SANDRA BULLOCK - BULLOCK DONATES $1 MILLION

SANDRA BULLOCK is encouraging Hollywood's millionaires to give generously to the post-tsunami relief effort in Asia after donating $1 million (GBP526,300) to help support emergency groups.

The actress contacted the American Red Cross last week (ends31DEC04) and asked how she could help, according to trade paper HOLLYWOOD REPORTER.

This is the second time the generous star has handed over $1 million to the charity - she donated a similar amount after the terrorist attacks on America in 2001.

A Red Cross spokesman says, "Sandra continues to enable our lifesaving work and is a model for personal generosity."
