60 Times Celebrities Did Impressively Selfless Stuff

The singer is a bona fide animal lover—and she put her money where her heart is, by sponsoring 15 adoptable dogs in partnership with BarkBox. The singer spread the word about the adorable pups from BADASS Brooklyn Animal Rescue by showing a link at her two shows in Madison Square Garden. The link led to where her fans could go and adopt the dogs—with no fee. (Ariana picked up all the adoption and vaccination fees for the pups.) *Squeal*

Talk about sweet! An 8-year-old ballerina named Alissa Sizemore, who had lost part of her leg earlier this year after she ran in front of a delivery truck while playing, was surprised by her favorite singer Colbie Caillat after dancing to Caillat's song "Try." Caillat applauded her with flowers and invited her to attend one of her concerts. "That was so lovely. Thank you for dancing to my song. You really are an inspiration to so many people," Caillat said. "Thank you for giving it to me," Sizemore replied. *Squee*

Besides the other 34,349 good deeds Taylor has done (Taylor Swiftmas? Taking photos with everyone? Responding to fans on social media?) she also takes the time to do even bigger things—like visiting sick cancer patients, and even Facetiming when she can't be there in person. Most recently, Tay went above and beyond to help a volunteer firefighter in Texas who responded to a car crash alert, only to find out it was his young son and wife. His son is now at home, but his wife is still in the hospital. His friends set up a GoFundMe account, where users can help with medical expenses. Swift donated $15,000 to the family. We need more stars like you, Tay.

She may be a wildly famous superstar, but Taylor never loses touch with the fans that got her where she is today. One such example took place on Friday night at the Philadelphia concert of her "1989" tour. Two mega-fans, Katy Harris and Chris Eisenmann, were married in the parking lot just prior to the concert. Still dressed in their wedding day best, the bride and groom headed into Lincoln Financial Field for the show. But the celebration was far from over. Swift's mom Andrea noticed the newly knotted couple and pulled them aside to meet their pop idol. Naturally, a simple meet-and-greet just wouldn't do for the songstress who has made her fortune on real-life romances. Swift invited Harris and Eisenmann backstage where they hung out with, grabbed a couple hugs, Instagrammed a few photos, and basically had the best night ever as far as any Swiftie is concerned. STILL NOT ENOUGH! Swift put the icing on their wedding cake with a special "something blue": a handwritten poster with the note, "Katy and Chris, may we always remember this day."

Fans worship Amy for her sense of humor, and it appears she was in the mood to dole out some thanks during a recent meal. According to Page Six, the Inside Amy Schumer star seriously made one kid's night while dining at Peter's Clam Bar on Long Island in New York. The comedian chatted up her server, who happened to be a college student working two jobs to fund his education. What did Amy do when she found that out? She left a $500 tip on a $49 bill—no joke.

Well, this sounds hilarious. When Grace Aroune of Elma New York asked Bill Hader to help prank her high school—and he was definitely up for the job. Coordinating with Aroune and the principal who was in the loop, Hader spent the day pranking everyone. "I was an old firefighter who went from classroom to classroom giving really bad advice and making the kids do weird drills like stop, drop, and roll," Hader told HuffPost Live. ""I'd argue with the teachers, because they didn't know who I was. They asked why there weren't more fire extinguishers in schools, and I went 'MONEY!''" He later revealed the rouse to an assembly of students, where he stayed to sign autographs and yearbooks.

Talk about serendipity. Ed Sheeran, in town for performance, was doing a bit of shopping at the West Edmonton Mall in Canada, when he happened to hear a young woman performing his song as part of a fundraiser for the Edmonton Humane Society. So, naturally, he joined her for a surprise performance. "I was like, should I stop? I didn't want to stop, but I wanted to talk to him," 13-year-old singer Sydney Bourbeau told the the Edmonton Journal. "This is, like, the best thing that's ever happened to me." Sheeran's manager later offered her two tickets to his concert—Bourbeau planned to take her mom.

The duo—who attended at the music festival Bonnaroo to emcee—made a local restaurant server's day when Hamm gave her his VIP wristband to the festival, and Galifianakis gave her a 250% tip. The two were headed out of town, but Bonnaroo was still going strong, and Hamm apparently thought someone should enjoy it. "Take this wristband and go to Bonnaroo. This will get you anywhere you need to go," he reportedly told her, according to the server's memory. Naturally, she did.

