Rosie O’Donnell Calls On Other Celebs To "Dig Deep" To Help Haiti
Rosie O’Donnell doesn’t hesitate to speak her mind. If you didn’t know that before her year on ‘The View,’ then you certainly knew afterwards. She isn’t holding back now, urging celebs to make sure they donate their own money as they ask others to donate. ” It’s like, if you’re gonna go on and you’re a millionaire, please give a million dollars . Like, there should be a cover charge to do those, in my opinion,” she said of star’s on telethons. “I think everyone should do what they can and if a celebrity can bring attention to a cause or inspire someone to give… “I think celebrities should step up and America should stop asking for just their presence at a publicized event,” Rosie added. “They should also demand their money.” “Demand” seems like a strong word, but Rosie does have a point. If multi-millionaire celebs participate in a telethon that raises $500,000, that’s fantastic, but if each celeb could actually afford to write a check for $1 million apiece… Rosie did praise Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie . “I know that Brad and Angelina gave a million dollars to [help out in Haiti] as well as all they’ve done in New Orleans,” she added. We know Brad and Angelina haven’t been the only celebs to donate money: Gisele Bundchen donated $1.5 million of her own money, among others. Do you think Rosie has a point or should we just be glad celebs are willing to at least speak out and bring attention to the crisis? Photos by Wenn.com
