hitting it right on the screws.

From IMDB.com:

Russell Crowe has launched a scathing attack on A-list charity campaigners including Bono and Sir Bob Geldof - because he believes they only want publicity. The Antipodean actor regularly donates to charity outside of the glare of the media spotlight and urges other stars to give quietly without publicly martyring themselves.

He says, "I do my bit to improve the world but I think it's very important to get things done on the quiet. I'm sick to death of famous people standing up and using their celebrity to promote a cause. If I see a particular need, I do try to help. But there's a lot that can be achieved by putting a cheque in the right place and shutting up about it."


I sympathize with the views of many celebs in terms of political and social issues, but at the end of the day, I'm going to have to gree with Russell Crowe on this one.

I better, because I don't want him to chuck a telephone at me.