The actor and humanitarian has given another voice to animal rights with his letter to Costco CEO Craig Jelinek, calling for reform in animal treatment in the food industry—specifically, how Costco harvests their eggs. "I am writing today about the recent undercover investigation conducted by my friends at The Humane Society of the United States at a Costco egg supplier. Video footage revealed abhorrent cruelty including rows upon rows of birds confined in filth-laden cages with the mummified corpses of their cage-mates—eating, sleeping, defecating, and laying eggs on top of dead birds—and hens' wings, legs, and necks trapped in the corroded wires of their battery cages," he wrote. "So many corporations are meeting public demand for more humane products and transparency in the food chain. I sincerely hope that Costco will set plans now to go completely cage-free for its eggs." Jelinek has yet to respond.

While filming his latest movie, the actor stopped by Our Lady of the Lake Children's Hospital in Baton Rouge for a special visit. The hospital posted pictures to it's Facebook page, showing Pratt playing with the kids, signing posters, and posing for photos. "Actor Chris Pratt, best known for Jurassic World and Guardians of the Galaxy, took time out from filming his latest movie to visit with our‪#‎AmazingKids‬ at Our Lady of the Lake Children's Hospital," the post said. "Our patients were all smiles and we are so thankful to Chris for lifting their spirits by visiting and handing out Jurassic World goodies. Thanks to Children's Miracle Network Hospitals for coordinating such a special visit!" Just one more way Chris Pratt continues to be a national treasure.

The singer got down and made everyone smile at the recent wedding of Jessica Biel's old college roommate, Us Weekly reports. "Imma start something, and all the fellahs gonna look at the ladies, who just got married tonight. And all the ladies gonna look at the ladies, you know what I'm saying," he began, before launching into his hit "Señorita." He also played the keyboards and sang a couple of other songs—unrehearsed—for the newlyweds and guests. (Feel free to serenade us any day, J.T.)

The do-gooder extraordinaire can't be stopped. After 11-year-old Naomi Oakes was diagnosed with leukemia and told she needed aggressive treatment, she was devastated to know that she would be missing Swift's concert—which she was planning on attending with her best friend. Her family made an inspiring video telling Naomi's story—and the Taylor Swift nation didn't hesitate to spread the word. After learning of Naomi's story, Swift donated $50,000 to her GoFundMe page, writing: "To the beautiful and brave Naomi, I'm sorry you have to miss it, but there will always be more concerts. Let's focus on getting you feeling better. I'm sending the biggest hugs to you and your family." Tears.

So cute! Johnny Depp took time out of filming the newest Pirates of the Caribbean film to stop by Lady Cliento Children's Hospital in Brisbane, Australia (in full Jack Sparrow costuming, no less) to cheer up some kiddos and pose for pictures. In fact, he wanted to spend so much time with them that he reportedly visited on the condition that he wouldn't be rushed along, and could spend as much time as he wanted at the hospital. A+ Johnny.

Yes, Britney Spears is a superhero. The pop diva unknowingly helped save the life of a little girl, who suffered a brain aneurysm and two strokes at just seven years old. Meagan Johnson, now 13, explains that Brit's 2003 hit "Toxic" was instrumental in her recovery. "That song was incorporated in ALL Therapy Sessions. It has been our hope to get my story to Britney," she wrote on Facebook. "My parents said as an entertainer and mother, she would appreciate knowing the impact and role she played on my recovery." "I didnt want to smile or communicate," she added. "Until…. one day someone played one of my cds. The first song did nothing, but the next song was Toxic by Britney Spears-I smiled, tried moving my hips and lifting my arm waving it back and forth in the air trying to dance." *Chills*

The comediennes dropped by the Floating Hospital for Children at Tufts Medical Center, accompanied by their Ghostbusters costars, Kate McKinnon and Leslie Jones. The funny ladies donned their costumes from the upcoming spirit-fighting film as they took time to visit with patients, inducing *all* kinds of feels. Who ya gonna call?

