Monday Memory - Being Charitable
Being charitable. We all know what that means right? It means being generous in donations or gifts, or even time, to help those less fortunate than yourself. I know what it means to be charitable, as I am sure, do you.
Celebrities are often very charitable, and seldom hesitate to help out at charitable functions and events. Did Whitney Houston not get the memo?
Pop singer Whitney Houston is charging nearly $1.4 million dollars to perform for one hour at an upcoming charity event in London. In case you’re slow with math, that works out to be about 56,000 dollars-a-minute…almost 10,000 dollars a second.
Whoa. Hold the phone. The billionaire philanthropist that is paying her “fee” should have just donated the money to the charity and told Ms. Houston to take a flying leap. $1.4 million to appear at a charitable event? Oh yeah, and don’t forget all the rooms, food, and other crap she might need to make herself presentable for her “appearance”.
Come on Whitney, you grew up better than that. I guess when you’re planning your spectacular comeback you may have a tendancy to forget about the little people. So put down the MP3 players, stop listening to the sound of your own voice and realize that there are some things in this world that transcend even you.
