    Famous people raising money to help each other just isn't that heartwarming to me.

    There's a reason why Gawker is Twitter obsessed. I'm not sure what it is but there is one.

    Can we just stop with all the Twitter stories?

    Ashton did the same thing too, didn't he challenge CNN to see who could get the most followers in a certain amount of time? Win or lose, one of them had to donate to Charity. Tweet On.

    (Has the scourge of TBA been conquered yet?)

    @czecher: in fact, it is much LESS than heartwarming. They have the opportunity to help people who really need it and whose families' can't afford to help yet they help the brother of someone famous, wealthy and well-connected and then pawn it off as "charity". it's close, but not really.
