Why Is Hollywood Sitting Out Gulf Oil Spill Relief?

AOL News (May 25) -- In January, when a magnitude-7.0 earthquake killed an estimated 230,000 Haitians and left more than a million others homeless, Hollywood shed a collective, well-choreographed tear, then banded together like a Christopher Guest cast to help put the country back together. The tabloids kept track of the most generous celebrities, noting that Brangelina and Sandra Bullock each donated $1 million, while others, like Sean Penn, decamped to Haiti to work directly on refugee efforts. In perhaps the most visible celebrity relief effort, George Clooney hosted a star-studded telethon that featured performances by Beyonce, Justin Timberlake and, obviously, Bono.

Yet as hundreds of thousands of gallons of oil continue to leak into and spread out across the Gulf of Mexico each day, Hollywood has seemed largely unmoved by the BP oil spill, which is creating its own long list of need: Eleven workers died in the accident that led to the leak, and scientists have so far tallied an animal fatality count of 23 birds, 156 sea turtles and 12 dolphins, numbers that are expected to rise (countless more will simply sink to the ocean floor, undiscovered). Thousands of fishermen are abruptly out of work, and it may take decades for the gulf ecosystem to recover. All in all, most experts say the damage here will eclipse that of 1989's catastrophic Exxon Valdez spill, which dumped 11 million gallons into Alaska's Prince William Sound and cost the company nearly $4 billion.

There is a difference between a natural disaster and a man made disaster. It's hard to care passionately over a man made disaster when all you really want to do it scream at those who did it.

The only thing you can do in a natural disaster is rush to help those effected.

Again, every 15 - 20 years we have a major man made catastrophe, and nothing changes...

So nothing will change after this, and in 15-20 years we will have the poisoning of the great lakes, and then nothing will change, and life goes on.

If this oil spill had happened when Bush was in those phony Movie Stars would have been all over it, they would have been having "live sex" on MSNBC

Research, Harry, research, research.

NEW ORLEANS — Lenny Kravitz, Ani DiFranco and Mos Def are among the headliners for a benefit concert for those affected by a massive oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

Kravitz, left, who lives part time in New Orleans, was the first to sign up for the Rehage Entertainment event.

Gulf Aid will take place on Sunday overlooking the Mississippi River in New Orleans. Tickets cost $50. Proceeds will benefit fishermen and their families, whose livelihoods depend on the Gulf, and other organizations. The Associated Press

Big stars lend names to help big spill - The Denver Post

Robert Redford released a cable TV ad with the Natural Resources Defense Council, an environmental group, calling for "safe, clean and renewable energy." Here's the actor's post on Onearth.org.

Actor Stephen Baldwin is in Cannes to talk about a documentary he's begun shooting, The Will to Drill, about the impact of the Gulf oil spill, ABC News reports. He was "overwhelmed" by the spill's volume, a Baldwin spokesman says, according to Hollywood.com.

Waterworld actor Kevin Costner is donating his "Ocean Therapy" centrifuge, which he said can separate oil from water, according to ABC News.

So, Harry, tell me again, I've forgotten.

When is Sarah Palin making that appearance in Louisiana? You know the one - the one where she comes to share her expertise on drill baby drill and donates her $100,000.00 speaker's fee to the clean up efforts.

Harry Boy

She's busy, she figures "Dreamboat Obama" will take care of everything, thats probably why Looney Clooney isn't down there either.

Sarah's building a fence around her house some guy is writing a book about her and he moved in right next door to her so he can look into the Palins bedrooms........

Sarah:
You've Come A Long Way Baby
