"I did it! Thank you to everyone who is donating!" the chanteuse (full name: Jessica Ellen Cornish) tweeted. And her efforts were worth it: With One Direction, Simon Cowell and other British stars taking part, the Comic Relief special raised 75 million British pounds — or $113 million in U.S. currency — towards various causes in the UK and Africa.

"[It] is something I've promised to do for a long time and Comic Relief has given me the opportunity to try and raise as much money as possible for good causes by doing it," Jessie J said in an earlier statement. "I''ve loved watching Red Nose Day since I was a kid and I'm so excited to join this year's team of celebrity fundraisers. So I'll be shaving my head live on the night! I won't deny that I'm nervous but I am also honored to be part of this year's campaign."
