Clooney to Donate Casino Profits to Charity

Evidently its the season of giving – and this week, Hollywood can't get enough of their philanthropic ways.

If it isn't Tom Cruise offering to donate his personal sonogram machine to a hospital post the tom/kat birth, now george clooney seems to have a 'crisis of conscience' with all the poverty in the world.

Back in August, Clooney announced plans to open a new Vegas casino. He's not decided to donate 25% of the 'The Ramblas' casino takings to charity

"I'm donating it to help make poverty history. It's hard to reconcile the idea that you make a decent living and are building one of the great casinos while there's a bunch of kids starving to death," he says.

Its difficult to be cynical with this – so I won't. Well, maybe just a little bit. But I do wonder what makes casino revenues any different from the multi-million dollar paychecks these actors receive for each movie, their multiple houses all over the world and various other 'personal' possessions thats deemed necessary as a celebrity.
