Looks like Justin Timberlake was painting the town red all last week with a line-up of charity events he held for the kiddies!
On Friday night, Justin hosted his Justin Timberlake and Friends Benefit at Las Vegas' Planet Hollywood Resort Theatre for the Performing Arts to help raise money for the Shriners Hospitals for Children . The event saw an impressive list of star artists support Justin's cause by performing that night, including the Jonas Brothers, Rihanna, Will.i.am, Adam Levine, 50 Cent, Boyz II Men, and Leona Lewis. Besides the bevy of star musical hits, the night was also a sure-fire success with over $1 million raised for the Shriners Hospitals.
That following day, Justin continued his work with the medical organiazation by holding The Shriners Hospitals for Children open where JT ran a junior golf clinic for 100 lucky little ones-- half of whom were actual Shriners patients. As tournament host, Justin can add his name to the other 14 celebs who have hosted a tournament event, including Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, and Sammy Davis Jr.
Make sure to check out the video above to see Justin talk about his week's charity experiences at both events!!

I wish I could raise a million dollars by putting my name on an invitation. What is it about celebrities that makes people more likely to open their wallets?
They have a big wallet, so in my opinion this is perfectly normal that they open it.
why cant charity events be hot spots for celebrities? not that they don't do enough- but why does the media always focus on what clubs they are at and all of that stuff? props to CGG for breaking this mold. maybe the new hip place to be will be a fundraising party and not the swankiest bar!!!!
Wow that ET woman is soooooo annoying! No wonder I don't watch this show. I can't even focus on what he is saying because she is so lame. New hat? Who cares?
I totally agree! Was thinking the same re: the hat bit. This reporter is kinda dopey. And why did they cut him off when he was talking about where the money goes for the hospitals -- to talk about hats? Justin is the real deal when it comes to charity -- he gives. And he gives through his music, his dancing -- everything.
I also saw him talking about voting -- that if you vote and your candidate doesn't win, then you can complain, but if you DON'T vote, you can't complain about anything. Love you, JT!
