George Clooney Pays For Plane Jump
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip
George Clooney has pledged $17,000 to watch his ex-girlfriend jump out of a plane. Sounds like charity sadism to me.
The Ocean’s 13 star has donated the money to Lisa Snowdon’s double charity parachute jump attempt, pushing her way past her original target of raising $7,000 for two children’s charities.
A source revealed, “George was so impressed with Lisa’s guts and determination that he wanted to help. Lisa had no idea how generous he would be until she logged onto her website and saw how much he put down.”
Model-and-TV host Lisa had an on/off relationship with George between 2004 and 2006, but they have remained friends ever since.
Lisa admits she is nervous about doing the two separate jumps for Shooting Star Children’s Hospice and Help a London Child, on her fund-raising page: “I’m a little bit nervous, especially about doing this twice (I don’t even know if I’ll enjoy the first one!) but knowing how much this will benefit both of these charities will really help me.”
Although the pair are on friendly terms, it seems unlikely George, 48, and Lisa, 38, will rekindle their romance. He is currently dating Italian TV presenter Elisabetta Canalis.

Wanna buy Angelina Jolie‘s clothes? Well, if you simply adore her taste in attire or simply want to add something to your shrine, the mother-to-be has donated outerwear to charity.
The jacket, a black leather piece with a diagonal zipper, comes from the sexy star’s latest graphic novel adaptation, Wanted. If you plan on actually wearing it, heads up: it’s an extra-small! No real surprise there, though.
Still thinking of trying to bag it? Check it out on CharityFolks.com.
All proceeds of the auction benefit co-star Morgan Freeman‘s foundation, Plan!t Now, which benefits communities and families by preparing them for natural disasters.

J.K. Rowling Writes Harry Potter Spinoff
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Family, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip
Despite several press conferences and comments that she would like to branch out into writing new things, J.K. Rowling has completed the first Harry Potter spinoff. So much for the integrity of writing.
The book – an illustrated collection of fairy stories – is The Tales of Beedle the Bard, and only seven copies will be printed. One will be auctioned for charity, the others given away as gifts. Rowling drew the illustrations in the book herself and provided the handwriting for five of its stories. The book is mentioned in Rowling’s last Harry novel, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
