STEVEN SPIELBERG has donated $1 million to the OCEAN’S THIRTEEN African charity push after learning stars like GEORGE CLOONEY and BRAD PITT had raised $8 million at the Cannes Film Festival.

The cast of the movie staged a fundraising evening for their Save Darfur campaign at the festival at the weekend – and raised a fortune.

Ocean’s Thirteen producer Jerry Weintraub reveals, “We’ve raised $9.2 million. We had $8 million and then Spielberg sent in another $1 million.

“(Brad) Pitt, (Don) Cheadle have been all over to the Sudan and we’re just trying to shine a light on what’s happening over there.”

Fundraisers are being planned to accompany every upcoming Ocean’s Thirteen premiere.
