He's stepping up to the plate. I wonder if anyone else saw the blubbering Celine Dion on Larry King last night. She only gave 1M. She could do better.

I saw on tv where one of the Wiliams sisters (tennis) was going to donate $100 for every ace she hit. There will also an auction of a pair of diamond earrings she wore at an event. Excuse me, but she has earned a lot more than that and could give more IMHO! Shoddy giving at best for a big time celeb.

"That's upping the Anti to the Hollywood elite."

I heard that Nicholas Cage gave $1 million.

I think I could handle all those aces for crying out loud.

It's up to rich people how much they give - it certainly isn't up to us! Some of you Freepers sound like ... I can't bring myself to say it ... Hillary Clinton.

I just think it was peculiar giving and she got some airtime for it. So now folks will be watching to see how many she hits and folks who go to the auction will bid to give to the relief. Hey, sell the earrings, figure out a figure on what you can afford and just give it! Forget the publicity! That's all I am saying.

She's giving $100 for ever ace she hits for the rest of the season. That could add up, plus she's auctioning off a pair of HUGE DIAMOND EARRINGS. Shoddy? How much have you given?
