Good for her. We are saving the environment next month. We’ll keep you posted.
Stars sing R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts” for Haiti
2We were wondering why Mariah Carey didn’t do anything for Haiti as she is a very charitable person if we may say so ourselves. This is a remake of R.E.M.’s classic “Everybody Hurts.” The line-up includes Kylie Minogue, Leona Lewis, Gary Barlow, Cheryl Cole, Robbie Williams, MIKA, Rod Stewart, Miley Cyrus, James Morrison, Jon Bon Jovi and Susan Boyle.
Madonna sings “Like A Prayer” for Haiti benefit

She actually nailed it. Her face looked like a floatation device, but she did nail the song.
Secular donations for Haiti

We wanted to post this earlier, but we were looking for secular charities to post so we had to do some looking around. The catastrophe that the island of Hispaniola has suffered it’s not a small one and the great tragedy has not passed, people need relief and aid at this time in order to survive or the country will delve into a civil war or massive unrest. At any rate, we went ahead a compiled a list of secular charities that might help out without discriminating.

Lady GaGa’s PSA on LGBT homeless youth
Video: “All You Need Is Love” by Various Artists
This one slipped under the radar, mainly because of the fact that you need star power for it to be full-on. The only people we care for are Heather Small from M People, whom we dearly miss, Paloma Faith, one quarter of The Corrs and, did we see Katie Melua in there somewhere?
Lady GaGa and Cyndi Lauper pose for MAC cosmetics

Legend Cyndi Lauper and upcoming legendary child Lady GaGa have posed together for MAC cosmetics surgery (above). We love both but we can’t help but think that the money to hire the re-toucher could have been spared for charity. GaGa actually looks aesthetically good. That doesn’t happen much. But, we still love her.

A billion for a billion…
Get liberal and get rich
Ideas are pouring in to fix this global economic crisis. From legalizing marijuana to decriminalizing prostitution to revisiting Karl Marx’s theories to legalizing gay marriage to salary ceilings to supporting worker unions to being eco-friendly and now: the supposedly new and great idea of battling corruption.
It’s amazing how all these great liberal ideas have been floating around for centuries and they only get attention when people feel the pinch of the penny. People get liberal when they need the money, is that how it goes?
Kylie Minogue does “Monkey Man”
Don’t get your pop fighting gloves out yet, this is just a harmless single for UNICEF. Kylie’s been doing quite a bit of charity in between albums. This and the concert for the bush fire charities.
It is also rumored that her nephew is a big fan of the show.
Kylie duets with Coldplay…
1
I just heard the song a couple of time. It’s called “Lhuna” and it features great vocals by Kylie (think “I Believe In You” meets “Fix You”). It’s making the internet rounds. Get it. Or buy it. It’s for charity. World AIDS Day, that is.
Björk releases “Nattura”
2
It’s on iTunes. It’s experimental and very cluttered and I honestly can’t see how anyone would listen to it without getting a cluster headache. But, since its Björk… I am just going to blame at as an evolutionary misstep or a charity singles gone awry.
