Instead of "adopting" some poor minority 3rd world kid(one). Help feed ,educate, and provide health care for kids in thier own home village and country. Madonna, Paris Hilton and her ilk could do so much good if they chose to.

Madonna collects babies. Soon she'll have one from each continent.
Paris just collects little rat-dogs.

They're too caught up in their careers and fame to adopt more than a couple kids (except for Mia Farrow, crazy as some think she is!). Why don't rich people give away one of their many MANSIONS to house homeless kids?! I'm talking to YOU, Oprah and all you preachy types...Dr. PHIL! Put your money where your mouth is.
I'd say the same to people like RoveCheneyBush, but they're in a league of evil all by themselves. Help kids??? HA! They work 24-7 to take homes and food AWAY from kids and their already poor parents!

People in Hollywood as well as some has-been celebrities, start to actually believe the hype and fantasy that they work in and with during their career. They believe that somehow as a celebrity they are also endowed with more intelligence that any other group of people.
For example Angelina Jolie thinks she is going to single handedly revamp goverments worldwide in how to care for their children. She gets publicity because she is a whore who stole Brad Pitt amongst other men in her past not because she is a standout on her own. Like you say, she could use her wealth to QUIETLY do good for kids right her in the US, but if there's one thing celebrities love it's seeing their name in the media. And going to another country and interferring is going to get you more coverage than doing a good work quietly in the US.

Yes, it would be better if they did but then again it's a choice they have. We shouldn't force them to. Its their money they earned (too easily if you ask me). This isn't communism where we take the riches from the people and spread it so everyone is equally poor.
If I were rich (EG: Paris, Madonna level) I'd give to charities all the time. I mean I'd be dead before I could spend all my money, but I wouldn't want to be forec to do it, or obligated.

Celebrity is shameful. It's the desire for, and the accepting of, a type of worship.
There are some few "celebrities" who DO actually serve mankind, but it must be done in private. Those few are well known to the powers that be, and must not be made public. Anyone who knows about philanthropy knows the names and therein lies the only genuine celebrity.

I agree. There are plenty of children in the USA waiting to be adopted. Why go off to a foreign land? They can afford to adopt American children.
Maybe American adoption agencies won't give up children to celebrities because of their corrupt lifestyle of drugs, alcohol and partying til dawn.

Because they are greedy/hypocrites
like when bill gates appeared on stage at live aid begging for our money when he could solve the whole 3rd world problem with his current account interest

it's because they are greedy and only think of themselves and how good they can make themselves look.
Some celebs do support charities and do so discretely, which is how it should be done.

This may sound harsh, but ultimately you really can't help most of those people, anyway. They don't have a clue for the most part and they haven't even invented the wheel yet.
