Uh-oh! Jerry Seinfeld may want to start thinking about freshening up his comedy routine!

Apparently, during his recent set at the Stand Up For a Cure benefit concert, held at Madison Square Garden in New York Wednesday night, his jokes had audience members dozing off instead of laughing!

Or, at least one very famous audience member, if we're being specific: Martha Stewart!

A witness who says they were sitting behind her reported:

Holy shizzz!

Do we have a Nirvana reunion on our hands with Sir Paul McCartney stepping in for the late Kurt Cobain?

Oh, please say it’s true!

Rumors are running wild that Paul might just be playing with former Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic for the 12-12-12: Concert for Sandy Relief tonight.

Can we even handle that musical madness?!

Jumping generosity!!

Dave Matthews Band has pledged ONE MILLION DOLLARS to regional Hurricane Sandy relief efforts!

The band has decided to turn their November 30th winter tour opener in East Rutherford, NJ into a benefit concert! All proceeds from the show will go toward helping the storm-ravaged area!

Ah-mazing! Beyond ah-mazing!! Quadruple ah-mazing!!!!

We ADORE artists who give back to the their fans, especially in times of need!!

And we sincerely hope other other community leaders follow suit!

Hopefully the band isn't being generous out of guilt, we doubt Sandy hummed Crash Into Me as she crashed into Manhattan and the Jersey coastline.

NBCUniversal is throwing a hurricane party!

One hour? Isn't that more of a telesprint?

Hooray for celeb couples who love charity!

Fergie got the Black Eyed Peas together to put on a benefit show in Josh Duhamel's recently flooded hometown of Minot, North Dakota and raised $1.3 million for relief efforts!

The money went toward the much needed Minot Area Recovery Fund which is bankrolling the town's rebuilding efforts after flood waters forced 11,000 residents out of their homes in June.

Duhamel showed his appreciation for his wife's band on Twitter after their performance Sunday, tweeting:

"A HUGE thank you to @iamwill, @TabBep, @apl_de & #Fergie for their incredible act of kindness for doing #MinotRising. North Dakota loves you."

Will.i.am. responded warmly with:

"@joshduhamel i.am proud to support #MinotRising…this is what its all about…'Americans helping americans' one neighborhood United States."

Sorry Jay-Z and Kanye, but this may have been one of our favorite collaborations of the year! Thanks to helping out those in need, guys (gal)!
