Ya gotta love the Brits. The optimism. The willingness to help. Here comes a British charitable outfit that has set out to help educate celebrities so that they don't say dumb things in public. It's Sense About Science. Excerpt:
People in the public eye are often drawn into promoting theories, therapies, and campaigns that make no scientific sense. This leaflet shows how easily some mistakes could have been avoided. Now it’s possible to check the facts before going public. Hundreds of scientists from many fields are available to help you get it right for the public. It costs a phone call.
In the first week of January 2007, we released Sense About… Science for Celebrities, a leaflet that was elegantly abridged by the Sun: ‘Profs rap dim stars’! Download the leaflet (pdf) and read about Madonna’s, Joanna Lumley’s and Chris de Burgh’s brushes with nuclear physics, oncology and physiology.
It's just a phone call away. Rosie? Whoopie? Got that number?
