Taylor Swift has been named the most charitable celebrity of 2012 by website DoSomething.org. Largely, this is due to her hugely generous donation of $4 million to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. She also became the youngest-ever recipient of the Robert. F Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award.

But who else has made a difference this year with their charitable efforts? Channing Tatum and Miley Cyrus both worked tirelessly for their chosen charities — the rainforest and dogs! And Selena Gomez worked at children's hospitals all over America as well as raising $200,000 at her annual UNICEF concert.

Apart from the DoSomething.org list, Charlie Sheen gave $75,000 toward the medical bills of a ten-year-old girl with cancer, and his donation was then bested by Stevie Wonder, who gave $100,000.

Hurricane Sandy also brought out a lot of charitable celebrities. Comedian Louis CK had to cancel a show, but he played two more to raise money for the relief effort. And Lady Gaga topped the list of Sandy celebrity donators by giving $1 million to the American Red Cross.

    I picked the front runner ONLY because I had to pick someone, but Oprah Winfrey far outgives Taylor. In fact, not sure, but it appears as if she gives 20% of her income and that is more than these others combined.

    I voted for Channing Tatum because he was funny as hell in 21 Jump Street. I have no idea whatsoever which celebrity is the most generous,,,you can't just judge on how much money they gave.
  • Spidey59 2012/12/31 06:04:35 (edited)

    I had to vote for someone, But The most Charitable one are the ones not seeking to promote themselves, Take KISS they been donating to The Wounded Warriors Program for the past few year, toward the end of their concerts they bring up Military Members and gives them a check from any where's from 35,grand to over an 100 grand, they take $1.00 from every ticket sold and cut the check, Gary Sinise is another, he has a web site Gary Sinisefoundation.org also for the WWP, Trace Adkins, Toby Keith Kid Rock an Ted Nugent are others that has been working behind the scene with the WWP. So my point is, it's Not the Ones you Hear and See it's the ones that you don't hear about that are the most Charitable, with Funds and Dedication, Not the ones that give a check and pose for Pictures afterwards.

    All I know is: A) Celebrities are (almost) never generous and B) Charlie Sheen (the most paid male actor on TV) though he should be making more than what he was making, thus being one of the worst in my book.

    You might want to look at some of the older celebrities who have done a lifetime of work and actually made major contributions to society and spent hundreds of thousands of millions of dollars to help. Oprah Winfree is one of those.

    It's very nice that they make donations (probably for the P/R). But when compared to what they make (most of them), it's like a normal person giving $10.

    It's not about the money you have, but what you do. I mean, yeah, money helps.
    But a million to them is like 50 dollars to me.

    Taylor Got her Kennedy award after she dated a Kennedy. And while she was very nice, most of her contributions were monetary. Didn't Miley Cyrus travel to Haiti with the Stark foundation?

    The list is probably right, and Swift must be number 1, but all I ever see her do is Hanging out with her on turn boyfriend and going on Tour. And Selena Gomez? she is either 'working' or hanging around Bieber.
  • riggins Astoria... 2012/12/30 21:29:42

    all i ever see Miley doing is smoking, drinking, doing drugs, acting like a whore or partying with strippers
  • Astoria... riggins 2012/12/30 22:19:27

    and still she had time to go to Haiti, and help a number of charity events. There is nothing classy on dating guy after guy, either. The fact remains, all Swift had to do this year to get number 1 was donate a couple mill and date the Kennedy kid.

    whatever lets you sleep at night.

    She doesn't date 20 year old kids, because she is too busy robing the crib. There is a reason why all guys dump her. Older and younger than her.
  • WATCHER Astoria... 2013/01/01 19:50:50

    So you think that Miley is any different that Selena and Taylor??

    Maybe you should open your eyes and look at those who have committed their entire lives to charitable endevors like Bill Gates and Oprah Winfree and given hundreds of millions of dollars every single year.
  • Astoria... WATCHER 2013/01/02 22:03:23

    I just said, they gave Taylor #1 because of the Kennedy award. Which she got, mostly because of her ties to the Kennedy family.

    It just bug me how people act a if they walked on water.
