Bullock, who memorably contributed $1 million to Hurricane Harvey relief in 2017, recently donated $250,000 to the Central Texas Food Bank on behalf of her Ocean’s 8 castmates, in a clever scheme to assist people in need and make Ted Cruz look like a feckless weasel. Yet she continues to give back to her erstwhile state nevertheless. Like Beyoncé-and Cruz-Sandra Bullock no longer spends much time in Texas, having left her adopted Austin home for New Orleans some years ago.

(Meanwhile, Cruz made sure to pose for photos while handing out water bottles, before heading to the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) to complain about “cancel culture.” ) In the meantime, BeyGOOD continues to work on the ground in Houston, distributing water and hot meals to thousands in need. Naturally, the response was overwhelming, drawing more than 130,000 applications in the first 24 hours, forcing the program to shut down until all of those initial submissions can be reviewed. Instead, the Houston star set up a financial assistance program through her BeyGOOD foundation, joining with Adidas and the nonprofit Bread of Life to offer up to $1,000 in individual disaster relief payments. But the bare minimum has never been good enough for Beyoncé. For most of them, simply not being Ted Cruz might have sufficed. Painfully aware of this shift in priorities, several Texas celebrities set aside their own privileged lives and stepped up to help.

For the millions who lost power, it also completely shut off our screens, with movies, TV, and celebrity gossip becoming distant concerns as we spent our dwindling batteries on futilely refreshing outage maps. Not only did the most brutal winter storm we’ve seen in generations sweep away any idle thoughts of movie stars sunning themselves along the Pacific coastline, it replaced them with curdled resentment as we warmed ourselves with propane grills and burning hatred toward our local utility companies. Hollywood has surely never seemed so far from Texans’ minds as in the last two weeks. Hollywood, Texas is home to the week’s most notable show business news about Texas stars, Texas stories, and other roles our state was born to play.
