Celebrities lend hand to Katrina disaster

15:57 Tuesday September 6th 2005
John Travolta and his actress wife Kelly Preston have been delivering food and medical supplies to refugees from New Orleans.
The couple brought five tonnes of food and 400 doses of tetanus injections to the Hurricane-hit region.

Other celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey and Sean Penn have also been meeting some of the people affected by the disaster.

Winfrey said she will film her chat show from the Astrodome in Houston, where thousands are sheltering to ensure that their stories are heard.


:cool: Fair play....

AB Budweiser have also donated 2.5M cans of water to the region. See here. (http://www.anheuser-busch.com/news/AB_1mill_redcross090205.htm)

Ordinarily there's an easy joke there, but fair play to them.

fair play to most but oprah is sensationalising as usual and to get a story for herself etc, i wonder did she carry any supplies etc to refugees. She really ****es me off, because as some might know she is a bit of a "Lady" herself.

Picture of Sean Penn in his rented boat in todays paper. Apparently he hired boat & crew & paddling about trying to rescue people.
