Though most of you are against the idea of Facebook Credits on the principle that paying real money for virtual goods is a bad idea, what if your real-dollar-funded Facebook Credits could go toward a real cause like cancer research?

Tonight's Stand Up to Cancer telethon will not only allow donations via its Facebook page, but it will also allow donations to be made in Facebook Credits. The annual telethon features a range of celebrities and is broadcast across networks to solicit donations to fund cancer research.

Sometimes it might seem as though my heart is made of snark, but really, when celebrities get together to raise money for a good cause, I just have to stand in awe of their power. That's why I'm curious to see tonight's Stand Up to Cancer telethon, which will be broadcast on ABC, CBS, NBC, and E! starting at 8 p.m. EDT.

The one-hour special brings together celebrities and journalists to raise awareness about cancer and money to fight it. More than 60 stars have signed on, including Jessica Alba, Ellen DeGeneres, Keanu Reeves, Carrie Underwood, Scarlett Johansson, America Ferrera, Meryl Streep, Forest Whitaker, and Christina Applegate, who will talk about her own experience battling breast cancer. The news anchors from the three major networks will also chip in, presenting facts about cancer and talking about the latest advances.

Among the major events is the debut of the video for the single "Just Stand Up," a collaboration between Mariah Carey, Sheryl Crow, Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, and others.

Christina Applegate stuck to watching from the beach as her shirtless fiancé Martyn LeNoble tested out his surfing skills at the Surfrider Foundation's 5th annual celebrity expression session in Malibu on Saturday. It was her second philanthropic event of the weekend after attending Friday's Stand Up 2 Cancer telethon. Sam Trammell, who's come a long way in terms of career and hotness, stripped off his wetsuit to show off his abs after hitting the waves. The dramatic season three finale of True Blood aired last night and on it Sam's character took a turn for the dark side. Anthony Kiedis and One Tree Hill's Austin Nichols also tested the waters during the fun, athletic, shirtless guy-filled afternoon by the ocean.
