to sing “Love On Top” for UNICEF, which has “helped save more children’s lives than any other humanitarian organization,” according to itself. The cause for their reunion was certainly noble, and urgently necessary: raising money to support people affected by coronavirus AND to send aid children in Lebanon after the devastating Beirut explosion. The money they ended up collecting from viewers and patrons, however, tells an entirely different story about the efficacy of celebrity activism.
016 cents per viewer.The low number raised makes me think: do people actually donate to charities because a celebrity asks them to? Perhaps at one point they did. A case could also be made that, due to a horrifying amalgamation of xenophobia and racism, American viewers don’t feel moved by what has transpired in Beirut. But I also get the sense that the worth of a celebrity, in any given charitable drive, is vastly overblown.

So, we're getting mad at folks trying to raise money for UNICEF now? Odd take. What did UNICEF do to you?
Cynical angle on the charity aspect aside (people are BROKE rn?), please shit more on a film starring 90 percent women celebrating female friendship, such a fun take from a 'feminist' website
I was aca-betrayed by ElizabethBanks when this franchise came out.
It works if they like the celebrities but really all of them should have donated too
I wonder why they didn’t get all the women
