DoSomething.org has revealed its annual “Celebs Gone Good” list of charitable celebrities.
Lady Gaga was named #1 for the second year in a row, beating out Justin Bieber, who jumped from #10 to #2.
Both stars are well known for their philanthropy projects, such as Gaga’s newly-announced Born This Way Foundation and Bieber’s many donations.
Several couples – and former couples – made the list, including Angelina Jolie and partner Brad Pitt (#8) as well as Demi Moore and her estranged husband Ashton Kutcher (#12).
