"Typically, celebrity charity efforts are transparent efforts at public relations and/or making them feel good about themselves. Actually expecting the money to be put to good use is normally WAY down on the celebrity priority list."
I agree. Most just consider the funds a reason for a PR shot.
Jolie terminated the contract with Cambodian Vision in Development and the U.S. conservation group WildAid, which had co-managed the project, in December, said Stephan Bognar, executive director of the Maddox Jolie Project. The new group is named for Jolie's 5-year-old son Maddox, who was adopted from Cambodia
This sounds like she put together the group, but the Cambodian side of it robbed her. And as far as PR, I never heard about this, have you? I'm sure there are many people like Jolie who donate alot of money and we never, ever hear about it.
