Why should celebrities be excepted to give their time to charities?
the benefits of celebrity are not fabled but real -- and can produce very concrete results. Without the campaigning energies of Bono, Bob Geldof and Richard Curtis, for example, I don't believe 46 million more children would be in school today in some of the world's poorest countries.Of course the celebrity touch isn't everything. Every charity -- however big or small -- needs to have a clear and convincing message about what it's trying to achieve. But the support of an impassioned celebrity for that cause can help reach new audiences with that message.
