Good Deeds

When Jake Davidson got the idea to ask two-time Sports Illustrated covergirl Kate Upton to his senior prom, he posted a YouTube video to get her attention. But since Kate is nothing if not magical, she gave a surprise response on Wednesday morning's 'Today' show.

The always-sublime Pink earned herself more awesome points last weekend when, as she was performing at the Wells Fargo Center in Philly on March 17, she stopped mid-song to comfort a young fan.

Britney Spears got herself some karma points this week. The erstwhile 'X Factor' coach plunked down a Benjamin for a complete stranger, solidifying our desire to hug her forever.

Madonna honored longtime pal and recently out Anderson Cooper at the 2013 GLAAD Media Awards -- but of course, it wouldn't be Madonna if she didn't get herself some media attention of her own at the same time. The 'MDNA' songstress took to the stage in a Boy Scouts uniform as she presented the award to Cooper, making a bold, cheeky and rather admirable statement about the Boy Scouts of America's l

A while back, interview and microphone-shy supermodel Kate Moss promised BBC1 listeners that if they donated at least £200,000 (that's roughly $300,000 USD) to the Comic Relief charity, she'd read an excerpt from “erotic” mom-porn novel 'Fifty Shades of Grey' live on the air. They did -- so on Thursday, March 14, Moss held up her end of the bargain.

Members of the media quite often end up interviewing celebrities and dignitaries. Most of the time they do their best on these press junkets to maintain their professionalism and not become star-struck -- but every once in a while, even they have to break character. Especially when it’s your daughter and you're interviewing her big crush: Ryan Gosling.

When singer and pianist Billy Joel went to Vanderbilt University in January for a Q&A session on campus, he probably didn't think he'd get to play Fairy Godfather (it's a thing because we say it is). But by the end of the night, he was practically holding a magic wand -- because he gave one dude the experience of a lifetime.

After being reprimanded by the Girl Scouts of America for selling its famous cookies to her fan base online, Honey Boo Boo switched to selling the overpriced but delicious treats the old-fashioned way: at the mall with handmade signs. Someone should really call Ryan Gosling. He might be in for a few hundred boxes himself.

Recently, the Boy Scouts of America organization has been getting more and more flak for its decision to ban openly gay members -- and now you can add ‘Call Me Maybe’ singer Carly Rae Jepsen to the unhappy masses. She's expressed her displeasure quite publicly by canceling her appearance at a BSA concert.

After a long stay in what many considered to be a glass closet, the now openly gay Anderson Cooper is being honored by the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (more commonly known as GLAAD) -- and none other than Madonna.

Outspoken Republican Clint Eastwood is distancing himself from one aspect of his buddy Mitt Romney's platform: gay marriage. Turns out the erstwhile Dirty Harry is totally down with dudes wedding dudes.

Charlie Sheen is a Hollywood antihero, but he wants to be an actual hero for Lindsay Lohan, who he considers a friend -- a friend without any benefits at all.

In addition to allegedly bragging about how amazing he is, Leonardo DiCaprio is using his break from acting for good and not evil: to save animals being harvested for their parts. Specifically, rhinos and tigers and elephants (oh my!) by partnering with the World Wildlife Federation for its Hands Off My Parts campaign. And really, if anyone's going to be involved in an initiative called Hands Off

Charlie Sheen continues to use his money for the powers of good, racking up karmic bonus points and making it that much harder to judge him when he's an asshat. In addition to helping clothe Lindsay Lohan, paying for funerals and assisting young cancer patients, Sheen has now donated $10,000 to get a formerly paralyzed teenager a therapy dog.

In a fake PSA that's probably meant to go viral, actor Matt Damon explains to a staged yet bewildered crowd that he has boycotted going to the bathroom to support Water.org, the non-profit he co-founded.

Adam Lambert is once again making his birthday a happy one -- not just for himself, either. The 'American Idol' alum is encouraging his super-loyal fans to donate $31 each to charity in honor of his big 3-1.

Newark, N.J. mayor Cory Booker is at it again. The social media-savvy politico and all-around nice guy once again swooped into action -- this time saving a dog left outside in the freezing cold with an assist from his trusty sidekick Twitter.

We honestly thought we couldn't love Ryan Gosling any more than we already do -- until he went on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live' and told a story about how he bought an entire Girl Scout troop's cookie supply and drove around handing out boxes to random strangers like a deranged cookie fairy.

Dammit, Charlie Sheen. Just when we decide you're a bigoted tool and get comfortable making fun of your thing for porn stars again, you go off and do something (else) nice.

Whether she's adopting the orphans of the world or taking care of the sick, Angelina Jolie seems poised to make the world a better place, one good deed at a time. This time around, the stunner helped one of her longtime wardrobe ladies who's suffering from breast cancer and too sick to work.