Tay to the rescue! After her label denied song permission to an Australian theater show with elderly actors for the song "Shake It Off," the director of the play tweeted at Taylor herself. "It's about the last day of school - only the 17 yr olds are all played by 70 yr olds," she wrote in a 7-part tweet. "Is there anything at all you can do?!! Thanks for reading!" After others chimed in to get the message out to the songstress, she responded seven hours later: "Permission granted, @BelvoirSt. Good luck with your opening night :)" The group responded with this Vine. So adorable.

Known to always go the extra mile for her legions of Swifties, Taylor Swift has proved yet again that she is, in fact, an angel. In typical fashion, her latest good deed comes via her favorite social media site, Tumblr. After a young fan wrote about "feeling so alone lately" on her personal blog, the "Shake It Off" singer took a break from her 1989 world tour to reply to the post with a very heartfelt message. "Knowing your worth sometimes comes without any proof at all," she wrote, among many other sweet sentiments. "You're worth more than flaky friends and people who dismiss you." T. Swift—arguably the nicest famous person in the history of ever.

Taking a break from filming X-Men: Apocalypse in Montreal, Jennifer Lawrence proved she is a superhero both onscreen and off. Posing for photos with patients and staff at Shriners Hospital for Children, the actress did not fail to cause *major* feels all around. "A very special visitor stopped by our Canada hospital today," Shriners wrote on their official Facebook page. "Jennifer Lawrence is in Montreal filming a new movie and she made time to visit some of our #ShrinersCanada kids and staff. Everyone had a great time!" J-Law, always doing the most. Photo: Shriners Hospital for Children

J.K. Rowling to the rescue! After a young Egyptian woman tweeted to the author saying, "You inspired me to write. However, in Egypt, girls can't do anything freely as boys. They laugh at me when I say I am a writer." Rowling immediately responded to the message, writing: ""Don't you dare let their laughter extinguish your ambition. Turn it into fuel! Big hugs from one writer to another x." The tweet has inspired others to write encouraging words to the young writer, including from fellow Egyptians. The tweet has been retweeted more than 4,000 times.

Taylor's at it again—brightening fan's lives, that is. After 26-year-old Tiffany Rich tweeted about awaiting a double lung transplant (#1 on her bucket list) as a fighter against cystic fibrosis, she also tweeted that #2 on her bucket list was meeting Taylor Swift. After many retweets, Taylor saw the message and her team reached out—offering Tiffany and her best friend second row seats and a meet-and-greet with Taylor herself. "I had no words, this was the best day ever," Rich said. Photo: Twitter

At this point, we now ask ourselves—WWTD? (What Would Taylor Do?) At a recent concert, the songstress revisited a song she had written and performed only once before for a telethon—"Ronan"—about a mother and her son with cancer. Maya Thompson, the inspiration for the song (along with her late son Ronan) was in attendance, and, yes, everyone was moved to tears.

Why is this girl smiling? It's because Kim Kardashian took time out of her busy schedule to visit her in person. With Mason Disick, 5, tagging along with his aunt, the two fulfilled the girl's, Anissa, Make-a-Wish Foundation request. "Mason & I spent the day with this beautiful soul, Anissa! Thank you Make-A-Wish for this special day!" Kim wrote on Instagram. And now she's got us smiling from ear-to-ear, too. Photo: Facebook

The actress is advocating for a man to be taken off death row in order to examine the evidence in the case. (NBD.) After playing a nun based on Sister Helen Prejean in the movie Dead Man Walking, Sarandon got involved with a decades-old Oklahoma case. "Sister Helen Prejean called me and convinced me that this guy, Richard Glossip, was innocent and needed another chance to have better representation to present new information that would establish a reasonable doubt as to his guilt and save him from being executed," Sarandon told People. She's currently petitioning the release (along with thousands of others) for Glossip and review of the case.

A young Wolverine fan got a truly special day when he met his ultimate icon. Domenic, 9, is an Australian boy suffering from cystic fibrosis. The Make a Wish Foundation granted him a wish to join a radio show—Kyle and Jackie—to chat about his favorite star: Hugh Jackman. When they announced that Jackman would be calling in to talk with him, Domenic perked up. Little did he know, Jackman was actually in the studio chatting—before dropping in and surprising Domenic.

