      Good Idea Perez. However, if you really want it to take traction - pick one or two causes and then champion only those by not only providing access to information about the charaties, but also by posting success stories on how these charaties have helped individuals! Good for you!

      Great idea - but dont get all Kathie Lee on us and kill your career

    37. Katy says – reply to this


      37

      Well I guess this isn't a gossip site. It's basically a website of your interests in music and charities, with the occasional, belated piece of gossip thrown in.

    38. michelle says – reply to this


      38

      Hey Perez, how about starting us off with a donation of your own?? No other way to show your commitment and to serve as an example to your readers. Way to go!

      44

      great idea P! To make it easier to track how much your readers contribute, i would set up a 501 c(3) that donates to …say…3 different charities and allow your readers to choose which charities they want you to donate too and then you can personally hand over checks to said organizations at some 'event' hosted by you and have personalities there ect….this could big and fun! great idea!

    45. ddddddd says – reply to this


      45

      Right on P! I never comment, but have to support this one. I'm with Kate. Success stories are a fab idea, along with posting the numbers from reader's donations. Make sure that the charities are legit - check out their backgrounds, etc. and see how many of the dollars they raise go out to the community vs. making their offices pretty and their cars shiny. LOTS of opportunity for GOOD!!!

      I think this is a great idea! I was just thinking today when I was reading your blog that wow I am saving money on magazines. Because I just read everything here now. I love your idea!!

    52. Betty says – reply to this


      52

      It's so nice to see someone finally use their platform for good, sure reading celebrity gossip is fun, but it's crap it doesn't mean anything in the real world, but what you are planning on doing with it is a great thing, I'm so happy that you are being a good person.

      Much Love
      Betty

    55. jezebel says – reply to this


      55

      Good for you. I am really happy to hear you doing this. I think it's a great idea and I would enjoy a post of yours linking to a recommended charity. Maybe include a story or family related to that cause (not a celebrity) to help us understand it's closer to home. Using everyday people will tug at my heartstrings moreso than a celebrity. You GO PEREZ! Count me in!

      58

      YEAH PEREZ!!!!! I believe we should all do something–anything we can to help out others & it's sooo much easier if you really believe in it! I hope everyone is able to donate something to this Autism charity or any other charity that does good. Giving is really a wonderful thing!

    59. hollywood says – reply to this

      Great idea because I NEVER buy People or US anymore…. I like the racier, uncensored version! Contribute the cost of one or two magazines a month as a Perez Reader!

      I am so happy you're doing this! After you posted the baby seal information, I was thinking about how successful you would be to do that on a regular basis. Didn't Rosie say she hoped you'd harness your power for good? So happy for your decision! Congrats.

      I am not understanding some of these wierd comments to such a great idea.
      I think we all need to take care of each other. Wonderful idea to help these kids. It seems like if we don't get to the bottom of this terrible situation it could touch every family in the US. Keep up the positive work.

    67. Ashley says – reply to this


      67

      I love this idea! I love that you are using your influence to benefit others. I may not be able to donate money but I love the idea.

      Maybe you could even include some of those free links, where if you click them a sponsor donates a small amount of food or money. You will definitely get a response because so many of your readers are poor college kids. Think about it!

      it's important to help kids with autism but could you please support parkinsons charities? there are 100,00 new cases every year and its getting bigger as the babyboomers grow up. help out our parents, too.

      Yay Perez :)
      My brother's autistic so I showed my mom this video (btw she's never heard of you XD) and it melted her heart after I told her what you do for a living and how you decided to support this so good on you. We already donate to Autism Speaks so we're very glad you're supporting this and bringing attention to it!

    75. NVIC DOT ORG says – reply to this


      75

      The reason WHY there is an EXPLOSION of autism is because of the poisons that the FDA puts into vaccines. Vaccines that are not NEEDED by anyone. Read for yourself. www dot nvic dot org -All of this could be avoided if the government would stop poisoning their own people like Hitler.

      Perez…don't listen to the adolescent rants. This is good. Universal energy…those that have been given much, much is expected. Give it back and maybe some of the idiot famous people you write about will do the same…..PARIS!

      if people want to buy unique and charitable birthday, anniversary, or any sort of presents this year, go to goodgifts.org… in someone else's name you can do loads… clear minefields, get heart surgery for a baby in India, gift of sight for someone, among many other things… it's cheap for you and a really unique gift and it will make the recipient feel good you donated in their name!

      Send your money to charity while still commenting on other's misfortune. Somhow that doesn't add up to anything more than a half-baked attempt to circumvent karma from kicking you squarely in the ass over the coming years.

      I love your idea to support organizations. However, I have a problem with Autism Speaks. They have ignored the fact that vaccinations trigger autism. They have essentially swept this information under the rug. Bob Wright (the founder of Autism Speaks) started the organization because of his grandson who was diagnosed with autism. Since then, however, his own daughter (Katie Wright, the mother of the grandson) has disassociated herself from the organization because of their lack of attention to the vaccination issue.

      Jenny McCarthy would be a good source to go to (do you know her? All you Hollywood types know each other, right?)… Jenny also knows that vaccinations are associated with triggering autism… Ask her where to send the money… My guess is that her first choice would not be Autism Speaks…

      Again, though… I love the idea just not thrilled with money going to Autism Speaks (but that's a personal preference). You can't win, can you?

      93

      Autism Speaks is horrible organization. I have autism; none of their employees have autism/asperger's. They just want to "cure" autism, but don't want to do anything for those living with autism, which are millions of people. Plenty of autistic people have college degrees and are productive members of society so why do they discriminate against us if they are suppose to advocate for us. They don't see us as human beings, just as something to be "fixed" not understood. Autism Speaks is another example where they profit from misunderstanding of differences.
