Angel Celebrity

"I think celebrity is ridiculous but it is currency and I want to use mine wisely"...Bono

There are a lot of perks that come with being a celebrity, such as fame, money, and power. However, there are some celebrities who have achieved career success who know that they must use their celebrity for the good of others. They understand that they have a platform where the media will listen to them promote a film, album, or more importantly, a humanitarian cause.
