Britney Spears donates $25,000 to 'American Idol Gives Back'
Britney Spears was so moved by the stories that Idol was showing on the American Idol Gives Back show last night, that she decided (with her daddy's permission of course) to donate $25,000.
“She did it all on her own. She watched the show and cried for like two hours over the children in Africa with malaria,” a Spears family insider tells Life & Style. “She didn’t know much about the disease, so she Googled it. She was horrified to realize kids were dying from mosquito bites. So she went online and donated after getting [her dad] Jamie's permission. She used her Amex.”
Good for Britney. Thinking of others before herself.
