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 would like to be a philanthropist. Isn't it weird that those greedy bastards who have money to burn are the greatest money hoarders. I think Taylor is wonderful to break that mold.

    The only reason I voted was because I had to, to make a comment. Having said that I would like to point out that if either one of these people contributed as much as MITT ROMNEY WHICH WAS REPORTEDLY $3 MILLION OR DOLLARS OR MORE then I say great. My question is how much all together did they contribute. Obama & Biden?? Big Joke.

    Romney did that for tax reasons he doesn't care for anyone. Obama and Biden are trying to help millions of under or uninsured people get medical care. They are fighting for everyone. Some people just choose not to see that truth. No joke.

    You had to make it political, not personal. Obama and Biden are charitable with everyone else's money. Not their own... Verified by their own tax return submissions. That said, all of these people give out their own pocket, and they give from abundance.

    ErnestTBass, made it political and I responded. Plus, did you happen to look at Romney tax return. The money Obama is spending is voter backed first off. You know giving should come from the heart not for show like Romney and Paul.

    ALL of his income from Olympics and as Governor as well as MORE than ten percent of business income....that's way more than church requires!!!! And ALL Christians are required to give ten percent, it's in the BIBLE, those who do are promised a blessing, looks like it worked...he is greatly blessed!!

    That's because you can't articulate your absurdities clearly enough.
    Lewis Carroll was quite good at it.

    We needed another choice.. Lady Gaga took off one of her boots when she was a judge on So You Think You Can Dance, and threw it to one of the contestants.. that was pretty generous. As much as I don't like her Rosie O'donnell is very generous with her money. A lot of celebs are generous without being vocal about it which to me means they give from the heart, not to benefit the public opinion of them.
