Celebrity

There seems to be a proliferation of what New York Times is calling ‘Misery Chic’ where celbs like Brad and Angelina lend their name and influence to a cause. I am not sure that the critics have a valid argument. If the actions of celbs move towards a soultion - bravo! It is a different kettle of fish when they use their celbrity to coerce fans into follwing them to a cause (without doing their own investigation).

Kevin Bacon has launched a competition website Sixdegrees.org where you can earn ‘badges’ by donating to the same causes as Robert Duvall, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Ashley Judd, Nicolle Kidman …

Take a look and let me know what you think.
