Gwen Stefani donates $1 million to Japan

Just like Sandra Bullock did, Gwen Stefani is donating $1 million to Japan relief effort.  It totally makes sense, she's in love with Japan.





It's no secret that the Harajuku district has long motivated the No Doubt singer's creativity as she explains on the band's website, "I've been inspired by Japan for many years and have a true love, appreciation and respect for the Japanese people and their culture. The disaster in Japan is beyond heartbreaking and I want to do anything I can to help. I would never be able to make a gesture like this without the love and support of all the fans over all these years."







Gwen is also planning a charity auction in L.A. as well as releasing a limited edition Harajuku Lovers T-shirt, which she designed, with all the proceeds going to the relief effort in Japan. It will be available on nodoubt.com.



Like, she just can't get any cooler.

Sandra Bullock donates $1 million to Japan

And this is why she's cool.





CNN reports Sandra Bullock has donated $1 million to the Red Cross to help with the tsunami and earthquake relief efforts in Japan.  I bet this woman has ZERO bad karma, I feel like she does no wrong.



And sadly, as of right now the death toll in Japan has climbed above 6,400. There are still over 10,000 people missing as well.  Heartbreaking.

Beibz hair sold for $40,668

At the end of last month, Justin Bieber trimmy trimmed his signature Biebz bowl and, with the help of Ellen DeGeneres, put his strays up on Ebay for charity. The auction has now ended with the winning bid of $40,668 according to the Huffington Post. This sickens me.



At least you know some teenage girl didn't blow her parents life savings on it, because the highest bidder was a casino... Oh great, now they're going to make a new slot machine with the "jackpot" being a ziplock bag of Bieber fur. Actually, no they're not. Instead of hoarding the hairs to themselves, they're putting it on tour with Justin to raise even more money for charity. Uhh... how? Look at Bieber's dried out ends behind glass for a dollar?  Sniff it for 5 dollars?  STEP RIGHT UP.



In other J.B. news... Belieb this when I tell you he's turning into a little badass. Now that he's 17-years-old, Justin Bieber is flipping off photographers... (via The Superficial)





AND motorboating his girlfriend Selena Gomez (also via The Superficial). "Motorboatin' son of a bitch!"





Next up, hitting the bong with Miley Cyrus, followed by holding up a jewelry store with Lindsay Lohan, ending with trashing the Plaza Hotel with Charlie Sheen.

Nice manicure

Adam Levine is so charitable!



The Maroon 5 frontman (I still think that's a lame band name) posed nekkid for the February issue of Cosmopolitan magazine to remind other dudes to get checked out regularly for prostate and testis cancer.  [Photo via DListed]





That's very kind of you and all, but how many guys actually read Cosmo?  Uhhh...

"Dead" celebrity charity backfire

In case you have been wondering why Kim Kardashian hasn't been retweeting the daily kiss ass compliments her followers tweet her, it's because the broad is "digitally dead" along with a bunch of other celebs.



Alicia Keys, Ryan Seacrest, Lady Gaga, Justin Timberlake and more signed off their social networking sites yesterday and won't return until $1 million has been raised for people living with AIDS/HIV in India and Africa.



For higher impact/creepy effect, each celeb posed in a coffin.  While Alicia Keys looks peaceful, Kim Kardashian couldn't look more slutty.





The arm above her head?  Maybe some people (hookers) look like that when they're FOUND dead, but nobody would put you in a coffin like that.  Come onnn.



Anyway, these celebs probably thought this shit would be a breeze and they'd be back on Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, and EHarmony in no time but DListed reports so far only $162,000 has been donated.  That's because the majority of people are like wait-- we can get Kim Kardashian off Twitter??



Maybe instead of this stupid "I'm playing dead" thing (even my dog thinks it's silly), these rich ass celebs should be donating their OWN damn money too.  But you know every single one of them is loving it and probably fantasizes about their actual deaths with all the media coverage they would get... sickos.

Facebook founder donates $100 million

Mark Zuckerberg, the 26-year-old co-founder and chief executive of Facebook, is planning on donating $100 million to Newark, New Jersey schools.  And if you're thinking, "holy shit that's a lot of money!", the guy is worth $6.9 billion (6.8 now...) sooo... not to him!





CNN reports the Harvard dropout (had to throw that in there) doesn't have any personal ties to Newark, but the district has one of the worst public school systems in America.  Also, one of the shittiest airports.  Anyway, ZuckerFace is expected to make the official announcement on Oprah tomorrow, who is all about saving schools this season like she was all about not texting and driving last season...



Skeptics are questioning the timing of the donation though, as it is daaaangerously close to the release of The Social Network, a biopic depicting the creation of Facebook which apparently doesn't portray Zuckerberg very nicely...  Yeah, and it also comes the same day Facebook crashed worldwide!  Coincidence?  I think not...



And finally, a random fact... Mark Zuckerberg is only the 35th richest person in the United States and 212th in the word!  WHAT THE FUCK.  6.9 billion doesn't even crack the Top 10?  There needs to be a dislike button for that shit.
