drinking before a show. She signed autographs for staff and left a huge tip - a few hundred pounds.”
The 24-year-old took to Twitter to talk about her time in the pub and confessed she was writing a new song there: “In a Pub in England, ruining bar napkins with lyrics and memories. Dreams are never weak like we are, drunk or sober.(sic)”
Recently Lady Gaga confessed she had written a brand new song while in Liverpool. Writing on her fan site Gagadaily.com, she said, “I’ve already written the first single for the new album and I promise you, that this album is the greatest of my career. It is the anthem for our generation. I wrote for you because of you, when I was in Liverpool, I wrote the greatest music I’ve ever written.”

With endless nice comments her way and possibly dating one of the hottest werewolves around, is there anything this 19 year-old doesn’t have or cannot do?

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Charity, Kind Acts, Rumors,
Shakira thought her parents were “the most incompetent business people in the world” when she was eight.
The “She Wolf” singer said she was upset and frightened when her father, a jeweler, went bankrupt and had to sell most of the family possessions when she was a child. The experience did, however, lead them give her a lesson she has never forgot about true poverty.
“I couldn’t believe my parents! I thought they were the most incompetent business people in the world! And I was so upset. My dad and my mom took me to the park that day, where all the kids who were orphans are sniffing glue to deal with the tragedy of their own lives and hunger and the solitude of their lives. Little kids, like my age, sniffing glue and barefoot. They just wanted to show me another reality that was much worse than mine. Those images of those kids left a huge impression.”
Shakira, who found fame in her native Columbia as a teenager, later went on to establish the Pies Descalzos Foundation, a charity which sets up special schools for underprivileged children across her home country. She is also a UNICEF Goodwill ambassador and regularly performs at benefit concerts around the globe.
In February she also opened a new $6 million school in her hometown Barranquilla sponsored by herself and the Pies Descalzos Foundation.

Although Megan Fox may want to kill him sometimes, she definitely makes up for her crazy

Celebrity fashion designer Victoria Beckham is “delighted” that her son is undertaking charity work.
Brooklyn Beckham, the star’s eldest child with husband David Beckham, visited poverty-stricken state Kentucky with Save The Children after learning about the state at his exclusive school in Los Angeles.
The 10-year-old youngster played soccer with children at Manchester Elementary School and presented them with shoes and backpacks, before joining in with an after-school reading group. He and Victoria then went to read with children at nearby Big Creek Elementary school.
“I’m pleased Brooklyn is learning that by helping and joining other children he can play a role in making his generation the greatest yet. Seeing Save the Children’s innovative programs in action, I know that we can begin to reverse the childhood poverty crisis,” Victoria said.

John Mayer Offers Advice to Tween Artists
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Music, Television, Child Stars, Charity, Kind Acts,
We all knew that John Mayer was fairly obsessed with Twitter—this is the guy who told us that his penis fell asleep. Who knew that he’d let this obsession get to his head so much that he feels the need to offer advice to everyone?
Seeming to have gained insight into the mind of a 16 year-old icon due to his affinity for Twitter, Mayer commented on Miley Cyrus’s departure from the social networking site: “She’s smart enough to realize there is some interference of the brain that she doesn’t want to deal with… I think if you’re in Miley’s situation, it might take a little too much time to play goalie for your own heart and mind.”

Elton John Plans to Adopt Ukrainian
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Charity, Kind Acts, Rumors,
UPDATE: John and Furnish will not we allowed to take home the boy after all. Ukrainian national law prohibits unmarried and/or same-sex couples to adopt.
It seems as if Sir Elton John caught whatever bug Katherine Heigl contracted, as he now wants to adopt a Ukrainian toddler who “stole his heart.”
The veteran pop star and his husband David Furnish “would love” to adopt 14-month-old Lev after spending time with him at an orphanage for babies with HIV or who have parents with the disease.
“David and I have always talked about adoption. David always wanted to adopt a child and I always said ‘no’ because I’m 62, and I think because of the traveling I do and the life I have, maybe it wouldn’t be fair for the child. But seeing Lev today, I would love to adopt him. I don’t know how we do that, but he has stolen my heart. And he has stolen David’s heart and it would be wonderful if we can have a home. I’ve changed my mind today. He’s such a scrumptious thing, bless his heart.”
According to orphanage worker Olga Rudneva, Elton said he didn’t mind if Lev was HIV positive or not. The tot’s mother reportedly lives near the children’s home, but has not visited her son since she gave him to the center.
