The tangled web of celebrity GoFundMes

Hiya! Coming up on today’s show: after the tragic deaths of actors Eric Dane and James Van Der Beek, GoFundMe pages were established to ‘support the families,’ and the donations started rolling in. It begs the question: is it okay for celebrities – or families of celebrities – to ask for charity? Is this a case of asking the poor to donate to the rich? And…have we entered an era where being famous no longer equals being rich?
