Princess Diana’s Concert Not Raising Much Money For Charity
Which is fine, don’t throw things at me for reporting on it. Who doesn’t like a concert? And Di was an elegant lady with a big heart. But apparently, whoever was planning this gig didn’t realize that celebrities need stroking and to hell with your charity. This benefit isn’t actually benefiting anyone. Sources are saying that the concert will be lucky if it even breaks even. I blame Fergie.
While profits from the event were initially earmarked for such worthy charities as the National Aids Trust and the UK’s Leprosy Mission, none of these charities has yet to receive a cent. In fact, organizers now acknowledge that the concert may not even cover its own costs.
Though the official website for the event lists several prominent charities and urges would-be concert goers to support them, the concert’s organizers recently told London’s Daily Mail that it is “designed principally not as a fundraising event but as a celebration of the life of Diana, Princess of Wales.” Charities listed on the official website are guaranteed nothing except the option to buy ticket packages at the face-value rate of £45 per ticket. And while the site warns about the dangers of scalpers, that seems like the only way do-gooders can make a buck.

Seriously, Fergie probably wanted 45 pairs of those $300 Mom jeans that are hot right now and make you look like you’re diapered. Blame her. She’s a creepy adult baby. Keep reading for what sources say caused the non-benefit part of the benefit.
