Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey on Tuesday pledged $1 billion toward coronavirus relief efforts — representing 28 percent of his wealth. In a series of tweets, Dorsey said that the ten-figure sum would come out of his stake in Square, the payments processor he co-founded, rather than his Twitter shares. “I own a lot more Square,” Dorsey explained in a follow-up tweet. “I’ll need to pace the sales over some time.” “The impact this money will have should benefit both companies over the long-term because it’s helping the people we want to serve,” Dorsey said of his decision to give away close to one-third of his wealth. The money will be donated through his Start Small LLC charity fund. “After we disarm this pandemic, the focus will shift to girl’s health and education, and UBI,” Dorsey tweeted, referring to the idea of creating a “universal basic income” for all citizens. Those two issues, Dorsey said, “represent the best long-term solutions to the existential problems facing the world.” Dorsey, who for years has kept details of his charitable efforts private, said all donations to and from the fund will now be visible to the public through public documents. Dorsey’s announcement comes just days after Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos — the world’s richest man — donated $100 million to US food banks. The figure represents less than one-thousandth of one percent of Bezos’ $120 billion net worth, according to Forbes. The United States has recorded more than 380,000 coronavirus cases, with the total death toll rising to about 12,300. /> I’m moving $1B of my Square equity (~28% of my wealth) to #startsmall LLC to fund global COVID-19 relief.

In the two decades since their 13-year marriage ended, they have worked hard to build a happy friendship. And even in quarantine, Bruce Willis and Demi Moore are enjoying one another's company, donning matching pajamas as they self isolate with their adult children and their partners. In a picture posted to the Instagram page of daughter Tallulah, 26, Bruce and ex-wife Demi stand together, arms thrown around one another.
Meadow Walker shared an uplifting video on Tuesday featuring never-before-seen footage of her late dad, Paul Walker.
Meadow, 21, shared a clip that she said she never thought would be made public, but “felt right” to share. In the short video, a younger Meadow can be seen surprising Paul for his birthday.
“Hi!” Meadow shouts at her dad, who jumps at the sight of her after opening a door. Paul then falls back onto a bed in laughter at his shock, clutching his heart and asking,...

Dude... this place is seriously crazy. 3,500 square feet may not seem like much for a home, but it's pretty impressive when it's a condo in Manhattan. And a duplex to boot.
This incredibly sophisticated home has amazing detailing on the staircase railings and rooftop terrace as well as space galore. It's just 2 bedrooms, 2 full bath and 2 half bath, but that's just to make sure all rooms are large and luxurious.
Note that they should get along pretty well with the neighbors. They...
Sure the pair of Miley and Cody skeeves me out. I'm human. But I give props when they're deserved and I guess keeping the Cedars-Sinai in Tarzana, California swimming in taco's isn't a good deed, then I don't know what is.

Ezra Miller, who rather progressively asks to be addressed with the pronoun "they" instead of he or him, went in a very masculine direction with his inner demons recently.
I can't tell when the video was shot, but there's no mistaking what you see. Plus, a friend of the victim was there and recounted what happened.
Ezra was showing fans his 'scars' he got from fighting. When the next fans turn came to get a picture with them she playfully 'put up her dukes' and said "I could fight you"...
That wasn't click bait. Tekashi 69 got out of Jail only days ago and already he's making his presence known. In a rather strange, but humorous way.
Tabloid extraordinaire, @Theshaderoom, was letting it's followers know that the mayor of Los Angeles was hot on the trail of people not sheltering in place. They were asking for neighbors to rat out those around them that weren't following orders.
Something about a call to all snitches got Tekashi's attention and he hilariously commente...

I love this story. So we all know the world of Scientology has a celebrity hierarchy and John Travolta and Tom Cruise are at the top... Really, Tom is above John, but lets not split hairs in a time of crisis.
Supposedly a few weeks ago a secret memo went out to all Scientologist stating that Coronavirus was no more than hysteria and everyone should continue trucking in hauls of mo...
