Washington
(ANI):
Pamela
Anderson
has
declared
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
oil
spill
as
the
'end
of
the
world".
“It"s
terrible,
it"s
awful.
It
feels
like
it
is
the
end
of
the
world
to
me," Fox
News
quoted
the
actress/animal
rights
activist
as
telling
Pop
Tarts
at
last
week"s
Big
Bluff
Online
Trivia
Game
launch.
“I"m
working
with
international
bird
rescue,
they"re
expecting
(it
to
get
a
lot
worse)
which
is
unbelievable.
It"s
the
worst
thing
that
could
happen,
and
we
won"t
know
what
the
effects
are
until
later."
Unlike
the
tragedy
in
Haiti
in
January,
there
hasn"t
been
an
overwhelming
response
of
donations,
large-scale
fund-raisers,
contribution-driven
websites
and
hotlines,
or
PSAs
encouraging
Americans
to
do
all
they
can
to
help
out.
“Hollywood
stars
have
a
romance
with
saving
foreign
countries,
they
see
America
as
this
rich
and
powerful
country
that
should
fix
problems
on
its
own," said
media
expert
Michael
Levine.
“Celebrities
feel
heroic
in
saving
people
from
other
places.
Patriotism
isn"t
of
interest,
sometimes
Hollywood
forgets
that
America
needs
care
and
consideration
too."
But
according
to
other
entertainment
industry
experts,
it"s
not
a
case
of
celebrities
only
wanting
to
help
out
foreign
countries:
it"s
a
case
of
this
being
a
man-made
disaster
as
opposed
to
a
natural
one.
Media
expert
Dana
Livingston
Ward
explains,
“We're
all
referring
to
this
environmental
mishap
as
'the
BP
oil
spill," which
automatically
places
blame
on
BP,
therefore
no
one
-
Hollywood
included
-
feels
the
need
to
pay
for
a
problem
caused
by
someone
else."
But
some,
like
Kevin
Costner,
Lenny
Kravitz,
John
Legend,
and
Mos
Def
have
pitched
in
to
help
any
which
way
they
can.
But
despite
her
concern
over
the
wildlife
affected
by
the
spill,
Anderson
has
faith
in
US
President
Barack
Obama,
despite
the
harsh
criticism
he
has
been
under
for
not
doing
enough.
“I
(totally
blame)
the
oil
people.
They
made
a
big
mistake
of
not
having
a
back-up
plan,"
Anderson
added.
“I
would
definitely
like
to
see
Obama
do
more,
but
I
also
want
to
support
him
and
what
he
stands
for.
I
think
he"s
a
good
president
and
he"s
very
compassionate,
and
we
have
to
just
trust
that
he
knows
best."
