Whoopi Goldberg - Money can buy you flood insurance, but Hurricane Sandy left Manhattan in such a disarray that even celebrities are having trouble getting their homes back to normal. When asked bout how she's coping with the storm, Whoopi Goldberg said frankly, "I'm just trying to get my sh*t rebuilt." She even bonded with a paparazzo when finding out the shutterbug's car had been totalled in the storm. Natural disasters make for strange bedfellows!  (Photo: Heidi Gutman/NBCUniversal via Getty Images)

Jay-Z and Beyoncé - Jay and Bey have been proud residents of lower Manhattan for years. While they managed to escape to the safe haven of the Mandarin Oriental hotel, they didn't forget about their Hudson Street neighbors, who lost power and hot water during the storm. Jay-Z bought a generator for those in his building who didn't get to run uptown, earning the title of "guardian angel" of Sandy.  (Photo: WENN.com)

Tiger Woods - Woods's Hudson Street bachelor pad is just four blocks from the river and extremely vulnerable to flooding, power outages and storm damage. While his home and neighborhood may have suffered damage, at least his place of business — the Pittsford, New York golf course that is the site of the 2013 PGA tour — was left unscathed.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel - These newlyweds may have been honeymooning in Africa when the storm hit, but the Tribeca residents got to work providing relief to their neighbors as soon as they returned.

Swizz Beatz - Swizz Beatz is the perfect husband...as long as you don't ask his ex wife. Marriage may not have worked for him the first time around, but Alicia Keys certainly got the best of Swizz: devoted husband, doting father and plenty of romantic, gushy PDA. Beatz and Keys have been married two years, but we're betting on these two for the long haul.  (Photo: Fernando Leon/Getty Images for Haute Living)

Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz - SoHo residents Alicia and Swizz thankfully had a place to go when Sandy claimed their water and power. "My mother's place didn't lose power so we were able to take shelter with her,” Keys said, adding that trying to entertain their toddler Egypt without electricity was "interesting." Keys also had to postpone her annual Black Ball due to the storm.

Tyra Banks - The supermodel and mogul's pad is on the edge of Battery Park City, one of the areas hardest hit by the storm. While Banks was able to escape to a place where she could plug in her hair dryer, she tweeted support to her neighbors. "Stay strong...it WILL get better," she said.  (Photo: Chelsea Lauren/Getty Images)

Russell Simmons - While the Def Jam mogul and Battery Park resident was fortunate enough to take shelter in Los Angeles during the superstorm (which also ravaged his Hamptons property), he did point out a sobering reality about the homeless of NYC: "They're f*****," Simmons said bluntly. "[Mayor Bloomberg] did a s**** job."  (Photo: D Dipasupil/FilmMagic)

John Legend - He's made millions using his voice and the tips of his fingers, but Legend's brain is nothing to laugh at.

John Legend - Downtown-er Legend put fixing up his East Village home on the backburner in favor of lending a hand with pals Justin Timberlake and Timbaland in Far Rockaway, handing out canned goods and sleeping bags to those who don't have the luxury of checking into an uptown hotel. Legend's concert in midtown Manhattan was also cancelled to keep resources available for hurricane relief.  (photo: John Ricard / BET).

Rosie O'Donnell - O’Donnell was holed up in her $5.9 million mansion along the Hudson River in Nyack, New York, during the nasty storm and shared the scary details on Twitter. “2 huge branches down – broke the fence … just saw another huge sailboat flailing down the Hudson on high white swells,” she tweeted Monday. But the comedienne kept it all in perspective later. "All fixable," she wrote.(Photo: Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images)

Chris Rock - Rock had a lot to say in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, which rocked Lousiana's cities and towns years ago, but has remained silent following Sandy. Perhaps the Alpine, New Jersey resident was satisfied with the government's disaster relief efforts under President Obama?  (Photo: Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images)

The Cast of Jersey Shore - Was it the randomness of the elements, or divine intervention that put the Jersey Shore house right smack in the path of the storm of the century? Hard to say, but considering the infamous reality show hub remained mostly unscathed while the hurricane nearly obliterated most of its neighbors should be a clue. Snooki, Situation and the rest of the gang rose to the occasion and actively involved themselves in relief efforts.  (Photo: Charles Sykes/Invision/AP)
