Celebrities. Is there anything they can't do? Well read this and try not to vomit [via Agitator]
The MTV series features actress Cameron Diaz and a rotating crew of "her close, personal friends [who] think globally and act globally." They tour developing nations, including Nepal, Bhutan, Tanzania, Honduras and visit remote villages in Chile.

Actress Drew Barrymore, who reportedly earns $15 million a film, told MTV viewers in one episode that after spending time in a primitive, electricity-free Chilean village, "I aspire to be like them more." [emphasis defiantly added]
Drew, dear, you want to be more like them, you don't have to go to Chile to do it. When was the last time you killed supper, or even cleaned your own toilet? All good questions.
Barrymore, apparently enthralled by the lack of a modern sanitary facilities, gleefully bragged, "I took a poo in the woods hunched over like an animal. It was awesome."

The 32-year-old Diaz, who earns a reported $20-million a movie, boasted that the cow-dung slathered walls of a Nepalese village hut were "beautiful" and "inspiring," and she called the primitive practice of "pounding mud" with sticks to construct a building foundation "the coolest thing."
The coolest thing? Giving those peasants 1/100 of your liquid wealth to raise them out of abject poverty instead of using their misfortune as a photo-op for your new MTV show where you make more money to throw on your already opulent pile.
