Whether Sasha is considered a celebrity or not, I am proud of her. Just like I was very proud of Sarah for coming back after the Olympics to compete even though she wasn't in the greatest shape.
And sometimes, bronx, it DOES need to be announced otherwise people wouldn't pay that much attention to a charity. You may not agree which is fine, but there are quite a few that I'd never heard of until I saw celebrities "touting" them on television or in newspaper/magazine articles. To me, that's how the message gets out and that's a signal to quite a few people that there's a need.
How in the world do people think I heard about the Children's Miracle Network or the Make A Wish foundation? It sure wasn't because I just thought them up in my head one day. (sorry, I know that's sarcastic, but this really gets my goat) If announcing a charitable act is "just" a PR ploy, I hope they all keep doing it.
