It irritates me when the wealthiest among us ask the rest of us to give money for those in need.  They should lead by example and put their money where their mouth is.  Mandy Moore wants us to help out her brother-in-law.  Surely she could come up with the $ she is trying to raise for them from our bank accounts.  Plenty of others need help and don't have family members with deep pockets.  That's who we personally choose to help.
