Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, donates $100 million to Newark School System


It will be announced today on Oprah that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg will donate $100 million to the Newark School System. This though the 26-year-old billionaire has no real ties to Newark! Zuckerberg was born in Westchester, NY and currently lives in California.

Zuckerberg -- who is said to be worth about $2 billion -- met Newark Mayor Cory A. Booker (Dem.) at a conference in July, and Zuckerberg became interested in Booker's stated plans for the school system. The two met a few more times, and an impressed Zuckerberg made the monetary pledge. It's not the first donation that the baby-faced executive has made, but it is his largest. Oprah Winfrey has also been a generous benefactor to the Newark School System in the past.



According to reports, Newark currently spends about $22,000 annually per student, yet only about 1/2 of it's 44,000 pupils graduate -- and only about 1/5 of those go on to college. And about 85 percent of Newark students attending community colleges need remedial math and english.

New Jersey Govenor Chris Christie will appear with Zuckerberg and Booker on Oprah to officially announce the donation.

Katy Perry Too Sexy for Sesame Street!



Singer Katy Perry, the popstar most famous for her song, I Kissed A Girl, will not be appearing on Sesame Street after all. Though her appearance was already taped, and the video released to YouTube, the show has bowed to public pressure and zapped the singer's appearance from their upcoming schedule. (You can see video below!)

In a press release the producers of Sesame Street said:

“In light of the feedback we’ve received on the Katy Perry music video which was released on YouTube only, we have decided we will not air the segment on the television broadcast of Sesame Street, which is aimed at preschoolers. We use parodies and celebrity segments to interest adults in the show because we know that a child learns best when co-viewing with a parent or care-giver. We also value our viewer’s opinions and particularly those of parents.”

Sexy Katy is not the only singer/celeb to be pulled from a Sesame Street schedule. R&B Singer, Chris Brown, who appeared on Sesame Street in 2007 doing a duet with Elmo, was notified that his appearance would no longer be shown on reruns after the flack created around the 2009 Rhianna beating.



Elmo, however, announced on Good Morning America that Katy Perry will be invited back to Sesame Street for a future taping. Um, maybe on where she's wearing a tad more clothes?
