[Above My Pay Grade]

This is a story? Isn’t charity work supposed to be voluntary? Are we going to start smearing celebrities every time they turn down an invitation to appear at a benefit or decline a request for a donation, regardless of how generous they may be with their time and money?

I feel bad for the child, but this has the feel of a shakedown.

i agree. publicising that a celebrity wouldn't let herself be forced or guilted into making a appearance for a kid is tacky. sorry kid, not all wishes come true, ESPECIALLY when they involve someone else's time and free will.

to all those demonising this woman- do YOU jump to help with EVERY charity that comes by?

The vast, vast majority of "celebrities" are our ideological enemies. You should take any opportunity you can to tear down your enemies.
