Peace in the Middle East
George Clooney has Darfur. Bono has Third World debt. Leonardi DiCaprio has the environment. Sharon Stone has AIDS. Oprah Winfrey and Angelina Jolie have the world. It seems every celebrity has a cause. The newest trend is lending your name to a disease or issue. I don't want to debate the reasoning behind this because it's a win-win situation for everyone. Millions of dollars get funneled into charities and celebrities get to look like they care about humanity and not the opening weekend box office.
With that said, it makes me wonder what would be my celebrity cause. Of course, I'd work with empowering women and young adults but there are other serious causes out there as well that need attention. Here are a couple of ideas:
The Diva Institute of Spandex
This innovative organization leads the crusade against spandex, pleather and other synthetic fibers. Woman and select men are literally taken off the street and put in Tacky Rehab where they learn the benefits of natural fibers and full length mirrors. Graduation occurs once they can select an appropriate outfit for a formal dinner party. Lycra mini skirts are an automatic trip back to detox.
Diva's Soul Food Kitchen
This hot spot serves up delicious comfort food for malnourished starlets. Diners are immediately given a plate of hot cornbread with real butter followed by baked macaroni and cheese and fried chicken or catfish. Meals and compliments are free. There plenty of carbs and no judgement for eating refined sugar or starch.
What would be your cause?

There's a real probelm that needs addressing in today's society and my charity would strive to nip this horror in the bud before it attacks the next generation.
It's called running-off-at-the-mouth syndrome and some of it's victims are rather well known,such as Mel Gibson,Michael Richards and just recently Rosie O'Donnell with an acute case of schoolyard Asian language mockery.
We at the Silence is Golden foundation are raising funds to purchase and provide worthy candidates with rolls of duct tape to slap over their lips to prevent further outbreaks of poor verbal judgement. Won't you help us?
Amen, sister!!! Too funny.
