Wow, that's really cool (although I have my issues with PETA, but anyway...). I had not heard he was ill, but he seems to be handling it with grace and positivity.

Wow, good man. And he makes an EXCELLENT point about how charities are sometimes, not often, but sometimes prone to existing to exist and spending more money to have an event than the event raises.

Good for him.

That's a cool thing to do.

That is a very cool thing to do.

I was going to say "Why not hookers and blow?" but he was previously married to Jennifer Tilly and a Playboy Playmate... guy has probably had enough crazy for five lifetimes.

I especially love that he'll put the money towards no kill dog shelters. Good man!

Trying to leave the world a better place than he found it. Can't hate on that.

Good man....

Nice to see him give the money to charity. NOT PETA, which is a domestic terrorist organization, but certainly the other groups.
