howard overlooked again

[tHISisKiSSeL]

NSAL shouldn't qualify as a charity anyway.

for some reason I always thought Wiggo donated but on the low with no media attention, and of course I was wrong. How can u be so wealthy and not try to help people? enough with the fckn dogs...

Out of those 20 people on that list, I know who george is (only because of THSS, not Star Trek) and I know who Ben affleck is. The rest of the list I recognize a couple of names but wouldn't recognize the people if they knocked on my front door. And most of them I've never even heard of. Apparently they are all very rich and their accountant told them they needed to donate massive amounts of cash by the end of the year for tax purposes.

George Takei is light years ahead of Howard in terms of intelligence, compassion and working for OTHER people, no just himself. It was really tacky of Howard to pretend he knew nothing about George's contributions on FB and Twitter. He has actual thoughts of his own and is strong enough express them, no matter what Howard thinks.

surely there was an oversight in this article. people are simply jealous of howard & beth's generosity.

george is a good man.



DoSomething.org, a non-profit organization that aims to harness teen's "awesome energy" and unleash it on causes they care about, has announced the 20 Most Charitable Celebrities of 2012 and Taylor Swift topped the list!


While the singer was snagging headlines and trophies for her diary-like music, she was also donating serious chunks of cash to important organizations (she gave $4 million to the Country Hall of Fame Museum). Swift also spent hours vising with young cancer victims and became the youngest person to ever receive the Ripple of Hope Award from the Robert F. Kennedy Center for her charity work.


Coming in at number two was Miley Cyrus, no stranger to headlines either. But she garnered all this DoSomething.org ink because she dedicated the last 365 days to promoting Saving Spot! Rescue, a non-profit that is dedicated to finding dogs from high-kill shelters a home. She also embraced TOMS'One Day Without Shoes challenge and helped raise awareness for Save The Music Foundation, theStarkey Hearing Foundation, and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.


Channing Tatum was not only one of ETonline's Entertainers of the Year, but also the most charitable man on DoSomething.org's list at number three. The Sexiest Man Alive helped raise millions for theRainforest Foundation back in April. And along with wife, the newly-pregnant Jenna Dewan-Tatum, Channing supports Angels for Animals and sponsored abused farm animals through Gentle Barn.


Lady Gaga ranked at number four, thanks in no small part to her Born This Way Foundation, which combats bullying and promotes acceptance of the LGBT community. Gaga also pledged $1 million to Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. Rounding out the top 5 was Justin Bieber. His Believe Charity Driveraised over $1 million for charity, while he also works with Pencils of Promise to build schools in third-world countries, visits young cancer patients and donated $100,000 so homeless kids could go to school.

But do any of them love animoes?

Howard will say he thinks he was invited to be on the list but he turned them down.

Someone needs to explain to these people that being charitible is not "helping raise millions". Charity is giving $2M of your own cash. Giving up nothing but your time (in exchange for publicity and good will) is not charity. Mowing some old lady's lawn is charity. Attending parties is not.

Just like Howard wants to be considered a "partner" without investing any money.
