“Alms! Alms! Alms for the rich and famous!”
[Thanks to Susan for the nooze tip.]
Maybe you don’t fall for “millionaire in need” stories. Or maybe you do. If you do, busy movie star Alyssa Milano has her hand out for your money (https://pagesix.com/2024/01/26/parents/alyssa-milano-blasted-over-fundraiser-for-sons-baseball-trip/).
She and her husband (also a millionaire in his own right) put up a Go Fund Me page to raise $10,000 for their son’s baseball team to play in a tournament at Cooperstown, New York. For them, ten grand is chump change.
The schnorrer act has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. Like, why don’t these two millionaires pay their own way?
Alyssa Milano, now 51, was the kidnapped daughter in Commando, an Arnold Schwarzenegger action flick from the 1970s. She’s been a very busy actress for years, but I can’t say I’ve seen any of those movies or TV shows. Most of them I haven’t even heard of.
Anyway, she’s earned boxcar-loads of money but would much rather spend your money on her child’s recreation. I tell you, she’s wasted in civilian life. Why isn’t this woman in Congress? Then she could spend other people’s money whether they liked it or not.
