Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and George Clooney have been named 2011's three most charitable celebrities by DoSomething.org.
In addition to his voice and dance moves, Justin Bieber is known by many for his charity work and donations. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough to take the top spot on DoSomething.org's annual Celebs Done Good list. That honor was given to Lady Gaga. Lady Gaga Lady Gaga took the top spot for her tireless campaign for anti-bullying legislation and the establishment of her Born This Way Foundation. The foundation, which will launch in 2012, seeks to empower youth, push for equality and champion individuality. She's already put her money where her mouth is by donating 25 percent of the proceeds from her Gaga's Workshop in Barney's New York to the foundation. Following in the footsteps of Madonna and Elizabeth Taylor, Lady Gaga is also an AIDS/HIV activist. Justin Bieber Bieber's massive charity involvements bumped him up from last year's number 10 to this year's number 2 spot. His Believe Charity Drive encourages his fans to donate to a variety of charities, including Make-A-Wish and Boys & Girls Clubs of America. Fans of Ellen also know that Bieber is a big believer of quality education of all. He famously gave a free performance and a $100,000 check to Ellen DeGeneres' favorite school, Whitney Elementary, earlier this month. His Schools4All campaign raises money to build schools in developing countries. With such charitable works at such a young age, Bieber certainly isn't taking his success for granted by blowing of all his money on frivolous goods. At the rate that he's going, he may just topple Lady Gaga on next year's list. George Clooney Rounding out the top three is George Clooney, a noted liberal political activist. Many of his fans have wondered whether Clooney will further his political work by running for office. His portrayal of a presidential candidate in Ides of March especially got people talking. Unfortunately for his fans, the actor has stated that he's definitely not interested in public office because it would mean compromising on this he'd rather not. In addition to DoSomething.org's recognition, George Clooney may soon have something else to celebrate. His performance in the Alexander Payne-directed The Descendants, as a middle-aged man who reconnects with his daughters while their mother lies in a coma, has many talking about an Oscar win in 2012. He last won an Academy Award in 2006, in the Best Supporting Actor category, for the Middle East thriller Syriana. Other celebrities on DoSomething.org's annual Celebs Done Good list are Leonardo DiCaprio, Demi Lovato and Taylor Swift.
