Megastar George Clooney is going to donate a quater of the proceeds from his Las Vegas casino, 'The Ramblas', to charity.

The star is reportedly suffering a crisis of conscience after considering how much poverty there is in the world and how much cash he is raking in. He is determined to redress the balance and will do it using his casino, due to open later this year.

"I'm donating it to help make poverty history. It's hard to reconcile the idea that you make a decent living and are building one of the great casinos while there's a bunch of kids starving to death," he says.

This comes in the wake of the Live8 concerts and the "Make Poverty History" drive by Oxfam.
