Taylor Swift was able to fake surprise[1] yet again this year, when she topped DoSomething.org's list of "Top 20 Celebs Gone Good of 2013."[2] The 24-year-old singer beat out ex-boyfriend Harry Styles, [3] who was honored at the No. 2 spot along with the rest of One Direction.


The list is curated not only according to the amount of money a celebrity has given, but awareness raised and time spent helping others. Swift's efforts include performing to raise funds for the homeless and assisting a number of organizations in Tennessee, as well as donating $100,000 to the Nashville Symphony in honor of her birthday.[4]


“It’s pretty amazing that the top two spots on the list are held by celebrities under age 25,” [5] said Naomi Hirabayashi, DoSomething.org CMO. “This rising generation is using their money and star power for good.”


Other charitable celebrities include Beyonce, Jennifer Lawrence and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Justin Bieber, who was named the second most philanthropic celebrity last year, fell to the twentieth spot, likely because he was too busy getting into trouble[6] to volunteer much in 2013.

Monroe passed away a half-century ago this week, a murky death that remains one of Hollywood's most tantalizing mysteries. But look around: Her legend lives on, more vibrantly than ever. In a twist she surely would have appreciated, this 1950's bombshell has become a 21st-century pop culture phenom. (AP Photo/Dan Steinberg, File)
