Sandra Bullock Donates $1 Million to Haiti Relief
People.Com tells us that Golden Globe winner Sandra Bullock has turned anything but a Blind Side to the situation in Haiti – and has donated $1 million in relief aid to the victims of the Jan. 12 earthquake, which is now estimated to have killed 200,000 people and left 1.5 million people homeless.
Bullock’s contribution matches those by George Clooney and Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, reports Variety. The trade paper also notes that Gisele Bündchen has pledged $1.5 million to Haiti, while Madonna says she has given $250,000.
The gifts come as the star roster for Friday’s multi-network Hope for Haiti telethon, organized and to be co-hosted by Clooney and Wyclef Jean, continues to expand. Among those set to perform now include Christina Aguilera, Bono, Alicia Keys, Sting and Justin Timberlake. Tom Cruise and Julia Roberts have already been announced as answering the phones during the telethon.
The special will air live from Los Angeles and New York at 8 p.m. ET on MTV, ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, FOX, BET, The CW and HBO, among other networks. Donations will benefit Haiti relief efforts by the Red Cross, UNICEF, the Yele Haiti Foundation, Oxfam America and Partners in Health and be divided evenly among the groups.
Kim Kardashian: Kourtney Is Not Engaged
People.Com tells us that Kim Kardashian shot down engagement rumors about her older sister Kourtney and baby-daddy Scott Disick Monday.
“They are not engaged to be married,” Kim, 29, said during Dallas-based radio show Kidd Kraddick in the Morning. “I don’t think Kourtney really is thinking about that right now. She’s not really focused on getting married. I don’t think she wants that responsibility right now. She’s just having a good time loving being a mom. And I think she’s just going to stick with that for right now.
For her own part, Kim says she’s being patient about getting a ring on her finger from Reggie Bush.
“I would actually like him to have [one],” she says of the New Orleans Saints star. “I would like for them to get to the Super Bowl and win it. Get him a ring first, before …”
“He gets a ring, and then you get a ring,” suggests Kraddick’s co-host, Big Al.
“That’s the deal,” Kardashian says. “That’s the deal.”
Rest assured, Kardashian isn’t going to sprint away from Bush anytime soon – because, well, he’s just too hot not to handle.
Heidi Montag: Addicted to Plastic Surgery
People.Com tells us that at just 23 years old, The Hills star Heidi Montag decided to go under the knife for a second time and have a staggering 10 plastic-surgery procedures in one day.
“For the past three years, I’ve thought about what to have done,” the reality star tells PEOPLE. “I’m beyond obsessed.”
And so, on Nov. 20, Montag’s total transformation began. Keeping even her family in the dark, the starlet chronicled every painful moment of recovery and her journey to become “the best me.”
To find out what surgeries Heidi underwent and what husband Spencer Pratt thinks of her new look, pick up the latest issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.
Panic Over Heidi Montag Topless Photos
TMZ.Com tells us that moments after Heidi Montag‘s newest chesticular operation, her assistant went into full panic mode after a camera containing photos of Heidi’s bare jumblies went missing during an ambulance ride.
It all went down in November as Heidi was being transported from the hospital where she got the implants to a recovery center via a private ambulance company.
After Heidi was dropped off, her assistant realized a camera containing numerous photos — mostly showing a topless Heidi during various stages of her new operation — was M.I.A.
Sources say the assistant called in a red alert to the ambulance minutes after it left the recovery center and ordered the driver to turn around — but she didn’t tell the driver why.
Heidi got her camera back, and one of the photos is featured in this week’s People … we’re guessing for a lot of $$$. It’s just the way Spencer Pratt rolls.
The Ultimate DUI Reward
TMZ.Com tells us that Barron Hilton has shown he’s not to be trusted behind the wheel of a car — but that didn’t stop his dad from buying him a $60,000 ride as a reward for getting his license back after a DUI bust in 2008.
Hilton got his driver’s license back Tuesday … it was yanked after he pled no contest in 2008 to DUI in Malibu, where he allegedly hit a gas station employee with his car.
The 20-year-old went to the DMV and had to re-take his road test. We’re told he was sober and he passed. His reward from pops — a black 2010 Mercedes E550 Coupe.
It may seem like Barron is spoiled, until you realize … his 15-year-old brother Conrad gets to drive dad’s $200,000 Bentley. It’s all relative.
