Drew gave those seven figures away to charity - to the U.N.’s World Food Programme, to be exact. What a nice gift to the world considering how most celebrities prefer to hoard all of their money.

According to People magazine, “Barrymore told Oprah that an article on hunger prompted her to take action. She called up the U.N., said, ‘How can I help?’ and went on a mission.”

Imagine if all of Hollywood followed Drew’s example and started to give their money away. That’s right, they just gave it away.

To every kind of national social program and international aid project you can possibly think of. Even sharing their abundant wealth with, oh, let’s see - how about those who have the least among us, for instance, homeless and hurting people living in the streets?

Can you imagine what a great place the world would be - celebrities choosing to raise their families in regular houses instead of mansions, driving economy cars instead of lazing in the back seats of limos, eating at Mickey D’s instead of The Ivy?

Can you imagine…?

Nah, I can’t, either. Somehow the word “celebrity” is just not synonymous with the word “philanthropist,” is it?
