As all Atlanta, GA residents know by now, Grady Hospital, one of the oldest running and largest hospital in the city has been in financial duress for some time now. Well I put caps on the celeb good news in the title because it's so wonderful when celebs are noted for their positive behavior and not just the negative.Def Jam Records multi-platinum recording artist and songwriter, Ne-Yo, made a special appearance at Grady Memorial Hospital Monday in an effort to assist the facility in its budget shortfall. I also recently heard (last Wednesday) that Grady just received an allowance from Fulton County commissioners to give the hospital an extra $15 million. Now that's something the "Grady Babies" can smile about. And no...I'm not a Grady baby....anyway...
While in Atlanta Ne-Yo also was a guest on the second taping (he taped the first show at, "Center Stage") of popular V103 afternoon radio personality, Ryan Cameron. Ryan now has his own television show called, "Ryan Cameron Uncensored" on cable network channel, Starz. He is able to curse and say whatever he wants unlike the radio. I like Ryan, even if he is a little over the top at times, but America must like that because he got his own show. He is a funny dude...no doubt. Other guests Ryan has had were Jermaine Dupree (who said he's not ready to marry Janet, maybe at 50) and Jagged Edge thus far. The show is taped in front of a live interactive audience and will air in November this year.
Go Ne-Yo! That's what I am talking about please put your money to use where it is needed more. I am wondering where are all the other ATL celebrities who reside in the ATL. This is sad. We want to let everyone know how many cars and houses we can buy but what about how many lives you can save or help.
