Gwyneth Paltrow Raises $90,000 Singing Karaoke

I’m a solid 7 on the fun scale, and I believe it’s my pretty strict no karaoke rule that keep me from achieving that 8 or 9 status. However, if $90,000 was on the line you better believe I’d grab that mic and sing my little vegan face off! Well apparently Gwyneth Paltrow and I have something in common.
Last week Paltrow participated in a Karaoke With The Stars event in London to help raise money for Palestinian refugee children. Paltrow got on the stage and belted Roberta Flack’s Killing Me Softly after a $90,000 bid was offered — the highest single bid of the evening.
Also in attendance were stars like Lily Cole, Lou Reed, Bruce Forsyth and Stella McCartney. The evening was a hit and raised over $440,000 for the Hoping Foundation. To see more pictures from the evening, visit uk.popsugar.com.
