"I know a lot of these people, they talk to their managers and say 'is it worthwhile; is it a good career move for me?'"
Sad, sick etc, but we knew this all along, just look at the charity and aid business. Dig deep, follow the money and careers.
#1 - Fri Feb 5, 2010 3:13 AM EST???Benjamin Zephaniah sounds jealous !!
both Simon Cowell and George Clooney have excellent top money making careers ! Clooney is the A list of Hollywood. it doesn't get higher than that !
fyi this isn't the only charities either works for ! Since when did Mr. Zephaniah become a mind reader to what their reasons are ? Does he not make a paycheck ??
sounds like Zephaniah , whom I've never heard of , is singing sour grapes !! lol. he needs to get a life and stop being small minded and petty.
just looked up who Benjamin Zephaniah is ... yep ! sour grapes and jealous. very jealous. what a loser.
#3 - Fri Feb 5, 2010 3:33 PM ESTI think Ben is just upset they didn't invite him . his career is lagging. Cowell or Clooney ? Well Clooney couldn't get higher so chairty work isn't going to bump him up.
like I said... Benjamin a small fish wanting to be a bigger fish so is biting the heels of the big fish.. Keep swimming dude. your chopping your own tree down. Maybe instead of whine like a little bytch you could have supported vocally and thereby boosting your sagging career.
