Kickstarter is the leader of the crowd-funding phenomenon- where entrepreneurs with amazing ideas ask the online community for the financial jump start they need. In return, backers receive sweet rewards in the form of products or experiences. Celebrities have also taken to the site to ask for funding for their personal projects. Zach Braff and Kristen Bell made news when an overwhelming amount of fans donated millions to their projects. Spike Lee was all over the headlines this week when he launched his new film campaign. Check out our round up of the celebrity Kickstarter campaigns- both failures and successes!
