The singer, in association with the Bendon company, has donated $10.5 million to the Marine Corps' Toys for Tots program.
“Growing up in rural Georgia, I know that sometimes Christmas isn’t a time of joy for some kids,” Gilbert said. “Our contribution might be all they receive this year, so I really wanted our donation to matter.”
Gilbert is currently on a holiday break and returns to the road for The Blackout Tour in late January.


Seen on Billboard today: “I love what he says, I have to admit... I really like him... He can be president and not owe anybody anything. He’s one of the few people that has the money to do it and has the guts to do it.” -Kenny Rogers on Donald Trump #YouPickedAFineTimeToLeaveMeGoodSense

The Game has pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of making criminal threats and a misdemeanor assault and battery after an altercation with an off duty police officer during a basketball game earlier this year.
The rapper, whose real name is Jayceon Taylor, entered the plea yesterday in an LA courtroom.
The officer testified earlier this month that Taylor had threatened to kill him after punching him during the game.
The judge ruled there was sufficient evidence for Taylor to stand trial on the charges, but no trial date was set.

R. Kelly walked out of a Twitter Q&A with fans after just 20 minutes during a live video interview with Huffington Post Monday.
Kelly, who was trying to promote his new album, Buffet, said that a “lack of support” and computer downloads have led to poor sales of the album.
Host Caroline Modarressy-Tehrani then asked whether a lack of support for R. Kelly the person versus R. Kelly the artist might have something to do with the history of sex crime allegations against him, and Kelly got testy.
“I didn't come here for negative. I came here for positive,” he answered. “I don't give people that's negative towards me the time of day ... When you start getting negativity coming at you, you pretty much don't wanna hear that crap. Especially if it was, what, I don't know how many years ago. So what I'm gonna tell you is that I am going to sit here and talk gonna talk to you like the beautiful lady you are and I'm gonna talk to you with respect but I'm gonna let you know that any other negative things come at me out of your mouth, as far as negativity, I'm gonna get up and walk out and I'm gonna go to McDonald's. Hopefully, the McRib is out and I'm going to go home to Chicago, play me some basketball, go to the studio and work on my next album.”
When Modarressy-Tehrani pressed, Kelly made good on his word. There's no confirmation to the rumor that he peed on something on the way out.