Because she loves kids (and knows a thing or two about killer choreography), Britney Spears treated the lucky little ladies of L.A.'s Rockit Dance Studio to a Madonna-inspired dance lesson. "Surprised the girls at @rockitdancestudio today!," the singer wrote on Instagram. "Thx for letting me take over your class @lenagold! They rocked it ?" You can watch all of the adorable videos from the class here. Photo: Instagram

Swift proves again that her heart is in the right place. After hearing that the baby nephew of one of her backup dancers was battling cancer (at just 13 months!), the singer donated $50,000 to his GoFundMe page. (The family was originally seeking $20,000, to help with medical costs, especially since the baby's mother took off work to care for her sick son.) She wrote on the page: "Baby Ayden, I'm lucky enough to perform with your uncle Toshi on tour. All of us are praying for you and your mama and sending so much love your way. Love, Taylor."

How do we become Ed Sheeran's friend? The English songwriter recently revealed that he co-wrote the hit "Thinking Out Loud" with childhood friend, Amy Wadge, as a means of giving her financial assistance. "[Wadge] was going through financial troubles about a year ago," Sheeran said. "She drove to my house—my album was nearly done—and she asked if I could put a song from when I was 17 on the deluxe album, so she could get a little bit of money and pay the mortgage and bills and stuff. While she was there, we wrote 'Thinking Out Loud.' Now she never has to worry about money again." The song sold over 1,000,000 copies in the UK alone, so yes, you might say Ed is the best friend/person in the world.

Blake Shelton reportedly rescued four men—Bryar and Lenyell Blanton, Adrian Poplin and Josh Turner—from a dangerous mudslide near the Washita River in Ardmore, Oklahoma. "Me and my buddies were checking out the river, when some of my buddies [accidentally] slid into a big mud hold and got stuck for about two hours," Bryar told Entertainment Tonight. "Me and Adrian started walking down the road [looking for help] and Blake and his dog, Betty, stopped and picked us up in his truck." Shelton then suggested that he drive Bryar and his friends back to their vehicle. "Then, we went back to the river and he tried to get them out with his truck. He couldn't do it, so he said he would be back in 15 minutes with his tractor," Bryar added. "I was just like, 'Heck yeah!' and asked him for a photo with us. He lives about 45 minutes from me." "If it wasn't for Blake, I would have been out there for countless hours," he concluded in a second interview with E! News. "And yeah, I would say he is a hero." If you didn't quite understand why Gwen Stefani is so smitten with the "Hillbilly Bone" singer before, well, now ya know. Photo: Bryar Blanton

Gigi Hadid, Victoria's Secret Angel and now real-life angel, took time out of her busy schedule to visit with terminally ill kids at the Children's Hospital of Orange County. In a few photos posted to her Instagram, the model put smiles on several faces—but no grin was bigger than Hadid's own. "Got to spend this afternoon with all my new heroes at @chocchildrens thanks to @ryanfoundation," she wrote of the experience. "These kids are so inspirational in their ability to find and show positivity, sense of humor, and personality regardless of their circumstances." She added: "My heart is so full today because of them. So much love." *tears* Photo: Instagram

Saint Tay is at it again. After being diagnosed with a condition that causes progressive hearing loss, 12-year-old Jorja Hope's first reaction was: "I won't be able to hear Taylor Swift sing." Her twin, Chloe, reacted by setting up a social media campaign (#HelpJorjaMeetTaylorSwiftSydney) to help her sister meet her idol before she became deaf. The fan got her wish, and Jorja met Taylor on November 28. "[She's] very, very amazing," Jorja, who has battled health conditions her whole life after being born premature, said on Australia's Today show (via Us Weekly) . "And very pretty. Taylor Swift, she is my idol. She's a good role model. I didn't expect her to be as tall as she was!" "Things like this happen to other people, not to people like us," Jorja and Chloe's mother Melissa told Australia's Today show. "It's been a fairy tale."

