Drew Barrymore Feels So Much Better After Giving Those Starving African Children A Fraction Of Her 'Music And Lyrics' Salary

It's Oprah's Big Give fever! YOU get to give! And YOU get to give! EVeryBOdy GETS to GIVE! To start the ball rolling, we offer documented Mac-enthusiast Drew Barrymore, who made a donation of $1 million of her personal fortune to an organization that feeds Kenyan children, written out on a giant, Price Is Right-style check and presented on The Oprah Winfrey Show today. It was a gesture of such heartfelt magnanimity that none other than Drew's Charlie's Angels co-star and bestest friend Cameron Diaz (secret, mutual nickname: Poo) called in to congratulate her on the gesture. Lucy Liu, meanwhile, waited patiently on Line 2; unfortunately, time restraints never allowed her to publicly state that she too was all for Barrymore's decision to give $1 million to a very worthy cause.

@Nomi Malone: But that wouldn't bolster ratings for the up-coming BIG GIVE project you may or may not have heard about 9,000 times in the last, say, 9 hrs!

The worse news? You totally can't cash that big cardboard check at the bank.

When did Drew start talking (and looking) like Mary Jo Buttafuoco? Also, thank you for having the courtesy of cutting off the video before Orpah could give out the 1-800 number.

Yeah well what do you expect from the big O? She makes me physically ill.

remember all her self-congratulations and praise when she gave away all those cars (that FORD or whoever donated to her - and managed to downplay that she got them free) and then a bunch of Saint O's little white trash orphans had to give the cars back because they couldn't pay the gift tax??

Oprah may be the new Bono (or is Bono the new Oprah???). He is worth nearly $1 BILLION and yet he still thinks it's necessary to oragnise a celeb art auction where he, Bono, 'raises' $25m for the diabolical Red charity which is now no longer in the red.

Call me auld fashioned but Bono could have given that $25m himself now that he saving up to $20m a year in tax and that he's a major stock holder in Forbes magazine.

If a donation is made in the woods, and no one is there to witness it, does it make a sound?

Yeah, we call Cameron Diaz "poo" at my house too. Probably for a different reason...

Pity that 1M will not end up feeding Kenyan children - but more likely be enjoyed by the corrupt Kenyan politicians instead...

And obviously the big O has forgotten all her bible readings when it comes to conspicuous displays of charity...
