Katy Perry Gets Busted For Charity

A plaster cast of chart-topping singer Katy Perry's breasts has been sold for charity.

The plaster bust was made back in August 2008 to raise money for Keep-a-Breast, an organization that produces art events that increase breast cancer awareness among young people and benefit breast cancer education, prevention and treatment programs in communities around the world. They are famous for creating plaster forms of the female torso, which are then customized by fine artists and auctioned to raise funding for breast cancer.

“Someone paid US$3500 for a mould of my breasts,” said the 24-year-old singer. “That’s a lot in a recession.”

Last month, Perry donated handwritten song lyrics to Jewel's auction to raise money for Project Clean Water.

The singer has been joined by some of her celebrity friends for the auction, with handwritten lyrics also being donated by the Pussycat Dolls, Trace Adkins, Katy Perry, Garth Brooks, Josh Groban, REO Speedwagon, David Foster, John Rich, Five For Fighting's John Ondrasik, Carrie Underwood, Randy Travis, John Mellencamp, Jason Mraz, Gretchen Wilson and many more.

Project Clean Water is part of Jewel’s Higher Ground for Humanity organization, and has been involved in building wells and filtration systems in South America, Central America, India, Tanzania, and Bangladesh.

Jewel in the Water

Singer-songwriter and sometime-actor Jewel is refocusing her near decade-long, discrete charitable activities towards a more effective, higher profile partnership with Virgin Unite and its British billionaire boss Sir Richard Branson.

Jewel established Higher Ground for Humanity, whose main focus is Project Clean Water, in 1999. The Project organizes teams of scientists and engineers to bring safe, clean drinking water to impoverished communities throughout the world. It has assisted thousands of people in a dozen countries.

The singer realized through talks with Sir Branson that she could be doing much more for the cause, so she performed last week at a show to benefit Virgin Unite’s charitable projects in Morocco, where clean water is also the central issue. “A lot of clean water around the world is getting bought up privately; it costs more than oil,” she says.
