Plus, I have another quote for you.

“Fame is a vapor.
Popularity an accident.
Riches take wings.
Only one thing endures,
and that is Character.”

-Horace Greeley.

This picture makes me laugh because when I was a very little girl I would try on all my grandmothers fine rings, stacked together, and then dance around in a party dress. Of course I was three years old! What’s her excuse? … Oh ya, she’s mentally three years old. I feel that celebs have such a negative influence on society. It concerns me that young girls would much rather be the next Cameron Diaz instead of the next Mother Theresa. The media and celebs could make such a positve contribution to society, if only their powers were truely used for good.

The quote from Gandhi is incredible. My husband and I liked it so much we are going to make a wall hanging with his very wise words. Thank you for sharing them. We hope to always live by his sentiment. BBoth of us are trying very hard to make a difference in the world and it can be discouraging when one focuses too much on the behaviour of others. Change really does happen one person at a time, and it starts with ourselves.

For those who understand no explanation is necessary. For those who don’t no explanation is enough.

Not, only is it absolutely disgusting to have that much cash wrapped around your fingers for one night just to promote an accessory but the fact of the film “Blood Diamonds” has been such a hot issue that it proves my theory that Cameron Diaz is a not terribly bright person.

Plus, diamonds are soooo overrated! I can somewhat understand why they have such high value because of the rarity but, the pricing and purchasing just strikes me as pure greed, vanity, self-indulgence, and all around selfish!

Charla, again, I agree with you! You always seem to mention in your comments “Life needs balance” which is so true! There are too many extremes and not enough self control and integrity in this society! And, of course Hollywood is the worst place to look for hope in this case!

Celebs are consumed by the riches and fame that is has ruined their fundamental psycological make-up, which is sad to see that so many succumb to the glam n’ bling!

I have on more say thing to say and it’s a quote from Gandhi…

“Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

When I saw this article I was disgusted.

How can anyone justify wasting that much money on jewellery when there are so many other ways the money could be used to better the world?

And yes I know that it’s likely that she borrowed the jewellery from Cartier or wherever for free so she can promote it or however they usually justify this type of thing but just the fact that there are pieces of jewellery out there that are worth that much in the first place is sad. As everyone has said they look like cheap rip offs anyway so why not wear cheap fakes in the first place?

I have a ring that was less than $100 but everyone who sees it thinks it’s worth thousands because of how well it’s made. There’s no way you can justify wearing that much money around on your hands Cameron!
