About two years ago, forty Us billionaires pledged to give at least half of their wealth to charity, either during their lifetimes or after death. The list includes Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Michael Bloomberg and George Lucas. At the time, Lucas was worth about $3.5 billion and was the only person in Hollywood to make this pledge. Now that he has retired and sold Lucasfilm to Disney, his worth skyrocketed to over $4 billion. And it turns out he's already making plans to keep his word and donate most of it. A spokesperson for Lucasfilm revealed that Lucas will put the majority of his wealth into a foundation which will primarily focus on educational issues. "George Lucas has expressed his intention to donate the majority of the proceeds [from Lucasfilm sale] to his philanthropic endeavors," said the spokesperson. Over the years, Lucas has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to USC, Film Foundation, Stand Up To Cancer...

Other than an episode of Saturday Night Live, you’re not likely to see Seth Rogen, Emma Stone, Aziz Ansari, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, Ken Jeong, Andy Samberg and Samuel L. Jackson all in the same place. One thing that they, and many other celebrities have in common is their support for the charity organization StandUp2Cancer, and all of the good work that they do.
Now, they have teamed up with Lucasfilm and others to raise awareness for Stand Up To Cancer’s “Use the Force for Good” Campaign. They’ve created the nifty video below to promote the cause, and you can check out the press release below that for all the details and links to sites where you can help.

Epic Records will release the soundtrack to Showtime’s “The Big C” on June 7. The show stars Laura Linney as a patient with cancer, so it makes sense that Epic, Showtime, and Sony Pictures Entertainment, which produces the series, will donate 100% of the net profits from the soundtrack sales to Stand Up To Cancer. The non-profit raises funds for cancer research. The set features previously released tunes from Sara Bareilles, Franz Ferdinand, Modest Mouse, and Delta Spirit, among others. Track listing: 1.
