Home Media Russell Simmons Offers to Pay for Occupy Wall Street Cleanup, Says He’ll...
Russell Simmons, music entrepreneur, philanthropist, and social activist, puts his money where his mouth is. He’s offered to clean up Zuccotti Park himself rather than see he #Occupywallstreet people get thrown out. Simmons is serious. On Twitter, as #UncleRush, Simmons says he will go to jail if he has to. He’ll be in the park at 7am. Frankly, the clean up of Zuccotti Park sounds like Mayor Bloomberg’s worst idea since concrete turning lanes and the paving over of Times Square. Third terms are really a bad idea, really. And this one is spiraling out of control.

@ joeishistory . The law says the young people can stay. I love the mayor but he shouldn’t allow this to get violent.
Damn looks like they are gonna start a war out of this non violent movement. This could set off lots of chaos.

Author Roger Friedman began his Showbiz411 column in April 2009 after 10 years with Fox News, where he created the Fox411 column. He wrote the Intelligencer column for NY Magazine in the mid 90s, reporting on the OJ Simpson trial, as well as for the real Parade magazine (when it was owned by Conde Nast), and has written for the New York Observer, Details, Vogue, Spin, the New York Times, NY Post, Washington Post, and NY Daily News among many publications. He is the writer and co-producer of "Only the Strong Survive," a selection of the Cannes, Sundance, and Telluride Film festivals, directed by DA Pennebaker and Chris Hegedus.
Ultimately the Mayor had to cave in to his chums, as he made his huge fortune on Wall Street.
