Okay, we put Vinny from ‘Jersey Shore’ in the title, so obviously, we’re using the term ‘genius’ fairly loosely.

But nevertheless, there are some celebs who are either geniuses or damn close to being geniuses. A high IQ, impeccable GPA, impressive college credentials…there are quite a few celebs who are incredibly smart, and some of them might surprise you. Actually, a lot of them might surprise you.

At any rate, here are ten celebs who are just as brainy as they are entertaining.

Jennifer Aniston is taking a break from playing the neurotic, babbling, rom-com “It” girl to take on a new role: director.

Aniston will direct a short film about breast cancer for Lifetime TV, as part of their five-part anthology series, Project Five.

I can see it already:

ANISTON: CUT!

SUBJECTS: What’s the problem?

ANISTON: Could you throw in some nervous chuckling or something?

SUBJECTS: This is a documentary about cancer.

ANISTON: Yeah. Try clearing your throat, but in a cute, girl-next-door kinda way.

The documentary will show how cancer has affected the lives of various people. Alicia Keys and Demi Moore will also be directing on the Lifetime project.

"We want these films to move people and empower those affected by breast cancer to stand tall through this challenge, which impacts all of our lives, no matter who we are," Aniston said.

Aside from melanoma, breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, and Aniston’s right, many of us have been either directly or indirectly affected by it.

Christina Applegate had a very public battle with breast cancer, and at VH1’s Do Something Awards, she told Hollyscoop: “This award is about them bringing some awareness to the causes that I care about, and that is woman with breast and ovarian cancer.

"I’m really happy that they are giving me an opportunity to talk about RightAction for women, which is my foundation to bring light to a disease that is not for old ladies anymore.”

Damn straight. So get those knockers checked, ladies!

Are you one of Lady Gaga's 7 million + followers on twitter? Sorry to disappoint but you won't be getting any tweets from the Queen of Twitter anymore.

Gaga, Alicia Keys and Justin Timberlake are just a few of the celebs giving up twitter for a good cause.

Kim Kardashian: I Fell off the Wagon

They're signing off from all social media platforms, and will not return until an AIDS charity - Keep a Child Alive, which is spearheaded by Alicia – has raised $1 million.

For the campaign, the stars have filmed “last tweet and testament” videos and will appear in adverts showing them lying in coffins to represent their ‘digital deaths’.

Who else is joining them? Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Ryan Seacrest, Elijah Wood and Serena Williams are all featured in the campaign, which will start on Wednesday, which is World AIDS Day.

Alicia Keys said no one she has approached had turned her down, explaining: "Once I got people on the phone and I was able to paint the concept for them, everybody was in."

A world with no celeb tweets? Bet Twitter isn't too thrilled about this. Since the company is worth a zillion dollars, they should just front the million themselves!

Parents to be Alicia Keys and producer Swizz Beatz finally said "I Do" in an intimate ceremony this weekend.

Alicia, who is pregnant with their first child, married Swizz in a ceremony in Corsica, France on Saturday in front of family, friends and A-list stars including U2 rocker Bono and Queen Latifah.

According to People magazine, Keys reportedly looked radiant in a flowing white gown and headband, while the groom wore a white tuxedo jacket, pink shirt and bow tie for their big day.

Unlike Chelsea Clinton's wedding, Alicia's was said to be a low-key affair, she was spotted in the pool just hours before the ceremony. Onlookers said she was happily showing off her growing baby bump.

Congrats you two! Can't wait to see photos from the wedding.
