If you're still wondering what Drew Barrymore's top-secret announcement is, let the mystery end here. The Charlie's Angels star announced on Monday's Oprah Winfrey Show that she is donating $1 million to the World Food Programme, a charity that feeds hungry children.

Barrymore's munificence is part of WFP's effort to feed 10 million hungry children by Thanksgiving Day. Statistically speaking, if every Oprah viewer donates $50, they can reach that goal, according to the WFP website. Barrymore has worked with WFP for five years as an Ambassador Against Hunger, traveling twice to Kenya to see the org's work in action.

I was hoping it was something about Drew switching to a Mac. But feeding kids is good, too. — Mickey O'Connor

She would have been horrified to see the last 2 episodes of Big Brother, in which they wasted TONS of fish and asparagus that could have fed many, many hungry children and adults.

that is very generous - how many American children will be fed through this program?

Here's an idea...instead of Oprah giving her audience thousands of dollars of "Her Favorite Things" maybe she could get the companies to donate the cash value of these items in. She could still rpomote the products on her show. But then I guess she wouldn't be whipping her audience into an orgasmic frenzy. ]<img border=">
