You guys have to keep me updated. I am at work so I can't watch. I want them to have separate totals for the amounts those celebrities have donated. So far I have only heard that Jim Carey (Candian) has donated $1 million and rapper Dr. Dre has also donated a million. Has anyone else donated anything noteworthy?

I don't trust celebrities. Where are the donations going? An d when? After they all get paid to show up? "Generously volunteering their time" may be so much you-know-what. They -- and their agents-- have contracts that run to hundreds of pages, I believe, and may specify amounts they charge for showing up for "free" charity events.
Remember that fellow who paid for a fund-raising event for the DNC? He paid for the hall, decorations, tv cameras, celebrities, the whole ball of wax, then as I recall, he wrote the costs off as a donation or an expense. Something like that.
None of these schmuckfaces makes a move without getting paid.

Now it's George Clooney, face shaved, hair dyed dark, talking about some of the firemen who are heroes and giving the phone number to donate.
Working the phone banks, Antonio Banderas, Whoopie, Selma Hyack, Jack Nicholson, Happy Gilmore ( I can't think of his name right now), Halle Berry. I mean BIG STARS.
U2 from london. It's in black and white for him. This is all done in closed studios. No audience.

Yes Sandra Bullock has donated a million; Rosie O donated a million with a stipulation that is for NY victims only (not Pentagon vics) and some other star donated a mere $25,000 but I forgot who it was, a female though.
