So, how'd we look on TV? Last night was the television debut of CGG, when Top 20 Celebs Gone Good premiered on VH1, counting down the twenty most charitable celebrities of 2009. Months ago, we started with a list of 100 big stars who’ve shined this past year – actors, musicians, and athletes who’ve gone above and beyond to do good. From this 100, we left the voting up to you, and the 20 celebrities with the most votes made it to our countdown.

In case you missed it, here were the top 10:

1. Matt Damon
2. Oprah
3. Angelina Jolie
4. Lance Armstrong
5. Wyclef Jean
6. Shakira
7. Brad Pitt
8. Alicia Keys
9. Ashley Judd
10. Leo DiCaprio

Were you surprised at the list? Turns out 2009 was the year of the undercover do-gooder – celebs who gave their time, money, and yes, their fame, to helping out their cause, even if it didn’t mean getting tons of publicity or recognition. Head over to the VH1 website to watch highlights.

What did you think of the show? Be sure to let us know in the comments! And for more info on Matt’s work, check out his charity, water.org.
