Music stars are apologizing for concerts they've done in the past for hosts whom may have been affiliated with Libyan dictator, Mommar Gadhfi. Nelly Furtado announced earlier this week she's giving her $1 million fee to charity. Beyonce said she'd donated her check from an '09 concert as soon as she discovered the connection. Meanwhile, in a statement on her website, Mariah Carey said she was "naive and unaware" of just exactly who her 2008 performance was for, and called on other artists to take "responsibility regardless of who books our shows."
