...David Geffen, who joined the Spielbergs, Hankses and Streisands in giving the maximum $10,000 contribution. "I would have given more, but they didn't want any more," added Geffen. That's not entirely true -- the Clintons have a $10 million legal hole to fill -- but given that the limit was previously $1,000, Geffen is lucky to be writing checks this large. If he has cash to spare, he might give a thought to Monica: The former White House intern has only received $10,000 total for her substantial legal costs...

In a few short years he has built impressive brand identity, and every few weeks a new No Limit album by a previously little-known performer debuts in the upper reaches of Billboard magazine's album charts.
