Marion Cotillard is Unsure About Charity Work

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Movies, Charity,

Marion CotillardMarion Cotillard doesn't know if it is "worth" dedicating her time to charity work.

The 36-year-old actress - who is well known for working with organizations such as Greenpeace - is unsure if being a celebrity actually helps the organizations because she cannot dedicate the time necessary to them:

"I've thought a lot about whether it really changes something if I speak for a cause or an organization. Does it help? Is it worth it? Wangari Maathai, Aung San Suu Kyi, Mandela - they change things. But actors and celebrities? I don't know. Maybe it's because I don't give enough time to people I support. Sometimes I feel like I should choose between being an actress and having the life I have and supporting a cause that needs all the time we have."

Marion - who was born in Paris to actor parents - admits she has often struggled in her life to deal with her own anxieties, but in recent years has made the necessary moves to be more accepting of herself. "I had my own world and wasn't very happy. I was not a very sociable kid. That was my personality. I was very sensitive. I've finally made peace with myself. I've met amazing people who gave me the keys to make peace with myself."

Sean Young Scores a Role in Rehab

Sean Young Drunk

, the actress from 1982’s and 1987’s , has admitted herself into rehab after embarrassing herself over the weekend.  This incident came shortly after an Entertainment Weekly interview in which she declared she was a “comeback waiting to happen.”  Uhhh, it looks like she might be waiting a little bit longer now.

During a ceremony for the awards, the drunken D-lister made a complete ass of herself and interrupted the proceedings with her obnoxious behavior.  According to reports, she spoke rudely in French to and chose to sing a few bars while was performing.  All that led to her climactic outburst during ‘s (The Diving Bell and the Butterfly) turn at the podium. 

The director - who was a little slow getting started - was disrespectively urged by the lush to ‘get on with it’.  After telling Young to “have another cocktail”, he attempted to go forward.  Unfortunately, the frustrated Schnabel found it difficult to maintain his composure and later told Sean to go ahead and finish his speech.  Upset that he was going to cut his time short, the audience yelled and encouraged him to stay.  It was at this time the party crasher was kicked out of the hotel.  (For a view of the interrupted speech, check out the video after the jump.)
