HEY YOU CHARITABLE CELEBS! GIVE ME A F#*Kin' BREAK, WILL YA? E.L.Woody, King of the Paparazzi, reports on the night of celebrity hubris, when stars should have been kind, to honor their commitment to helping the devastated people of earthquake ravaged, Haiti. After over-indulging in self congratulatory public charity, on every channel on TV, and the net, in the world, and saving the entire population of that destroyed island nation, they just ignored us cold, wet, working smucks, standing in the rain, awaiting any kind word from a star! Before Henry got his FANTASTIC video, of Katy Perry and Russell Brand, on the Sunset Strip, I was out in the lightly falling rain, outside of CBS Studios, in a futile attempt to continue the good will generated by the mega-stars attending and performing on the highly touted, George Clooney hosted, HAITIAN RELIEF CONCERT. The Storm of the Century has poured inches of badly needed rainfall onto the parched, fired, thirsty, Southern California soil, in this past week. It is cold and wet standing on the street. As the stars entered the event in the pouring rain, I was at home, a few blocks away, watching the overproduced, over rehearsed, uninspiring music, which appeared, to me, to be a less than spontaneous outpouring of celebrity hubris. I arrived at the CBS gate, as the stars departed, through the fog and drizzle, zipping past the five remaining paparazzi, and on down the street. Most of the celebs didn't even wave. Only Chevy Chase rolled his window down. Ellen DeGeneris was trapped at the light and waved as she chatted on her cell phone. I caught glimpses of Russell Brand, Jared Leto, Halle Berry, Jenna Elfman, and a couple of others who looked familiar, no Brad Pitt, unless that was him on the motorcycle, no George Clooney, everyone else just whizzed past, as if not wanting to be recognized. Some covered their faces. What kind of impression does that give to our video watching fans? Seemed like the stars were worn out from being nice on camera, and couldn't, or wouldn't, expend any extra energy to continue to promote their worthy charity. Would it have hurt them to stop for a second, to express to our cameras, a desire for our viewers to contribute to their deserving cause? I guess they got all the coverage they needed, inside, because they sure shined us on. I remember when each of them started their vaunted careers. They weren't so high and mighty, then. They were struggling actors, trying to survive in Hollywood. Now, they are snooty and aloof. Thankless, supercilious stars in Hollywood, can you believe it? Watch this video to get an idea of what it is like to be an old, wet, cold, paparazzo, trying to get a video, in order to survive, in this sopping sea of snooty, celebrity superciliousness. Give me a F#*kin' break, will ya? And donate a few bucks to the deserving folks in Haiti, they could use a break, too.