Chris Hemsworth—who's best known for playing comic book legend, Thor—has now cemented his status as superhero IRL. The actor surprised his parents by loading up their bank accounts and paying off their debts—as Hemsworth's little brother, Liam, revealed in a recent interview with the Independent. "[My father] called my brother Chris back and said, 'I don't know how to feel. Since I left home, I have had debts and I thought I'd be paying them off until I died and have this weight hanging over me, and now to have them completely cleared,' " the Hunger Games star told the outlet. "They are so happy now and able to spend more time with us. I would love to be able to do something for my parents like that." *Sigh* Could the Hemsworth bros be any more perfect?

Taylor is changing the world, one good deed at a time. This time, she donated $50,000 to the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. She wrote the orchestra's music director Ludovic Morlot, explaining that John Luther Adams' piece "Become Ocean"—a piece commissioned by the Seattle Symphony—inspired her. Swift's donation will be used to fund two of the orchestra's programs: Link Up, which sends artists into primary schools for a week at a time to teach music, and its musicians' pension fund. "We're especially thankful that she wishes to support our musicians and that she shares our belief that all people should be able to experience symphonic music," Morlot said in a statement.

So it's confirmed: Taylor Swift is an actual angel. ? Just two weeks after donating $50,000 to the Seattle Symphony Orchestra, the "Shake It Off" singer made a big dream come true for a terminally ill super-fan. T-Swift paid a special visit to 13-year-old Delaney Clements, who has been battling a rare form of cancer since age seven. Tay shared pictures of their hangout sesh on Instagram, which you can take a look at (and shed a tear over) right here. Merry Swiftmas, guys. Photo: Instagram

For the third year in a row, Jennifer Lawrence visited a children's hospital in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky on Christmas Eve to spread some joy to little ones while home for the holidays. At Kosair Children's Hospital, the actress posed for photos and chatted with the kids. One mother told Entertainment Tonight that the visit was a popular one. "She was very sweet, genuine, and I could sense the beauty of her soul," she explained. "You know how some people just light up the room, or you just feel comfortable in their presence."

The singer responded to an 8-year-old burn victim's wish of getting a ton of Christmas cards by sending her just that—plus a care package, of course. The package, which included a hoodie with ears, a backpack, a DVD of Perry's Prismatic tour, a DVD of her film Part of Me, an iPhone 6 case and a black kitty cat purse—also had a handwritten note from Perry herself. "Safyre, I heard about your Christmas wish and and am so honored that you saved the top of the tree for me!" the card read. "I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a great New Year. I'll be thinking of you on Christmas Day. Special girl."

Talk about a serious donation to a great cause. Isla Fisher and her husband, Sacha Baron Cohen, donated $1 million to help the Syrian refugee crisis. Half of the donation will go to Save the Children to help with children's vaccinations, while the other half will go to International Rescue Committee to help refugees, particularly women and children, with education, shelter, and other necessities. Bravo.

Your imaginary husband just got a little bit dreamier (if that were possible). In an interview with GQ, nice guy Eddie reveals that he sometimes shares his wealth with struggling actors. "I get letters from people trying to go to drama school and needing to pay their rent," the former pub waiter said. "And so that's something I occasionally do. It's impossibly expensive to live in London." Oh. Okay. *swoon* Photo: Getty

Although you thought it was impossible to love Jennifer Lawrence more than you already do, your dream BFF changed that by casually donating $2 million to the Kosair Children's Hospital in her hometown of Louisville, Kentucky. "Hi, I'm Jennifer Lawrence. I'm excited to announce we will be establishing the Jennifer Lawrence Foundation Cardiac Intensive Care Unit at Kosair Children's Hospital," J-Law says in a new YouTube video. "As part of my effort to help these children and caregivers, I challenge the entire community to get behind this cause and help match my gift by raising an additional $2 million to support all of these brave and inspiring children." Funds will support the creation of the hospital's new wing which will "feature private rooms dedicated to children recovering from heart procedures, open heart surgery including heart transplant, heart failure and other conditions requiring intensive care." Amazing.

Taylor Swift donated $1 million to the Louisiana flood relief, after a massive flood has devastated the state and taken 11 lives. "We began The 1989 World Tour in Louisiana, and the wonderful fans there made us feel completely at home. The fact that so many people in Louisiana have been forced out of their own homes this week is heartbreaking," the 26-year-old said in a statement to the Associated Press. "I encourage those who can to help out and send your love and prayers their way during this devastating time." Doing good, Tay.

