Six Degrees of Celebrity Philanthropy

Hosted by Claude Brodesser-Akner Aug. 18, 2008 Entertainment
This week on The Business, six degrees of celebrity philanthropy with, of course, Kevin Bacon - actor, musician and on-line philanthropist.

It’s six degrees of celebrity philanthropy with actor and musician Kevin Bacon.  He's behind a website that wants you to give away money like you're a star. Bacon says, "Sometimes people get irritated being told by a celebrity who they should vote for and sometimes they don’t. I think it’s the same thing in the world of charity."
