Newsmeat Hall of Fame
Oh,  the dirty little secrets of the famous. Sex scandals, drug addictions, and eating disorders regularly fill the gossip pages, but what about less salacious secrets? Like, who's giving what to whom in political campaigns? A while back we featured Fundrace 2004, where you can find data on any contributor. This site is similar, but it spotlights celebs. It's not surprising that Richard Gere donates to Democrats candidates or Charlton Heston backs Republicans, but do you know who Martha Stewart or Hugh Hefner suupports? The site even sorts the celebrities -- the casts of Cheers, ER, Seinfeld, and Charlie's Angels are all here. Musicians play a political contribution tune, too. We venture that Loretta Lynn won't be inviting Paul Simon to an election night hootenanny. And when was the last time Sammy Hagar, Pat Boone, and Amy Grant were mentioned in the same sentence? It's not exactly a secret here. (in U.S. Elections > Campaign Finance) |