Taylor continues to amaze. After her godson (and Jaime King's son) Leo Thames was diagnosed with a heart condition, she visited and gave support to her friend and Leo. But then she went above and beyond—and King decided to reveal this in a new Instagram post. Talking about her son's condition, the actress shared that Swift had donated in Leo Thames' name a (what we can guess is a large) tribute gift to support the team at Cedars-Sinai who helped him, ensuring they can continue to do that work. "S[wift] knew that giving back in this way would be the greatest gift one could give to us, to Leo Thames and to all of those with congenital heart issues."

This is an emotional one: Katy Perry surprised Tony Marrero, a survivor of the Orlando nightclub shooting, by personally paying for his first year of film school. Marrero appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and explained that Perry's song "Rise" helped him through his recovery process. A visibly-moved Perry surprised Marrero live on the show with tears in her eyes. "I heard that you're creative just like me and you have dreams," Perry told Marrero. "And I heard that you want to go to film school so I personally want to pay for your first year at film school." There wasn't a dry eye in the audience.

Taylor Swift *literally* has a heart of gold. After a father's Facebook post detailing his daughter Meghan's dying wish to speak with the singer went viral, Taylor Facetimed with the 18-year-old for half an hour. Though specifics of the convo were kept private, Meghan posted a heart-felt letter indicating that words would "never be enough" to thank T.Swift.

Taylor Swift does it again - this time joining the American of Country Music in donating $100,000 to Dolly Parton's telethon fund, Smokey Mountain Rise: A Benefit for the My People. Their mission? To help those who were recently affected by wildfires in Smokey Mountain. "The Academy and ACM Lifting Lives are honored to contribute in a meaningful way to Dolly's heroic efforts to help the people of her hometown - and when Taylor heard what we were planning, she offered to match our gift, which gives it that much more impact," Tiffany Moon, Executive Vice President and Managing Director of the Academy said in a statement to ET. "We are so grateful to Taylor for her support to the Academy's charitable efforts through the years, and for helping us and Dolly Parton assist families in need at a time of crisis."

Update: Like a feel-good Hallmark movie come to life, Amy Schumer literally buys back the family farm for her ailing father. "We lost the farm when we lost everything else," she captioned an Instagram post, referring to her dad's being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis when she was 12, leading to their bankruptcy. "But today I got to buy it back for him." ::ditches Kleenex and goes straight for a bath towel:: Original: One word to describe Amy Schumer? Generous. While seeing Hamilton with her boyfriend and some friends, the comedian left a very generous tip for the waitstaff at the show - to the tune of $1000. "Our house manager gave us her order before the show and we filled it," an employee told E! News. "Then at intermission, a member of her party came to the bar with another order and when he handed the receipt to my co-worker, he said 'Amy wants to make sure you get this.' My co-worker looked at it and didn't know what to say." We've served a lot of celebrities at Hamilton and we've received some nice tips but never before had I seen a tip that even came close to this one," she explained. #AmyforPres

Lawrence is the gift that keeps on giving. For the fourth year in a row, JLaw visited the Norton Children's Hospital in her hometown, Louisville, Kentucky, on Christmas Eve. Although the visit was kept on the DL, the hospital posted on social media to show Lawrence spreading holiday cheer to the patients and staff, Time reports. There's even a photo of Lawrence posing with a patient dressed like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. All together now: awww.

Nobody loves a good deed quite like Swift. T.Swift surprised Cyrus Porter, a 96-year-old World War II veteran who has been called the oldest "Swifty" fan, with a special Christmas visit at his Missouri home. "It's a Christmas Miracle! My grandpa was so excited," Porter's grandson Robert Frye tweeted of the visit. "She puts on a show no one else puts on," Porter, who has been to two Swift concerts, said. But no concert can compare to the acoustic performance Swift gave in Porter's living room. Bravo, Tay! Photo: Getty

Over the holidays, Kris Jenner and boyfriend Corey Gamble led the family in donating 100 chef-prepared meals to the needy in downtown L.A. "They had no clue I'd post this but I felt people should see this side of their hearts," wrote Justin Mayo, executive director of Red Eye, the nonprofit to which the food was delivered. Mayo added that this isn't "even close to the first time they have contributed" to the organisation. Photo: Getty

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth spent time over the holidays visiting patients at Rady Children's Hospital in San Diego. Cyrus and Hemsworth were spotted in numerous social media posts from their surprise visit as they posed for selfies and spent time with patients, E reports. The trip was on behalf of Cyrus' non-profit organisation, The Happy Hippie Foundation. Rady's Children Hospital compiled a collection of heartwarming photos from their visit on their Facebook page along with the message, "Thank you to Miley Cyrus, Liam Hemsworth and The Happy Hippie Foundation for bringing joy and laughter to our patients!"

