Miley Cyrus at Disneyland

She might not be old enough to get a sponsored bash in Las Vegas, but she’ll certainly be old enough to take your money.

For ’ upcoming birthday, the teen star will be celebrating at the place responsible for her career: The Land of Disney. On October 5, the soon-to-be Sweet 16-er (whose actual birthday is November 23) will take over Disneyland in California...and she’s allowing paying ‘friends’ to join her.

Win a Meeting with Miley Cyrus

Miley CyrusIn an attempt to raise money for her family’s charity (and probably sound good PR for herself), is auctioning off a “meet and greet” with her at an upcoming red carpet event.

The person who bids the most money for the Pappy Cyrus Family Foundation - an organization that supports underprivileged children - will have the opportunity to join the singer at the November premiere of Bolt, an animated Disney film Cyrus is a part of. The bidding, which began last night and ends July 29, currently stands at just over $2000. (I believe parents paid just about that much for tickets to her last concert tour.)

Other items up for grabs in the eBay auction include clothing actually worn by the star and autographed posters and cds. You can learn more about the fundraiser from Miley in a video clip found after the jump.

Paris Hilton , 27, once promised the world she would do more good works in her life. This isn’t to say she won’t still star on somewhat trashy reality shows - she’s working on a project with MTV right now, in fact - but the heiress apparently isn’t afraid to give some of her millions away.

Hilton recently donated an “extremely generous” undisclosed sum to the to-be-constructed Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. “I am proud to make a donation and lend my name to the fund raising effort to help children who are facing terribly serious diseases,” Hilton said of her gift. The center Hilton donated to is scheduled to open in 2010.

Jolie-Pitt family

Are you expecting your 5th and 6th child? Have you recently purchased a $60 million castle? Well, then you’re probably cutting back on some of your other expenses. But then again, you’re probably not Brad Pitt or .

Today, the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict announced that the saintly couple has generously donated a cool $1 million to its organization. Once distributed, the funds will help children - American and Iraqi - affected by the war overseas. (As if the couple didn’t have enough kids to worry about.)

In a statement, Pitt said he wants their gesture to inspire more acts of charity. “We hope to encourage others to give to these great organizations.”

Ugh. Could these two possible make me love/hate them more?

Take for instance.  Even though the show mom has seen one daughter fall off the wagon (and out of her clothes) and the other child aspiring to emulate her big sis, she’s set to be labeled a “Top Mom” at a charity event tonight.
