how about celeb-aid instead?

i am sick of being begged for my money by rich celebs.

robbie william said on an ad recently that if we all gave �5 to this charity they'd have �2million (don't know how he got that figure!) but i say to him - lets not take �5 from people who are living hand to mouth and lets ask the celebs to give the cash instead - he famously boasted that he was rich beyond his wildest dreams with �80 million so �2million will be nothing to him.

i know celebs claim they donate, and i am sure many do, but generally if they do they want it publicised to show everyone how wonderful they are, and i can't recall the last time i heard about it.

you have children emptying their piggy banks and people with little giving their last �2 and yet these people are sitting on millions.

i don't begrudge them their cash, just that they beg me for mine.

so for celeb aid, lets get stadium filled with celebs and treat them to karaoke, pub quiz and magic tricks and get them to "give us yrrr money"

I actually have as my home page my own personal favourite charity, so am raising a little every time I click on it, joko. I also work for a charity and funnily enough it's those that cannot afford it that are generally the most generous with their giving, both of time and and money. I say generally because, of course, there are exceptions.

At the end of the day we should be grateful to anybody who gives anything to charity - rich, poor, famous or otherwise. As long as the charities benefit then that's what counts.
