I love Drew Barrymore. I always have. She is a survivor who took a career as a washed up teen star and become a successful producer.

I commend her for giving $1 million to charity.

BUT. Let’s be honest $1 million isn’t that much to her. That’s only a fraction of what she made off of one “Charlie’s Angels” movie.

What I would like is see a celebrity donate a lot of money (for them not for the average person). The only time I can think of a celebrity doing this was when Steven Spielberg took all the money he would have made from “Schindler’s List” and donating it to holocaust causes.

Good job Drew but you could do better.

Also I am so sick of celebrities being commended for doing charity work in Africa. Is it needed there? Yes. But you know what there are people living in these people’s backyard who need help too.

I am a teacher in Los Angeles. These celebrities live in the Hollywood Hills yet less than 10 miles away there are children who have to sleep on the floors of their homes so they aren’t hit by stray bullets from drive my shootings. They can’t walk to see and feel safe because they my get jumped. This is happening in the city these celebrities live in but they choose to spend go to Africa.

They have the time and money to help people here and people there. But it’s not trendy to do work in America. It would probably be just too shocking in Americans really had to see what is going on in their own country. So our celebrities go to Africa and continue ignore what is going on right under their nose.

Angelina, Brad, Drew, Madonna, George why don’t you help out at home too?
