While promoting a concert in 1986, Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Crystal and Robin Williams each stayed in $1,000-a-night suites in a swanky hotel. The concert? "Comic Relief" -- a fund-raiser for the homeless.
[For another trip, Goldberg spent $2,500 buying half the seats in a club car for herself and her entourage. Where was she going? To Washington, D.C. -- to testify about the effects of budget cuts on the poor.]
