A big-budget H'wood project: Relief

Steven Spielberg is setting the pace for Hollywood giving to tsunami
victims. The "Schindler's List" director has committed a whopping
$1.5million to Save the Children, CARE and Oxfam - topping the $1
million Sandra Bullock promised this week.

Other entertainers are also getting in gear to help.

Sheryl Crow, Christina Aguilera and Tim McGraw have signed on for a
Jan. 15 benefit broadcast on NBC and its cable cousins MSNBC and USA.
George Clooney is helping to line up other celebs for the event.

Willie Nelson will headline a benefit concert on Sunday in Austin. The
rockers of Linkin Park have asked fans to contribute to Music for
Relief - and have kick-started the organization with their own $100,000
donation.

Sharon Osbourne has upped her commitment to $200,000 from $50,000. Jay
Leno is asking his celeb pals to sign a Harley that will be auctioned
for victims. Boy George and Cliff Richard have taped a song, "Grief
Never Grows Old."

Victoria's Secret mannequin Stephanie Seymour and husband Peter Brant
were among those who raised $15,000 at a benefit at the Tsunami
restaurant in Palm Beach this week.

And we hear that another supermodel, Petra Nemcova - who was caught in
the disaster with her boyfriend and laid up with a broken pelvis in
Thailand (the boyfriend is missing) - will fly by medevac plane Friday
morning to Prague, where her parents have a house. She's due to spend
the next month with them, recovering.
