The saying is “it is better to give than to receive” and it looks like a few celebrities have no problem giving. Carmelo Anthony and Will and Jada Smith have been named numbers 22 and 20 respectively on The Giving Back Fund’s “Giving Back 30,” a list of the 30 celebrities who made the largest donations to charity in 2010 according to public records.

Through their charity the Will and Jada Smith Family Foundation, the couple made huge donations totaling more than $900 thousand to the Lupus Foundation, the Baltimore School for the Arts and the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

While Anthony and The Smiths ranked high on the list, which also includes writers, producers, musicians and comedians, the top giver was actress Jami Gertz and her husband Antony Ressler whose donations totaled more than $10.5 million given to their Ressler Gertz Foundation. DAMN!

Congratulations to La La Anthony! Homegirl has another business venture poppin’ off!

La La Anthony, entertainer and star of VH1’s hit series La La’s Full Court Life, has teamed with longtime friend Loren Ridinger, senior vice president of Market America/SHOP.com and creator of the award-winning Motives® by Loren Ridinger® cosmetics line, to create Motives® for La La, a line of makeup uniquely-formulated for every shade of today’s modern woman.

Motives for La La includes mineral base lipsticks, blushes, lip shines and more, and will be formally introduced next month at Market America’s 2012 World Conference at the American Airlines Arena in Miami, FL. This three-day event, attended by 25,000 people, showcases the company’s newest initiatives, latest products and exciting new business opportunities. La La is scheduled to appear on stage with Loren to launch the product line.

La La made it a point to emphasize colors and products for African American and Latina women, due to the lack of prominence many beauty lines place on ethnic markets. Motives by La La achieves this goal, as the partnership between La La and Loren has resulted in a line that shares their love of makeup through products and colors that give a complete look – eyes, cheeks, lips – for women of every shade.

“Having my name on a cosmetics line has always been a dream, one I’m excited to share,” La La said. “Every girl always tries to find that perfect color or shade that suits their personality, and now she can do it easily and affordably.”

Through her own life story – as a young woman blazing her own path to find success in the media and entertainment industries – or through the many philanthropic causes she takes up, La La has always seen herself as a role model for others. With this partnership, La La has found a perfect ally in Loren and her Motives cosmetics brand.

The line contains six product types – lipsticks, lip shines, eyeshadows, blushes and shimmer – that showcase La La’s distinct style. With powerful color combinations and exclusive branding that includes names like Red Carpet, Dreamer, Off Broadway, Backstage and more, Motives for La La is a perfect blend of runway and everyday styles embodying the woman this line was created for.

“Partnering with a woman as talented and beautiful as La La is an easy decision for us,” said Loren. “She embodies the qualities that Motives® cosmetics is all about – passion, dedication, aspiration. We are really looking forward to bringing Motives for La La to the market.”

We’re definitely gonna have to check this stuff out… Props to La La.

Turn That Frown Upside Down: Celebrities That Have Had To Battle Some Sort Of Depression

This shortened NBA season looks like it may just be exciting after all…

After using the amnesty clause on Chauncey Billups, the Knicks have been hunting a new starting point guard. Mike Bibby recently signed, but that’s not exactly the answer.

Baron Davis was amnestied by the Cavs and cleared waivers, opening up the opportunity for him to sign anywhere. And that anywhere has turned out to be the Knicks, according to ESPN.com and confirmed by Ken Berger of CBSSports.com

With the Knicks being well over the cap, the deal had to be for the veteran minimum or the “mini mid-level” the Knicks have. According to SI.com, it is indeed for the $2.5 mini mid-level.

Which is why this makes a lot of sense for New York. It’s a low risk, potentially high value signing. Davis still has a lot of game left, it just comes down to motivation and health. And with him being in New York playing on a solid Knicks team, you have to think he’s going to be ready.

He’s dealing with a back injury though, and could be out up to 8-10 weeks. However, after being amnetied by the Cavs, that timetable miraculously dropped to 4-6.

Other teams reportedly going after Davis were the Heat and Lakers, so the Knicks landing their target to likely start once he’s healthy is a big move. Not to say Davis is going to be a star or anything, but considering the options right now for New York, Davis is about as good as they could do in their situation. Bibby is a nice veteran backup, Toney Douglas isn’t a point guard and Iman Shumpert is mostly an unknown. Davis could at least step in and handle the offense.

Knicks fans, hate it or love it?!?!

Paula Patton, Kerry Washington, and Tyrese, were among the many beautiful people poppin’ champagne for Hov.

Today was supposed to be payday for NBA players, but thanks to the lockout that didn’t happen. Find out how much money the big names missed out on today.

The players got a taste of the life without a steady stream of NBA paychecks and we’re not sure how much they’re hurting. But this money looks like some big bucks to us. Imagine how much they stand to lose if they go a whole season missing these paychecks. Holy Moly. And remember, these figures come from ONE paycheck.

Being on a reality TV show could suck the life out of a person, but can you imagine how to sustain love with no privacy and your “business” constantly on blast for the world to see?

Check out our list of couples who were able to keep the flame going while the cameras were rolling…

The star power was definitely in the building last night for a good, charitable cause.

Alicia Keys rounded up some of her highest profile, A-List celebrity friends to join her in a fundraiser dinner/auction to drop some stacks to help bring “consciousness and awareness” to the HIV/AIDS epidemic affecting the world.

Her charm and talent helped the singer raise $401,500 through auctions at her Black Ball event, which celebrates Keep a Child Alive, her 8-year-old organization aiding HIV/AIDS victims in Africa and India.

A dinner party with Edward Norton and Naomi Watts went for $25,000 and a trip to Paris Fashion Week to see shows by Givenchy sold for $15,000. The top bid was a lifetime membership to all Donald Trump golf properties, selling at $180,000.

Keys was joined onstage by Usher, Richie Sambora, Norah Jones, Gary Clark, Jr., and others at the event Thursday night at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom. She closed the night with Black Eyed Peas’ leader will.i.am, singing Fergie’s verse on the hit “I Gotta Feeling,” which had Keys’ mom and younger brother dancing happily onstage.

The event honored the charity’s commitment to India, showing videos of children in the country battling with HIV/AIDS, and being kicked out of their homes as a result.

“We all deserve a chance at life,” Keys said in an interview on the red carpet. “Tonight really goes to the people. It really goes to the people that we serve, so that they can have the medicine to live.”

Sounds like the night and fundraiser was a huge success.
