Most people have a godparent, it's usually a close friend of your parents. When someone asks you to be the godparent of their child it's a huge honor or it's code for "You have to be available to baby sit, no questions asked."

Here are some celebs that might surprise you are godparents too.

Lady Gaga: Lady Gaga is the godmother to Elton John's son. Gaga and Elton met last January when they performed together at the Grammy's and collaborated on "Gnomeo and Juliet" and I guess the rest is history.

Elton John: Elton John is the godfather to both the Beckham boys, Brooklyn and Romero. Their godmother is Liz Hurley. This is like a who's who of diva UK royalty.

Hollywood's biggest stars got together yesterday to raise money for victims of the earthquake in Haiti during a telethon hosted by George Clooney.

Jack Nicholson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Ben Affleck and Mel Gibson manned a bank of telephones in Los Angeles, while tens of millions of TV viewers were treated to a string of performances and appearances by Madonna, Justin Timberlake, Jay-Z, Rihanna and Bono.

Alicia Keys kicked off the telethon with a performance of her hit Prelude to a Kiss, before Chris Martin from Coldplay teamed up with good pal Beyonce to perform her song Halo.

Bruce Springsteen followed Keys with a rendition of his song We Shall Overcome; Sheryl Crow, Kid Rock and Keith Urban sang Lean on Me; Madonna performed Like A Prayer; Justin Timberlake and Matt Morris covered Leonard Cohen classic Hallelujah and Jennifer Hudson belted out Let it Be.

Other performers included Christina Aguilera, Mary J. Blige, Coldplay and Taylor Swift. Between performances, stars including Denzel Washington, Robert Pattinson, Nicole Kidman and Matt Damon shared the stories of just some of the earthquake's victims.

Speaking to MTV after the event, Clooney said, "I hope we made some money out of this. The only way to make this a success is to make a considerable amount of money."

Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston were in the same building at the same time, but they reportedly avoided each others paths.

Stars have already donated millions of dollars to victims of the Haiti earthquake. If you want to help too, visit Hopeforhaitinow.org

Bono's bank account is as big as his heart--and that's saying a lot! But the U2 rocker is starting to think he's seriously overpaid for what he does.

Bono, who has an estimated net worth of almost $700 million, says he donates as much money as he can to charity because he thinks he makes more than he deserves.

Speaking at the launch of Nike's 'Lace Up, Save Lives' campaign, which aims to raise awareness and funds for the (Red) charity, Bono said: "I am very well paid, overpaid and even over-rewarded for what I do."

The charity event was attended by a number of football stars and Bono added: "These guys are very wealthy. But a lot of these soccer guys are giving something back and they don't need to do that."

Bono has donated millions of dollars to various charity campaigns throughout the year so he's truly an inspiration.

Throughout his career he's received 3 nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize, and was even knighted in 2007! If only there were more celebrities like you Bono--the world would truly be a better place!

Rolling Stone magazine has come out with a list of 100 people they believe to be “Agents of Change,” featuring those who are changing the world with their powerful ideas.

Topping the list unsurprisingly is Barack Obama, but he’s followed by a few celebrities that may take you by surprise, like Kanye West and Tina Fey.

So how did Rolling Stone come up with their list? They say, “We've ranked 100 artists and leaders, policymakers, writers, thinkers, scientists and provocateurs who are fighting every day to show us what is possible — whether it's engineering a new electrical grid, reinventing the way movies are made or challenging us to let go of our illusions and face the brave new world that stands before us.”

They say with Obama’s election, “change is no longer a dreamy notion but a reality — and a responsibility.” Perhaps that’s why he takes the top spot.

Tina Fey, who takes the #8 spot, is honored for her “new age feminism” and “self-deprecating, gimlet-eyed humor.” We’ll take that humor any day of the week, and she’s definitely become the one to watch ever since her Sarah Palin impressions.

As for Kanye, he came in at #7, noting his creativity in the “moribund world of commercial hip-hop.”

Unsurprisingly, Bono is a frontrunner at #4. Rolling Stone claims he’s changing the entire world. They say, "Bono's tireless lobbying of the likes of George W. Bush and Tony Blair helped lead to billions in debt relief and additional aid to Africa — and it feels like he's just getting started.

He followed that with Red Campaign, which fuses commerce and charity, and Edun, his wife's African-made clothing line. All that, and U2 are still making some of their best music with the new No Line on the Horizon.”

But no one beats Obama! It’s great to see that people still have the same kind of excitement about him that they did before he was elected. He has proven in his early days in office that he’s committed to change, so that’s what earns him the top spot on the list!
