Stars and big celebrities are often invited to worldwide events. Many of these stars are paid to attend or perform. In the 80's celebrities became known for their social consciousness avoiding performing at places like Sun City. These days it is more about Billionaire dictators and their families. Hilary Swank shoed up at a private affair sponsored by Russian Chechen leader with a long list of human rights violations. In 2010 both Beyonce and Usher performed at a party hosted by the son of ousted leader, Muammar Gaddafi, at a Caribbean island. Mariah Carey was paid over a million dollars to perform with the same person a year earlier. Is this all a case of Money over Morals? Most of the celebrities claim ignorance about the party hosts allowing them detach themselves from the harsh realities about their criminal hosts. In this internet/google world it is difficult to believe that a person can be ignorant about any billionaire or dictator.
