Britney Spears was so moved by the stories on Fox’s Idol gives back that she has personally donated $25,000:

“She did it all on her own. She watched the show and cried for like two hours over the children in Africa with malaria,” a Spears family insider tells Life & Style. “She didn’t know much about the disease, so she Googled it. She was horrified to realize kids were dying from mosquito bites. So she went online and donated after getting [her dad] Jamie’s permission. She used her Amex.”

Way to make positive news, Brit! See how we aren’t calling for your head?

Though, if you want to bring us the head of Miley Cyrus, we’d be up for that.
