Help Is On The Way, Alabama! Swifty Giving Back To Tornado Relief!

Her heart's as big as her trophy case room! (Seriously, how many awardz does this chica have???)


Like so many other celebrities, Taylor Swift feels horrible for the poor victims of last week's devastating tornadoes and has found a way to give back to them. She's making 13,000 tickets available for her final dress rehearsal for her Speak Now tour! That's right - see Swifty live and do some good!!!


The impromptu benefit on May 21st will be at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN and all proceeds will go to those victims' families. On her website, Swifty made an official statement about the benefit, saying:


"I was watching the coverage of the tornadoes backstage at rehearsals, and I wanted to do something for the families affected by the damage. I've never opened a rehearsal to the public before, but I felt that inviting my fans to the last rehearsal for the Speak Now tour would be a great way to raise money."


It sure will! We imagine a lot of fans would not only love the opportunity to give back to these people, but also get the chance to see you live, again!


Nice gesture, girl! Very smart! It's going to be HUGE!

David Spade's Giving Back To The Tornado Relief Efforts

Very generous! C'mon, Hollywood! More of you need to do this!


David Spade is hero to those in the midwestern and southeastern parts of the United States who late last month were left devastated by the over 178 tornados that ripped through that part of the country. The actor has pledged a donation of $200,000 to the American Red Cross for disaster relief and with that, released this statement, saying:


"With the devastating disasters the tornadoes and floods are causing I wanted to help the Red Cross in their efforts to provide help as quickly as possible. I also hope this will help to shine the spotlight on the people of the United States who are in desperate need right now and that others will join me in donating what they can to support the American Red Cross’ huge disaster relief effort."


Bravo, David. A donation like this is going to do a lot of good for the poor people whose lives have been forever changed by this tragedy. We truly hope more people follow in your footsteps and offer as much assistance as they can.


Nothing's too little! Give what you can!
