DoSomething.org, one of the largest U.S. organizations that helps teens take action on causes they care about, released today its fourth annual ‘Top 20 Celebs Gone Good’ list.

Lady Gaga continues her reign as the star who uses her celebrity to do the most good.

She also announced the creation of her own charity, the Born This Way Foundation, which aims to empower youth and lead them to a brave new society where each individual is accepted and loved as the person they were born to be.

Making a meteoric rise to number two this year is Justin Bieber, up from number 10 last year.

Justin is also a consistent supporter of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, raised funds for charity with his fragrance and holiday album, and recently distributed $100,000 to Whitney Elementary School in Las Vegas.

Mon, 21 Mar 2011 12:30:00 +0000

Actor Will Smith and his buddy Charlie Mack Alston have donated 29 top-of-the-line Apple laptops to a high school in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, after learning that students had stolen sixty computers from the school.

Smith, who grew up in nearby Wynnefield, West Philadelphia, was prompted to take action after learning of the theft from his pal Charlie Mack-Alston.

According to Philly.com: ‘Alston, who broke into the Hollywood scene by doing security for Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff, was so moved by the plight of the students at West Philly High, many of whom don’t have their own personal laptops or Internet connections at home, that he reached out to Smith, who was in New York City filming “Men in Black III,” and told him about the Feb. 21 theft. There was no lengthy discussion – it was just two like-minded pals agreeing to do whatever it took to make sure the students were able to get back online as quickly as possible.

Jackie Chan has blogged about the charity concert he took part in to raise funds for victims of China’s earthquake last month, which left over 1,484 dead, 1297 seriously injured, 11,849 injured and 332 missing.

“When I heard that Hong Kong would be hosting a fund raiser for the earthquake, I quickly changed my plans and made a stop in Hong Kong before all of the Shanghai Expo events,” wrote the star about the April 26 concert. "I told my good friends Chris Tucker, Lionel Richie, Kenny G, Brett Ratner, Will & Jaden Smith, etc about the earthquake and drought. They wanted to record a short clip for the Hong Kong charity show to let everyone know that there is support from America. I had all the tapes that had footage of my trip to Yushu and Yunan expressed delivered to Beijing. Charity has no boundary!

“By the end of the show, all of us got on stage… but I realized that everyone was swaying in all different directions! To avoid drowsiness to the audience at the coliseum and the audience at home, I stood on the chair in the first row and directed the finale. I just wanted to make sure that the show was entertaining and successful! During the show, I received news that there was another earthquake in Taiwan and a sandstorm in a few cities in China. What is going on in the world?!
