Although some celebrities use social networks to post ridiculous information e.g., Ashton Kutcher), there are also tons of people, both famous and not, who tweet about lots of interesting things. Celebrities and famous people in general are always in the spotlight, in the public eye. So I think famous poeple should use Facebook, Twitter and the other social networks to attract interest in to get people donate money for good and noble causes.
That's why, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Usher and 50 Cent are facing industry calls to give back the money they earned performing at lavish parties thrown by family members of Libyan dictator Muammar el-Qaddafi. Carey accepted $1 million to perform for Qaddafi’s son, Muatassim, Libya’s national-security adviser, at a lavish New Year’s Eve party on the Caribbean island of St. Barts in 2008; Beyoncé and Usher performed for an undisclosed sum on the island the following year. 50 Cent gave a performance before Muatassim at a 2005 film festival in Venice. Managers for Usher, 50 Cent and Carey declined comment, and Beyoncé’s management, run by her father, Mathew Knowles, did not return phone calls.
Now, if they want to donate that money to a good cause, particularly one aiding the people of Libya, it would be commendable. But keeping the money wouldn’t make them bad people. If it were me, it would go to charity.
