Duff concerts to help aid tsunami victims.

NEW YORK (AP) -- Teen actress-singer Hilary Duff is donating a portion of all ticket sales from her sold-out "Most Wanted" tour to aid tsunami relief efforts.

"I, just like everyone else, have watched this terrible tragedy and feel so sorry for the children and the families who have lost so much," Duff said in a statement Monday. "I want to do everything I can to help those that have survived."

Duff, 17, will give the money to Kids With a Cause, which helps children who suffer from poverty, hunger, sickness, lack of education, abandonment, neglect and abuse. The "So Yesterday" singer and "A Cinderella Story" star will present the check to officials at the United Nations in March.

Duff has 15 dates left on her "Most Wanted" tour.

I commend her on that.

UPDATE:
From IMDB, we learn about Famke Jannsen's efforts.

Former Bond girl Famke Janssen has recorded a tsunami disaster aid ad in her native Holland after learning her sister and her kids were nearly swept out to sea in the disaster. The model-turned-actress heard about her sister miraculous escape before she learned of the December 26 tragedy, which left huge areas of south east Asia devastated and more than 150,000 dead. She says, "My sister was in Thailand vacationing on a little island with her little kids and they escaped death by like a second. I'm thrilled that they made it out alive. I was actually lucky because I found out that she was OK first before I even heard about what had happened there. I was travelling from Amsterdam to New York so I'm so happy that I didn't have that time period of not knowing what happened." Janssen admits the thought of her family almost being caught up in the tragedy prompted her to use her fame to do whatever she could. She adds, "It's really tragic and it's sad because the future of the countries, most of them relied on tourism as their primary income. If you want to do something donate money, which I did, and I did something for Dutch television. But watching TV and getting depressed over it, it doesn't actually help anybody, so those are for me the things that I have to eliminate out of my life because they are not very productive."

We have the worst natural disaster in years and Bill O'Reilly is criticizing those that aid the victims. Bill, don't you remember September 11, 2001, in which we suffered one of our worst attacks on UNited States soil. Did we not have benefit concerts or telethon's then? George Clooney goes on the offensive. Nick must be proud.

George Clooney has gone on the offensive with American news man Bill O'Reilly again, for attacking celebrity charity efforts. Outspoken Fox news anchor O'Reilly lashed out at Clooney, among others, when the movie star helped organized a telethon in the days after the 9/11 tragedy - and now he's on the attack again. Stating he's merely "holding the powerful accountable," O'Reilly has questioned the celebrities behind this weekend's tsunami relief telethon in America - and their reasons for taking part. Clooney, who will be among those giving up their time for the hour-long TV special, has again taken offence to O'Reilly, and has fired off an angry letter to the broadcaster. In the missive, the Ocean's Twelve star pokes fun at O'Reilly for getting his charities mixed up in his televised protest last week. Clooney also alleges that O'Reilly has reverted to attacking charitable stars to boost ratings for his daily show The O'Reilly Factor. The actor writes, "Your report last Thursday was a pre-emptive strike... not to protect the families affected by the tsunami, but to create more controversy." Clooney ends the letter by urging O'Reilly to join the relief effort, and stop criticizing it, adding, "This is your chance to put your considerable money where your considerable mouth is... Show up... Help raise money."

George, if you read this, please consider coming back to Kentucky to run for office. If Dana Seum Stephenson can go to Indiana and come back and run before the minimum 6 years residency requirement, you can too!
