This Week's Inspirational Pop Culture Moments

By parlance

This week a movie star prepares to break her long silence for a good cause, a “Choir” goes to Royal Albert Hall, and a rock star tribute benefits War Torn Countries. Here are this week's most inspirational pop culture moments.

Sandra Bullock, The Today Show, and the Big Easy 

We all knew that it would happen eventually. But conventional wisdom has been that Sandra Bullock would do her first post-Jesse James scandal interview with her BFF, talk show host George Lopez this fall.

Luckily for Sandy lovers, she found something important to talk about sooner than that. The internet is buzzing with the news that the Oscar-winning actress will make an appearance next Tuesday on The Today Show. No, she's not promoting a new film or clearing up any rumors about Jesse and Kat Von D (hopefully Matt Lauer will be respectful and leave that out of the conversation all together).

Instead, Bullock is showing up on the morning show to spread the word about the New Orlean’s Warren Easton Charter High School, where she has funded an on-campus health clinic. On the five year anniversary of the Hurricane Katrina tragedy this month, Sandy and New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu will perform a ribbon cutting ceremony at the new facility.

Why is Bullock giving back in the Big Easy? She's a recent transplant to the city, due in part to her adopted baby Louis, who was born there.
