Ben Afflicted

Ben Affleck has offered his celebrity services to the "Nightline" show and has made a series of reports from the war-torn African country of the Congo. It is estimated over 5 million civilians have been killed in the Second Congo War, leaving the country in need of aid. Affleck commented: "I want to try to bring people along to learn and if they might not tune into this unless there was some celebrity involved in it, either because they're interested in the celebrity or because they want to see the celebrity kind of make a fool of himself, then so be it".

Another celebrity in Africa. Most African people must think all Americans are celebrities as they are the only ones that go there. Affleck said he hadn't seen such a terrible and cruel place since he lived with J-Lo. He then pledged his whole multi-million dollar fortune to help the victims of the war (oh... actually he didn't... surprising).

Made up true fact: There is a charity in Africa called Save Hollywood Idols Today (S.H.I.T.) where supporters organise sponsored drives to send clothes, food and ethnic bead necklaces to hard-up American film stars.
