These people aren't "STARS", they are going for the bucks just like everyone else. Now is a good tiime to get a photo op and publicity stunt on the back of the common man. Thes "Stars" are one of th ehtings tha tgot us here, by preaching no morals and loose lives and everything for free. Give me a break!

Does anyone know what organization the money raised will go to that helps these men find and keep jobs. I know a father of 3 who needs a job and one that will not just give them work for 1 day a week to keep them from unemployment benifits.
Thanks if you do.

This is great, auction a worn tie for a charity. I bet Steve Carell will give a few bucks to BikeFree.org They are apolitical and will be delivering bikes to the children of our fallen and wounded troops this Christmas.

Do all people think that celebrities are in it for themselves? Do you believe Robin Williams, Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Crystal...do the Comedy Charity shows then pocket the money? Your sarcastic words should cheer for them. Zac Efron, Steve Carell and Zach Galifianakis are not the only celebrities who do these. Many people go into stores “just” to purchase a star’s clothing. Do you think these men sell to those on the street? They sell to people with money. If you read this article, it states, "Career Gear is a non-profit that helps disadvantaged men find and keep jobs." KEEPING THEIR JOBS is the goal! Have you helped lately?
