Britney Spears was so moved by TV special “Idol Gives Back” yesterday (April 9) that she decided to give 25,000 dollars to the cause. "She did it all on her own. She watched the show and cried for like two hours over the children in Africa with malaria,” a source close the family told Life & Style. "She didn’t know much about the disease, so she (used her computer to search for) it. She was horrified to realize kids were dying from mosquito bites. So she went online and donated after getting [her dad] Jamie's permission. She used her Amex,” added the insider.
