"Drenched and freezing for a cause! Scores of celebrities joined the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge over this past week to help raise money and awareness for Lou Gehrig&amp;apos;s disease. Here, Us Weekly has compiled a master cut of your favorite celebrities, like Justin Timberlake, Chris Pratt, Jennifer Lopez, and Oprah, participating in the viral campaign.\r\n\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;All right, you can see here. I am accepting the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge,&amp;quot; Timberlake said. &amp;quot;I am ready for the ice now,&amp;quot; Oprah said, before letting out a scream. Other celebrities to partake in the challenge included Taylor Swift and pal Jaime King.\r\n\r\n\r\nChris Pratt guzzled a Smirnoff Ice while getting doused from above. Martha Stewart, Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber, and Selena Gomez also took part in the campaign, along with a bikini-clad Iggy Azalea, Kylie Jenner, Chris Brown, and Drake.\r\n\r\n\r\nTech bigwigs Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates also partook in the challenge. &amp;quot;I want to accept this challenge, but I want to do it better than it&amp;apos;s been done,&amp;quot; Gates joked, before creating an elaborate design.\r\n\r\nNBA champ LeBron James let out a rather loud scream for a man of his height (6&amp;apos;8&amp;apos;&amp;apos;) and weight (250 lbs). Master spoofer Weird Al Yankovic remained silent as ice water was poured over his head. Lena Dunham, meanwhile, let out a rather painful scream after the ice cold liquid hit her bathing suit-clad body.\r\n\r\nTyler Perry, Robert Downey Jr., Conan O&amp;apos;Brien, Keith Urban, and Matt Lauer also joined the cause. Elizabeth Banks stood in her shower and poured ice water over her head.
