After last year's census, we discovered that 81% of our readers "lived for" political scandals and celebrity gossip, which is kind of like, "yeah, well, duh." However, a more surprising fact was that 72% of you darling do-gooders participated in philanthropic events last year and 41% regularly empty out your pockets for charity. Congrats!

America's sweetheart Chris Brown drew ire earlier this week when celebrities took to Twitter to lambast his recent appearance at the Billboard Awards.
Facebook's stock continues to suck harder than a Northwestern University freshman on a 5-foot bong in his profile pic.
