George Clooney puts his money where his mouth is



George Clooney is putting his money where his all-star organizing mouth is.

He's not the first—and we hope won't be the last—but the consummate movie star is the latest to make a $1 million donation to the Haiti relief efforts.

He joins the rarified world of Sandra Bullock, Gisele Bündchen and Brangelina in making the milestone personal donation, which, as it happens, is his second seven-figure offering in as many weeks.

Clooney was already part of the $1 million sum kicked in by Not On Our Watch, along with Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, Don Cheadle and Jerry Weintraub.

If Clooney's generosity is contagious, other stars will step up to the plate as well as the phone banks when they align for tomorrow night's Hope for Haiti telethon, which will not only air across most networks (including E!), but will also be streaming live at E! Online.
