BLESSED IS HE WHO, IN THE NAME OF CHARITY…

Looks like parenthood is having a really positive effect on Joel Madden and his former wild child babymama Nicole Richie.

The adorable couple made an impromptu visit (no publicists involved!) to the Children’s Collective in South Central Los Angeles today to help out some in-need kids.

The non-profit organization services more than 4000 children, youth, and their families with things like childcare, preschool programs and employment training.

Nicole and Joel were there to not only offer their money, but also their time.

    Playing the humanitarian card, no wonder they get good press, more proof that it’s no longer about talent.

    WOW.. guess shit talkers will be shit talkers.. wtf have you done for humanity or anyone besides yourselves lately? Bitch cuz celebs don’t do enough.. Bitch when they do something - they’re just doing it for publicity — so fucking WHAT!?!?! They’re doing SOMETHING aren’t they.. which, last time I checked was more than NOTHING. I’m sure the children at the hospital would beg to differ with your cynical view point — oh and the mothers benefitting from their non-profit probably aint bitching either.. for Godsakes, bitch about people who AREN’T doing anything.

    Well honey you go and pay for illegal alien healthcare and welfare since they have already bankrupted los angeles, and many other cities. I’ve paid enough taxes and done enough charity. Enough of absorbing the worlds poverty. We are a generous country to a fault.

    @ Enforce the damn laws : I think Americans are generous ( especially with charity work) but not the government. European countries give about 0,4 % of their national income to developing countries, Japan and America 0,15 %. The united nations advise 0,7 %.

    Well if you trust the Corrupt United Nations and your government that much then keep on giving. I know better.

    Yes that explains why europeans are afraid of their own immigrant populations that come out to burn cars whenever they feel offended. Maybe if we give them more money they won’t turn on us LOL.

    I totally agree with you Only 1! Even if they were doing it for publicity, which they are not in this instance, at least they were doing something to help. I’d much rather they help someone out for publicity than go and flash their crotch or something. At least this way its a win/win situation. A charity gets a helping hand and the celebs get some good press. There’s nothing wrong with that.

    My, how easily we get swayed! All it takes is adopting an orphan to forget a drug-kink past, drop in on a charity to overlook a ridiculously lived life. Yep, you guys are bang on. They are angels all right. Awesome.

    Why don’t just go directly to the UN it worked for the so called A list.

    @ Commenter nr 7: I’m not “giving” anything through the government, it’s called “paying your taxes” DUH! Noticed the words “national income”…? I know the UN is corrupt but that doesn’t change the fact that I have to pay my taxes now does it? I like organizations such as kiva.org and http://www.fistulafoundation.org/, which are the ones I support.

    @ comment nr 9 : WTF has that to do with charity work? Some people are so easily offended. LMAO. Anyway, I think both continents have had their fair share of riots. BTW Most europeans are not afraid of immigrants.

    well obama already said he will raise your taxes and his global philosophy is to bow at the altar of the united nations, so hold on to your wallets. 7% global tax will trigger global socialism and one world government ,. Happy globalism, NAU, AMERO, PPS , no more usa !

    Post 16 true most euros are not afraid of immigrants until they riot and burn cars ………or like when the stabbed THEO VAN GOGH in the middle of the day in a street because he made a movie “submission” practicing his FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

    ^So you admit your xenophobic, then? Because Van Gogh’s murderer was a freaking DUTCH CITIZEN (see? I can caps my words too!). He was born in Amsterdam, a second generation migrant. Not illegal by any means. Try again.

    When is the media going to stop avoiding Obama’s ties to home grown terrorists.This guy has coasted to the nomination on media hype, just wait till the republicans peel the bark off of him.

    Anon– the murderer was a legal Dutch citizen, who happened to be extremist. How you somehow equated immigration to violent forms of extremism is beyond me, however. We were all migrants at some point. Why (by all appearances, thus far) are you targeting people with different religions, skin colors, and cultures than you?
