While Lindsay and Paris are in the news, this week, for all the wrong reasons, Katherine Heigl steps up and gives us all a lesson in being a "class act!"
Earlier today, she pledged $1 million to spay and neuter programs in Los Angeles. Each year 500,000 animals without homes are sheltered and euthanized in California, costing the state $250 million. "What's happening is not only inhumane and morally reprehensible, it's economically irresponsible," Heigl said. "Killing is not a solution."
The project is in association with the Jason Debus Heigl Foundation, which was named after her brother who was killed in a car accident 24 years ago.
The skeptical among us might dismiss this as a rich actress using somebody else's money to promote herself and her new movie, "Life As We Know It."
Ya know - I think we (the studio or someone)may have stumbled on something here! 
That's a terrible thing to say! It was the anniversary of her brothers accident for crying out loud. What would you have her do. Shame on you. The money is hers. This is not the first time she has spent big either on this sort of thing. Her foundation named after her brother has been funding pet rescue and adoption programs for a long time now. This is a pretty low thing to say or event suggest.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, it is a terrible thing to say! That's why I prefaced it by saying "The skeptical among us might say...."
ReplyDeleteMy point is that "The job is getting done" and that it may continue to get done if Hollywood Studios would contribute a very small portion of their profits to this or any other deserving charity. Other celebs could also follow Heigl's lead.
While I did not use these words, this is what I meant to suggest.
