We could not be more PROUD of our boys in One Direction!

As we've reported, the group recently traveled to a supremely impoverished region of Ghana as part of the United Kingdom's Red Nose Day/Comic Relief efforts, which raises funds to help alleviate poverty worldwide!

And while we were all treated to an AWESOME cover of Blondie's One Way Or Another to help raise money for the cause, we're delighted to announce that it is simply NOT ENOUGH for Harry, Zayn, Louis, Liam and Niall, as they've decided to continue fundraising efforts of their own to help all those in far worse circumstances than those facing us!

But they want input from the fans, too!

Ch-ch-check out the video to see how you can do your part (above)!

The year is almost over, but some celebrities are still making last minute efforts to raise money for the charities of their choice.

Hugh Jackman, Jaden Smith, Mariah Carey and other celebs are auctioning off artwork to raise money for Pencils of Promise — an organization dedicated to building schools in communities that need them around the world.

What an unbelievable gesture! This band deserves all the accolades they've received this year!

Arcade Fire performed an intimate, surprise show for fans in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti on Tuesday night, on top of raising over $1 million for post-earthquake relief for the devastated country!

Sources claim the band, whose singer, Régine Chassagne, is the daughter of Haitian immigrants, performed their own hits Keep the Car Running, Sprawl II (Mountains Beyond Mountains), and Haiti, as well as covers of Creedence Clearwater Revival, The Rolling Stones, and Cyndi Lauper tracks!

Truly amazing! We're sure this meant the WORLD to not only their fans down there, but the entire community!

You guys should be EXTREMELY proud of all of your efforts! We certainly are!

Charlie Sheen's hurricane of tiger-blooded delusion is showing no signs of slowing down, and although it's already been confirmed that the crew is being compensated for four of the cancelled episodes of Two and a Half Men, he is not only taking responsibility for allegedly making this happen on their behalf, but expects Warner Bros. to pay them for the full eight!

After claiming that four episodes is a "start" and congratulating himself for his 'efforts' "paying off," he said:

"I won't sleep until I get all eight. I don't care about me right now. I'm on a mission right now. It's an operation right now to right some terrible wrongs."

However, according to studio spokesman, Paul McGuire, Sheen's nonstop odes to drug and ego-induced instability efforts had ZERO effect on the decision to pay the crew, and simply says:

"False."

Yeah. He has no idea what's going on.

However, as much as we can't believe that we're saying this, we DO agree that the crew needs to be compensated for ALL of the missed episodes.

And if Charlie truly doesn't care about himself right now, like he's claiming, and the studio won't make the payday happen, then HE needs to pay them all - out of pocket!

But that would just be too logical, right?

Yeah. That's what we thought.

What a SEKSI choice!

Even if it is just his voice!

Brad Pitt will reportedly be lending his voice to the upcoming documentary on the New Orleans' Saints exciting win in this past Super Bowl!

The film, which is a part of a series on the NFL network, always employs a celebrity narrator, but Pitt was apparently chosen for his efforts to help the post-Hurricane Katrina stricken city!

Amazing!

The documentary airs September 8th at 9pm!

What do U think?? Will U be checking it out??

What an honor! And a well-deserved one, too!

George Clooney will be presented with the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award by The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences at this year's Emmy Awards!

Clooney, who organized a telethon for the victims of Hurricane Katrina and has brought awareness to the genocide in Darfur, is the fourth recipient of the honor, following in the footsteps of The Big O, Bill Cosby, and the late Danny Thomas!

Congratulations are in order!

Keep up the good work, bb!
