The Ice Bucket challenge has taken the internet by storm, and celebrities have not only been doing them, they have also been donating large amounts of money for the ALS foundation.

The latest on the list of celebrities who took the challenge to the next level are Eminem and Rihanna, who completed the challenge in a show in Detroit, Michigan, onstage.

The pair's tour has stopped in Eminem's hometown over the weekend, and on the second show last Saturday night, he, along with Rihanna, took the opportunity to raise funds for the ALS Association.

At the end of the concert, the Rolling Stone reported that the pair was just walking off-stage when Eminem's hypeman reminded him that he agreed to participate in the Ice Bucket challenge. "I knew this sh*t was coming, but tonight?"

But he had no choice when there are 45,000 people in the audience watching the show. Eminem (who was nominated by Dr Dre) sat in a chair as Rihanna soaked him with a bucketful of icy water. He then nominated her to the challenge.

The pop star was hesitant at first, saying, "Detroit, what you think? Should I do it? I'm from the islands; I don't do this ice sh*t! This ice sh*t doesn't work for me."

In the end, she obliged, with backups dousing her with a bucketful of icy water to the tune of Vanilla Ice's appropriate track, "Ice, Ice Baby."

Eminem and Rihanna are not the only ones who have done the challenge. Other stars who already have included JLo, Ashton Kutcher, 50 Cent (who challenged boxer Floyd Mayweather to an ESL/ALS challenge instead), Charlie Sheen (who doused himself in cash instead of icy water), Miley Cyrus (who opted for rice instead of ice) and James Franco (who always had to do it in a naughty way).

Even Bill Gates and former President George W. Bush did their parts for the awareness campaign.

The now-viral challenge has raised over $42 million, but according to a report by NBC News, this amount, although seemingly large, is not enough to fund research.

Dr. Jonathan Serody of the University of North Carolina said, "If a million people would donate $100 a year for 30 to 40 years, you might get a breakthrough for ALS. These flash-in-the pan things that will go away after a few months will not help ALS in the long run. Researchers need dependable money."

We can always hope for a ripple effect, though.
