When Celebrity Meets Brutality: Rodman Not First to Mix With Repressive Regimes

from cnn.com: Dennis Rodman's "Big Bang in Pyongyang" may be in a league of its own, but other celebs have performed for audiences associated with repressive governments, too. Unlike Rodman, most have proclaimed ignorance and apologized, with some even donating their profits to charity after public outrage erupted. "I don't give a rat's ass what the hell you think," was Rodman's angry response Tuesday when Chris Coumo of CNN's "New Day" questioned the trip to North Korea.
