Art Auction Charity Haiti Jennifer Aniston Justin Theroux

JENNIFER ANISTON IS GIVING IT AWAY

We actually think Jennifer Aniston has been inspired by Angelina and Brad’s charitable ways and decided to open her bulging wallet and make a grand gesture. Jennifer is the first to admit how lucky she is and what an extraordinary life she has. She’s always been very generous with her friends, but her $450,000 purchase of a piece of art with the proceeds going to Haitian health and education, is a big step for her. The stark grey oil and charcoal painting (above) was only expected to sell for around $150,000 but Jen was exceedingly generous. It makes her feel good and look good. Her auction date Justin Theroux must have been quite impressed.

Charity Haiti I Put A Spell On You Johnny Depp Shane MacGowan The Pogues

SHANE MACGOWAN, JOHNNY DEPP, AND FRIENDS PUT A SPELL ON YOU FOR A REASON

Now HERE’S a charity song you can sink your teeth into. Our insightful colleague Lisa Derrick at The Huffington Post obviously has a thing for Shane MacGowan like we do. She revealed that Shane gathered up some buddies including Johnny Depp, Nick Cave, and Chrissie Hynde, to record a new version of Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ classic “I Put a Spell on You” to raise money for Haiti. It’s cool to see Shane and Johnny together again and the song is a lot less sappy than most fundraising songs – give it a listen. (By the way, what happened to Shane’s “new” teeth?)

Haitians beware! According to the Huffington Post, John Travolta and his wife Kelly just flew a planeload of food and medical supplies from Florida to the desperate earthquake victims, but there’s a price to pay. The people handing out the food and necessities will be Scientology “ministers” – that translates to “recruiters.” Hungry Haitians will have to endure lectures and “personality tests” before they can benefit from the relief supplies. With Scientology, there are always strings attached.
