The Live 8 and Post Katrina phenomenons were wonderful displays of Hollywoodism. Take Brad Pitt, for example. This ageless wonder stands on a stage and tells us why it would be a good idea to donate our money to a cause. Why don't he and his Beverly Hills pals donate their next movie paycheck entirely to a cause, instead? Why doesn't Madonna donate a year's worth of profits to something worthwhile? Why don't professional athletes donate a season to charity? Are they really going to miss their salary from 2006 when it's part of a colossal ten-year contract plus signing bonus? Did the "Friends" do charity shows when they were each pulling in $1 million per episode?
