scon1916: to wealthy and famous actors and rock stars about donating our hard-earned money to charity when they only lend their name to it?
I will if they give 90% of what they have in the bank.

I think they ought to just turn over their over the top earnings if they feel so strongly about their various causes they use for self promotion.

totally agree, if the rich and famous donated more of their money
to charity, they could wipe out so much of the problems out there.
But we all know the more money they have the greedier they become,
so it will never happen.

Totally agree. I don't like to listen to them at all.

does it really matter what anyone else is doing? Don't judge others actions life is too short to care what others are doing.

Excellent subject! People often listen to and follow celebrities as if they are experts in subject matter from politics, charities and purchasing consumer goods. People do this without thinking and if they actually thought about things they would invariably come to the conclusion that Michael Jordan, while at one time a great basketball player, Is no expert on the comfort of my Haynes briefs and Oprah Winfrey, while an outstanding television host is no expert on who is better suited to run the USA.
In short, these folks are no smarter or dumber than any other person on the planet. We simply need to understand that celebrity does not equal expertise.

It's always irked me that celebrities do all these ads, get paid for them, talk like they use the product, and then we find out they don't use the product they claim to use. I think they should pass a law that says if a celebrity is doing an ad, they darn well better be using the product they're advertising, or face fraud charges for implying they use the product when they don't (I've heard it's a common practice for them to advertise products they don't use). Same thing with charities. Jerry Lewis did muscular distrophy fundraisers for years, but I suspect he also contributed some of this own money to the cause. Will Brimley advertises for an outfit that ships diabetes meds, but Will actually does have diabetes so it's okay.
Here's another tip. You've heard about the "4 out of 5 doctors recommend____." What they do is they keep bring in groups of 5 doctors until they come up with a group of doctors where 4 out of 5 doctors recommend the product, then they use that statistic in their ad. Pretty deceptive, huh?
