We were really, really upset yesterday when we heard that Jessica Simpson was donating 50,000 pairs of shoes to Haitians. Because OMG, you can’t wear an open-toed platform bootie with that ripped-up outfit covered in earthquake ooze! Gross! Thank God for Britney Spears, who is donating a dress for the cause. England’s The Sun reports:
The pop babe has agreed to donate her favourite dress to raise funds for the relief effort in earthquake-ravaged Haiti.
The frock she’s parting with is the silver Versace gown she wore for her high-profile comeback appearance at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.
Britney’s philanthropy is astonishing. It must have been really hard for a multi-millionaire to give up a 2-year-old dress she wore once in order for other people to raise money with it. We hear that in Haiti, they call her The Generous One. And in Peru, they call her She Who Mates with Funyuns, but that’s beside the point.
