Concrete Offer: Sinead O’Connor called a London TV talk show Monday and donated a home she owns in Los Angeles to the Red Cross. The Irish singer made the offer after hearing English television actor Peter Egan plea for donations to a February auction aiding the Red Cross’ Somalia relief fund, a spokeswoman for O’Connor said. O’Connor, in recent months the center of a storm set off after she tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II during an October appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” reportedly bought the Los Feliz-area house for $800,000 two years ago. She relocated to London last year.
