Believe it or not, prime-time starlets have hearts, too! Well, some of 'em do, anyway. One of these TV hotties doesn't always think about herself—she manages to cram in some karma for the sake of helping others, how sweet!

Can ya guess who it is?

Guess the Gossip: Oct. 5, 2009

Which boob-tube babe has a surprisingly big ole heart of gold?
Mischa Barton, who might not feed herself often but went down to an L.A. food shelter to feed the homeless
20.9%
AnnaLynne McCord, who gladly donated a big-ass chunk of her hard-earned paycheck to charity
38.1%
Blake Lively, who, in trying to improve her rep, rescued more puppies than she has room for in her New York pad
41.1%

 

Answer: AnnaLynne McCord!

This blond honey might play the spoiled brat who gets everything with daddy's credit card on 90210, but AnnaLynne in real life is far from being spoiled.

At the fab annual Macy's Passport Fashion Show at the Santa Monica Airport's Barker Hangar, McCord donated $5,000 (and in these times, that's pretty damn sweet) to the organization, which gives money to HIV/AIDS charities and research.

Does that seem like not that much from a well-paid star on a hit show? Hey, sorry, it is. And it's more generous than most of the swag-grabbers running around T-town, that's for sure.

We bet ex Kellan Lutz is really beating himself up for screwing it up with this bighearted babe.

Oh, by the by, La Toya Jackson also gave five grand—how cool is that? And I’m going to choose to be classy here (not that I care for the emotion terribly) and say this had nothing to do with Ms. J. already spending loot from Michael’s estate. Nada.
