As much as we would like it, Matthew McConaughey and Drew Brees' charity event had nothing to do with them taking off their shirts and being topless. Whoever put together the event is probably kicking themselves now that we've pointed it out!

LOLz!

On Friday, Matthew and Drew hosted the Amazing Race Charity Event in New Orleans, raising money for each of their respective charity organizations.

The Got Your 6 campaign is a Hollywood-backed veteran campaign that just launched American Icons at an even in NYC last night — and the celebs were OUT for it!

Got Your 6 is designed to show that veterans and military families should be seen as civic assets and leaders who will reinvigorate our communities.

The event was hosted by Tracy Morgan, and Sheryl Crow even performed! Celebrities Alison Sweeney, Camila Alves, Marcus Samuelsson and others also showed up to support the cause!

Sounds fab — more pics (below)!

Leonardo DiCaprio took some time out of his busy schedule to oversee The 11th Hour Auction, which was held at Christie's in New York. The money was set to go to conservation charities and help the world as a whole — and HOLY SHIZZ did the auction deliver!!

The auction had works by many of the world's most preeminent contemporary artists, and brought in $38.8 MILLION… meaning it was one of the largest successes of its kind!

Leonardio DiCaprio isn't just all about looking good on the silver screen — he's also all about DOING good out in the world! He's teaming up with a top auction house to sell off an impressive collection of art to raise funds for conservation causes. You might have heard of the auction house: Christie's!

The 11th Hour Auction will be working with Leo and include 33 works by the likes of Banksy, Peter Beard and Julian Schnabel!

Here's what Leo had to say:

Most people are content in their silent hatred for cancer (which they shouldn't be!), but not Ashley Benson!

NOPE! If you're going to fight something, you might as well fight the crap out of it — so that's why she's supporting F*CK CANCER, and isn't afraid to wear the loudest shirt possible to prove it!

She's supporting It's Not What You Know, It's Who You Know, also known as INWYKIWYK (really!), which held the event at John Terzain's Bootsy Bellows. The movement is working with the idea that:

'in life we gain strength from the people we know and the relations that we establish around us. By throwing charity events we create an opportunity for people to connect and gain support through meeting other individuals experiencing the same fight against cancer.'

Sounds like a good movement to us! You can find more out HERE!

Keep up the good fight, Ashley! Just spreading the word helps!

Well this is certainly a surprise!

Attendees at the Lupus LA Orange Ball got a little HUGE treat as Toni Braxton took the stage to put on a very special performance!

The Unbreak My Heart singer took a short break from her retirement and sang a couple of her songs at the star-studded charity event, and of course she sounded amazing!

Ch-ch-check her awesome performance of Breathe Again (above)!

Toni had a lupus scare herself not too long ago, so it makes sense that she would want to give back to an organization that is hoping to thwart the disease once and for all!

She even showed some love for her doctor, Dr. Shapira, and pulled him onstage for her performance of Another Sad Love Song! Because nothing says "Thank you" like embarassing someone in front of a crowded room of people! LOLz!

But seriously, we are SO SO happy to see Toni back on the stage doing what she does best! Even if it was just for the night!

Check out the rest of her performance …AFTER THE JUMP!!
