Sean Penn vs. George Clooney: The Battle of Celebrity Philanthropy | Death and Taxes

Sean Penn vs. George Clooney: The Battle of Celebrity Philanthropy | Death and Taxes: "Philanthropy is one of the most popular hobbies for rich Hollywood celebrities. It’s a nice way to save face, write a check, get some tax relief and get their pictures in tabloids and newspapers as “one of the good guys.” Plenty of celebrities give money to charities and good causes, but most never prove that they actually care.

However, Sean Penn and George Clooney—two of the greatest actors of our generation—care deeply. Over the past couple days Death And Taxes has documented Penn’s selfless commitment to the devastated people of Haiti and Clooney’s peace keeping efforts during an election weekend in genocide stricken Sudan."
