Should we expect the local celebrities to step up? Shaq, Britney Spears, Drew Brees, Patrick Peterson, Boosie etc need to throw down a couple bucks if only to give some more national attention here.



How do you know they haven't?

Sure, it is great if she put this out there to encourage others. I'm just wary of those that advertise their good deeds.

I don't give a frick their intentions.. Donating any amount of money is more than the majority and should be encouraged.. Not judged.

Good for her. Sandra Bullock has donated a million to New Orleans in the past.

I respect them both for it. They don't have to do anything. It deserves recognition.

I tend to agree with that sentiment, however -- national coverage of this disaster has been very limited. That can really restrict the amount of donations that typically come from sources outside the affected areas.

A celebrity, especially someone like Swift, has a reach of tens of millions of people. That type of exposure will have a huge positive impact on monetary donations for disaster relief.

This is a perfect example of a celebrity using their status and following for a good cause.

Wow, there's some miserable fricks in this thread. Someone donates a million dollars and people still find a way to shite on them.
