Pictures and Princesses

Please someone tell me this is a joke: http://omg.yahoo.com/hilton-tries-to-help-drunk-elephants/news/3966 A million causes, hundreds of millions of needy people, and this is the cause she picks to put her celebrity and father's fortune behind? Has the state of California considered involuntary commitment?.

Also found this controversy http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/11/11/AR2007111100779.html about some snapshots taken by Ansel Adams really interesting. I love the fancy pants art history snoots complaining about how MoMA or the Chicago Museum would never exhibit them because they were not completed works. But I wonder if they would have been willing to display DaVinci's Horses, which was an entire exhibit devoted to his sketches. I think it's an apples to apples comparison. And to accuse the tiny Museum of the Albemarle of "profiteering"? Please.
