Kristen Stewart Auctions Premiere Dress for Hurrican Sandy

Kristen Stewart is doing her bit for charity by auctioning off the dress she wore to the premiere of Breaking Dawn: Part 2. The actress has signed the Zuhair Murad creation and it's now being auctioned online.

The auction was organized to help people whose lives were turned upside down by the devastation of Hurricane Sandy. The proceeds from the dress will go to the Robin Hood Foundation, which is helping out with the relief effort.

Kristen was also involved in the 12/12/12 concert last week, where the donations also went to the Robin Hood Foundation.

While some pieces of celebrity memorabilia can reach extreme prices, let's hope this one sells for a high amount, as it's all going to a good cause!

"Time and again New Yorkers have proven to be the most resilient and compassionate people in the world," Sarandon told The Huffington Post. "It's a privilege to help support some of the families who have been devastated by Hurricane Sandy. Ping-pong is a wonderful excuse for a group of people to come together for a good cause."

 SPiN for the Cause will take place at her ping-pong nightclub, SPiN New York, and all are encouraged to attend (the cost of entry is a donation of whatever amount the guest would like to pay).  It is tonight at 8 PM and will feature cocktails, a number of DJs and, naturally, ping-pong. HuffPost's Entertainment Editor Kia Makarechi will be providing music from 9 to 10. Also available are raffle prizes from SPiN, Flex Mussels and Andre Balazs' Standard Hotel (Balazs and SPiN have teamed to open SPiN L.A. at the Downtown Standard). There will also be an open whiskey and vodka bar (for a minimum donation of $20), sponsored by Pinnacle Vodka and Maker's Mark.

Susan Sarandon  is well known for her activism, championing liberal causes and advocating on behalf of Occupy Wall Street.  She was in Las Vegas when the storm hit. 

I would like to attend this event!!

Some of the biggest names in music and television pulled together after the superstorm caused damages that amount to billions of dollars and took over 100 lives.

Peggy Dyer, the Chief Marketing Officer of the Red Cross said in a statement that they are incredibly grateful and humbled by the outpouring of support. "Our preliminary results of nearly $23 million raised are an extraordinary example of how the American people pull together in times of disaster," she said.

Music heavyweights like Sting, Jon Bon Jovi, Bruce Springsteen, Christina Aguilera, Steven Tyler, Mary J. Blige and Billy Joel all lent their talents to the telethon while celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg, Tina Fey, Kevin Bacon and Jon Stewart all provided their support.

While Dyer also noted that the proceeds will go directly to those in need, she has also urged to public to continue to donate.

Donnie Wahlberg's Apartment Floods during Hurricane Sandy

We've all seen and heard of the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy this week and Mother Nature certainly doesn't discriminate. Donnie Wahlberg reminded us of that when he posted several videos of him and a friend wading through his flooded apartment.

The plan had been to initially wait out the hurricane, surviving on Red Bull and bacon, but plans change and Wahlberg later found himself surrounded by water. The Blue Bloods actor and New Kids on the Block member remained in good spirits throughout the ordeal, encouraging his many Twitter followers to stay safe and not worry about the material things.

After suggesting everyone check in with their loved ones, Wahlberg left everyone with an inspiring tweet.

"In the worst of times... Somehow... Some way... Make the best of times! Life's too short to be down! Shake it off and pick yourself back up!"