Following Gomez's impassioned speech on her personal health struggles at the American Music Awards last year, the singer is making yet another statement to further awareness of the autoimmune disease lupus. People reports that Gomez has made a donation to USC's Keck School of Medicine, as a part of the launch of her Selena Gomez Fund for Lupus Research. Her battle with lupus has been ongoing since she first took a career hiatus in 2015, and with this donation she hopes that will help lead the fight for a cure. Dr. Janos Peti-Peterdi, leader of the initial research team, said "We are extremely pleased to partner with Selena in her efforts to promote awareness and medical research toward a much-needed cure for lupus." Yes, girl. Photo: Getty

Just imagine going to school on a Chrissy Teigen scholarship. NBC News reports that Mercedes Edney of Charlotte, North Carolina started an online fundraiser last month to raise $5,995 for aesthetician school; by Friday, she'd raised $300, when Teigen stepped in and paid off the rest. "I've seen this be your passion for such a long time now," Teigen wrote in a note with her donation. "So excited to see you fulfill your dream!" Photo: Getty

Royal-of-the-moment Prince Harry took some time out of his busy schedule to reconnect with two very special children in need. E! News reports that the Prince went to visit Ollie Carroll, and his sister Amelia, who both suffer from Batten disease. The extremely rare condition is a genetic childhood nervous system disorder, that eventually takes hold of your basic human functions, like walking, seeing, and breathing. Those who suffer typically do not live past the age of 12. Prince Harry met Ollie last year after he won the Most Inspirational Child Award at the Wellchild Awards in October, and came back to check up on both kids. The family wrote in a Facebook post, "For an hour Prince Harry sat with us talking and playing with our children, laughing and making memories. The very thing our children want the most in life, to be happy and having fun." Our hearts are full. Photo: Facebook

Too cute. The Duke of Cambridge traveled to the children's Oak Center cancer unit at the Royal Marsden Sutton Hospital (of which he is president) recently and got to meet 6-year-old Daisy Wood, along with other patients. She happened to be watching movies on princesses, but joked that William might be too old for her to marry. LOL. Photo: Getty

Without any fanfare, Adele and husband Simon Konecki visited a vigil held near the site of the London Grenfell Tower fire, where she "offered her support to everyone affected by the tragedy," according to eyewitness reports. The conflagration claimed 12 lives, with many more injured. Photo: Getty

Adele - in the most humble and discrete way - brought cakes for the firefighters at Chelsea Fire Station in London. Ben Kling, the station manager, said, "We opened the door to her and she took her sunglasses off and said, 'Hi, I'm Adele.'" She simply wanted to have "tea and a cuddle" and to thank the firefighters for their bravery during the Grenfell Tower disaster. So freaking sweet.

You'd think Jay Z would spend this Father's Day just reveling in the birth of his twins, but nope. He donated to both Color of Chang and Southerners On New Ground, organisations that raise money to bail out incarcerated dads every Father's Day. Jay Z wrote, "As a father with a growing family, it's the least I can do, but philanthropy is not a long fix. We have to get rid of these inhumane practices altogether." Photo: Getty

The singer and actress is an outspoken advocate for mental health awareness, and has now taken it a step further—she's partnered up with five mental health organizations for a campaign called "Be Vocal: Speak Up for Mental Health" which encourages others to talk about mental health in a bigger way. "I'm living well with my mental illness – I am actually functioning like a very happy person would," Lovato told People. "I couldn't be happier today. Life is really, really great. I have a brand-new puppy and I'm able to not only take care of myself but take care of him as well. I'm living my dream. Life is pretty amazing."

Miley has a million tricks up her sleeve. Her latest one?
