Kevin Spacey: Celebrities React to Molestation Accusation
On Sunday night, the world was stunned by accuations that screen icon Kevin Spacey had made sexual advances toward actor Anthony Rapp, who was just 14 at the time of the alleged incident.
Spacey issued a public apology in which he also came out as gay, a move that has only exacerbated the scandal.
Many feel the Oscar winner callously attempted to manipulate the conversation and re-focus the media"s attention on his sexual orientation.
Here are some of the most incendiary celebrity reactions to both the allegations against Spacey and the actor"s unexpected response:
1. Spacey Responds
Spacey issued a public response to Rapp’s accusation almost immediately. Unfortunately for the House of Cards star, many felt there was a deeply cynical motive behind his statement.
2. Spacey Misses the Point
“This story has encouraged me to address other things about my life,” Spacey wrote in a statement posted to social media. “As those closest to me know, in my life I have had romantic relationships with both men and women. I have loved and had romantic encounters with men throughout my life, and I choose now to live as a gay man.”
3. Anthony Rapp
The most important response, of course, came from Rapp. But the actor certainly wasn’t the only one who had thoughts to express about Spacey.
4. Rose McGowan
“Keep focus on #AnthonyRapp BE THE VICTIM’S VOICE,” wrote Rose McGowan. “Help us level the playing field.”
5. Billy Eichner
Comedian Billy Eichner says Spacey is a real innovator … just not in a good way.
6. Larry Wilmore
Larry Wilmore kept it simple, condemning Spacey’s statement as simply “wrong.”

Las Vegas Shooting: Celebrities React to Terrorist Attack
Early this morning, news broke of a horrifying mass shooting in Las Vegas, one that is now the largest mass shooting in modern American history.
Current estimates list more than 50 dead victims and more than 400 people injured by the gunman, who opened fire from his hotel room and unleashed terror and death upon the innocents below.
We still know only a limited amount of information about 64-year-old Stephen Paddock, the shooter who has been identified as having committed this terrorist act before reportedly taking his own life.
But you don"t need to know why people were massacred to reach out and share prayers and condolences.
Some people, celebrities included, went to bed before the news broke. Some of them still haven"t awoken to learn what has happened.
We"ve seen people tweeting about this as soon as they awoke this morning.
Some tweeted last night, when this was still an active shooter situation. Social media spreads information very, very quickly.
A lot of celebrities have spoken out, even so early in the morning. Including Jason Aldean, whose show has been playing so very close to where the shooting took place.
1. Barack Obama
President Obama may no longer be in office, but he uses his voice and his platform to lend sympathy for those who deserve it.
2. Jason Aldean
The shooting almost immediately followed Jason Aldean’s music.
3. Chloe Grace Moretz
Chloe Grace Moretz may be young, but she’s active in politics and also full of compassion, as you can see.
4. Kourtney Kardashian
Even the Kardashians have feelings. This terrible act affects us all.
5. Paris Jackson
We don’t need to tell you that Michael Jackson’s daughter is famously spiritual or that she cares about people.
6. Celine Dion
You don’t have to be American for this to cut you to your core

Hurricane Harvey Relief: Which Celebrities Donated?
Hurricane Harvey was a Category 4 storm when it first made landfall in Texas.
We have all seen the photos of the flooding. We"ve seen highways that have flooded so high that the water above them has waves.
We"ve seen people standing on rooftops, people riding boats between houses, and heard the horrifying stories of people who were swept away by the water.
Celebrities have heard this, too, and they have been using their considerable platforms and their own personal resources to help with the relief effort.
As climate change continues to destabilize what were once more temperate weather patterns, these "500 year storms" will be coming more and more frequently.
Many believe that we need a better coordinate governmental response when these disasters strike. It"s good to hear stories of private citizens acting as heroes, but it"s better if they never have to.
In the mean time, however, boat owners have been taking time off of work and traveling with their boats towards Texas where they hope to help distribute supplies and reach people who are still stranded.
Celebrities are donating money to the relief effort, but some stars are doing even more.
1. JJ Watt
JJ Watt’s relief fundraiser had an initial goal in the six digits. It has currently raised over $ 10 million and the amount continues to clim as donations pour in.
2. Jennifer Lopez and Alexander Rodriguez
J Lo and A-Rod have each donated $ 25,000. They have also used their celebrity status to encourage their followers to donate to the Red Cross.
3. DJ Khaled
In addition to sending his prayers to the people of Houston, DJ Khaled has also donated $ 25,000 to aid those ravaged by Harvey.
4. Nicki Minaj
Nicki Minaj announced that she was donating $ 25,000 when she shared Kevin Hart’s message.
5. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson
Dwayne Johnson donated $ 50,000 and shared Kevin Hart’s plea.
6. Kevin Hart
Kevin Hart is said to be the first major celebrity to donate, putting up $ 50,000. He’s also encouraged other celebrities to do the same.

Kevin Hart Challenges Celebrities to Donate to Texas
By now, most of you will have heard about the downright awful Hurricane Harvey, which has ravaged the city of Houston and left the place flooded.
Millions of people are currently without shelter or safety as a result of the violent hurricane. Naturally, the celebrity world has not stayed silent about it.
Kevin Hart has been leading the charge to get celebrities to part with some cash in order to set up relief efforts for the people affected by one of the biggest natural disasters in recent memory.
Over the weekend he called out the likes of Beyonce, Jay Z, and Chris Rock to donate money to the people of Houston. And yesterday, he made it clear that his efforts were not over.
“Today, I’m calling out more [friends],” Hart said. “Instead of donating $ 25,000, I did $ 50,000.”
“I call out T.I., I call out Nelly, my boy Usher, Ludacris, the rest of the Houston Rockets,” he continued.
“I call out my man Chris Brown, I call out Drake.”
Hart added he is begging “simply anybody right now who’s in a powerful position who can impact this issue through social media. Let’s really try to save some lives.”
The video was accompanied by an equally forceful caption.
“Click the link in my Bio & help me help Houston as well as the other cities that are being affected by Hurricane Harvey….I will be able to track this money and make sure that it is being used properly.”
“Keep your head up Houston & keep your faith. I love you all & my prayers are with you!!!! Click the link in my Bio….I will be calling out celebs daily. You also don’t have to be a celebrity to donate….Any and everybody can click the link and help out!!!! CLICK THE LINK IN MY BIO.”
Chris Brown responded to the video by confirming he had donated $ 100,000 to the relief efforts but noted that he did not donate via the Red Cross.
“Kevin Hart, I accept your challenge,” the singer said.
“We need to come together. I’m donating $ 100,000. So man, this is for everybody in Texas, the relief and everything. I implore and encourage everybody else, who can change and make a change for this, to please donate and help out.”
Beyonce confirmed to The Houston Chronicle that she was trying to find ways to help the people affected by the freak storm.
“My heart goes out to my hometown, Houston, and I remain in constant prayer for those affected and for the rescuers who have been so brave and determined to do so much to help,” she said.
She continued, “I am working closely with my team at BeyGOOD as well as my pastor (Rudy Rasmus at St. John’s in downtown Houston) to implement a plan to help as many as we can.”
The hurricane has been a horrific incident for everyone considered. After buildings were destroyed and citizens were left stranded, emergency services urged them to hang around on rooftops and wait for help.
According to reports, there have been five deaths linked to the storm.
We would like to extend our thoughts and prayers to those affected.
