Oprah being the great Philanthropist is well, great. It is interesting that during the Rodney King riots that she was safe above Compton in her helicopter giving her two cents on the issue. While churches Black, White, Mexican and many other races) were on the ground risking their lives helping the victims of the aftermath. But Oprahs word is gospel and she received national praise while the people on the ground received the reward of goodwill.

Oprah makes me want to hide underneath the bed. She’s like the scary lady from church who wants to tell you how to be good little boys and girls.

Even a positive post brings out the knives. “Brangelina only gave 8 million, those cheapskates. Plus, they want to tell people about their charitable work.” I think it is amazing that some celebs do use their fame to make the world a better place. They deserve praise because there are a lot of people who made more money than Brangelina and they are nowhere on this list. Let’s give credit where credit is due. Yay, Oprah.

I can’t see how anyone on her can complain about how other people spend their money lol It sounds like a pack of dirt poor people complaining because someone else has a job making big money and the dirt poor just “aint getting enough of it”. When you go build a 100 houses and give 8 million to charity then I think you may have something to complain about lol

I remember reading a few years back that Mel Gibson donated a ton of money to some hospital to help with surgeries to help separate conjoined twins. He also built a Catholic church for others to worship in out of his own money. Whoever or whatever you do to help others–it matters. From Danny Thomas with the St. Jude Hospital for children with cancer to our latest stars of today THANKS. We all have to be “do” bees to our fellow man. ~e~

Let’s bear in mind that, for all these stacks ‘o cash that celebrities get, they lose about 1/2 to taxes. Brad and Angelina only had 1 mil from those pictures to donate. So let’s not get too critical about what percentage of income they keep to blow on their own upkeep and entertainment.
Although it is ironic that people seem entitled to judge how people spend their wealth as soon as their payrate hits a certain amount. How very…democratic party of them.

“Some stars set a bad example from time to time, so it’s nice to celebrate those who are doing good work…”

And then there’s Mel Gibson, who somehow manages to do both ;- )

So they made 4 million from Shiloh and 2 million from Pax does that mean that they gave 2 million of their own money? That amount would put them way down on the list. I don’t think that money made off selling children should be included in how much a person gave. The other peole gave out of their income. Selling baby pictures is that really income?

Why is it so important for some people to compare who gave the most specially when they see the name jolie-pitt? at least they are giving and doing something to help others who are in needs. Don’t blame the Jolie-Pitts if every little thing they do is magnified a hundred times than other celebrities who do the same thing it’s because they are FAMOUS AND A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED TO KNOW like me .. the others never mind and FYI if ordinary folk like YOU (those who accused of JPs of doing charity for publicity)gave to charity and not being written well wonder no more YOU ARE NOT A CELEBRITY and nobody is interested to read about YOU!!
