A Lil' Positivity: Eminem Unites w/ Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber & Madonna To Stop Hunger

A-list stars like Lady GaGa, Justin Bieber, Eminem and Madonna have joined hands to support Save the Children's "I'm Gonna Be Your Friend" campaign.



Using their social media power, they aim to raise funds and awareness for the drought, medicine and food crisis in East Africa.



The campaign is kicked off on Tuesday, August 9 with the celebrities taking to their Twitter or Facebook pages to raise awareness. Britney Spears was among the early ones, tweeting

"Just got @BobMarley's "High Tide or Low Tide" - proceeds go to children in #EastAfrica. U all can help #beafriend -Brit".

Bob Marley's tune was personally chosen by his family to accompany a Kevin Macdonald-directed short movie about the appalling condition in Africa. The singer's widow Rita said,

"Not one child should be denied food nor water. Not one child should suffer. Along with Save the Children, we must stand up together as friends to put a stop to this, to feed our children and to save their lives."

The video would be sold digitally with all proceeds going to Save the Children. The celebrities will continue raising the awareness until they have an audience of 700 million.

Michael Jackson's Home Turned Into A Museum!

Michael Jackson fans are being presented with the opportunity to catch a glimpse of their idol’s home which is being recreated for a world exclusive exhibition in the Republic of Ireland.

Newbridge Silverware Museum of Style Icons in Co Kildare will display, until May, 30 pieces of furniture personally commissioned by the King of Pop for the Kent mansion where he planned to live in during his comeback concerts.

The items, including a luxurious 16ft sofa and a feather-trimmed armchair hand picked for Elizabeth Taylor, will later go under the hammer at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas by celebrity agents Julien’s Auctions.

Phil Donnelly, of Newbridge Silverware, revealed two 40ft containers were used to transport the 17 items of custom-built furniture overseas for the exclusive showing.

“This is literally going to be what Michael Jackson’s home was going to be like during those series of concerts. ‘Fans are going to get the chance to see it themselves,” the Telegraph quoted her as saying.

She added:

“We felt we would be honoured to hold this event. It’s in celebration of him and a tribute.”

A part of the proceeds from the sale are to be donated to charities MusiCares and Joshua’s Heart.

Ne-Yo Says Chris Brown/ Rihanna Fight Was "Unacceptable" & Donates Song Proceeds to Abuse Charity...

R&B singer NE-YO is backing a campaign against domestic violence, citing the 2009 fight between ex-lovers CHRIS BROWN and RIHANNA as "unacceptable."

The singer is donating proceeds from his new single Heroes to nonprofit organization Respect!, which aims to end abuse and promote respect in relationships.

And he spoke out against Brown's actions when he debuted the track at New York venue SL on Tuesday (Feb. 2, 2010), according to New York Post.

He told the crowd, "What happened between Chris Brown and Rihanna was unacceptable, and we need to all work together and make sure it never happens again, to anyone."

Sandra Bullock, Jay-Z, Madonna, Lady Gaga & More Donate Millions! Russel Simmons Prematurely Says Tiger Woods Donated 3Mil, it's FALSE??

Sandra Bullock said she donated US$1 million (NZ$1.35) toward Haitian earthquake relief, and Madonna announced she gave US$250,000 (NZ$338,685) toward the effort as celebrity aid continued to pour into the devastated country.

Bullock's contribution went to Doctors Without Borders' emergency operations in Port-Au-Prince, where three of the organisation's existing facilities were damaged by the magnitude 7.0 quake.

"I wanted to ensure that my donation would be used immediately to meet the needs of the Haitian people affected by this catastrophic event," said Bullock in a statement.
Madonna's gift was to Partners In Health, a longtime medical provider in Haiti.
"I urge all of my friends and fans around the world to join me collectively to match my contribution or give in any way you can," she said. "We must act now."

Despite the controversy still surrounding his name, the scandal-hit Woods is donating $3 million for assistance in the rescue and relief effort in earthquake-ravaged Haiti.

Woods reportedly is planning to make the donation, consisting of doctors and supplies to Wyclef Jean, through media mogul Russell Simmons.

The disgraced golf pro Woods will give the weighty sum to Haiti native Wyclef Jean’s Yele foundation in the hopes of creating a mobile hospital.

"Tiger Woods is working on sending a mobile hospital with 50 EMTs to go set up a triage," Simmon tweeted.

Word is, Rus prematurely tweeted about Tiger's donation. Tiger Woods has not yet pledged any money to the ongoing relief effort in Haiti, said the head of his charitable foundation.

"We're currently researching the most effective plan to aid in the relief effort. Historically, we have found being part of the rebuilding effort to be the most effective approach for the Foundation."

Earlier Friday, Not On Our Watch, an advocacy and grantmaking group founded by George Clooney, Brad Pitt and others, donated $1 million to Partners in Health.

George Clooney, who plans to host a telethon 22 January along with other celebrities, and Lady GaGa, who announced that all of the proceeds from her 24 January Monster Ball show in New York will also go towards helping the earthquake-stricken country.

You can purchase merchandise from LadyGaga.com on the 24th – all of those proceeds will go to helping Haiti as well.

Jay-Z, U2 and Swizz Beatz teamed up to record a song to aid in the relief effort. On Saturday, producer Swizz Beats hinted via Twitter that the project was in the works. "Me, Bono, Hova, have something to say about Haiti stay tunned [sic]," he wrote. "I told you I was working on something amazing for Haiti they need us!!!!"
