Do Somethin'

Celebrities are pouring out of the woodwork with offers of monetary support for hurricane relief. I applaud these efforts because if you have as much money as some of these people do, you should be sharing it with those who are less fortunate. Especially at a time like this, when so many people are in dire need. Louisiana natives, Ellen DeGeneres, Tim McGraw, and Harry Connick Jr., are all involved in some fundraising effort or another. One Louisiana native who is blatantly missing from the donation scene is Britney Spears. The girl is worth an estimated $125 million and grew up in one of the states most affected by the hurricane. You would think she could cough up a bit a cash. While a promise of money is still absent, you will be glad to know, however, that she has said that she is praying for all those affected. Now I know she has a baby on the way soon, but even so I think she could afford a small donation. I mean, Hillary Duff donated $250,000 and she’s not even from one the states that was badly affected by the hurricane. Earlier this year, Hilary even donated sales from her sold out Most Wanted Tour to the Tsunami victims in South Asia. Somehow I doubt Britney donated then either. Come on Brit, you have more money that Hillary Duff, don’t you? Shell out a few bucks.
