So not sure this is taking the discussion in a direction useful to this list, but a thought-- celebrities are not likely to be available to do something like this -- i.e., a series of readings on youtube videos -- unless the videos were connected to a high-profile campaign, a film/documentary, or run by an organization that they are connected to or doing a favor for (and the favor is usually done through a celebrity that's a friend or their management. And the negotiation of a campaign that incorporates a celebrtiy is complicated and time-consuming, and once done, is difficult to manage. It's not impossible and it's not that celebrities (John Cusack was a great suggestion, by the way) wouldn't be interested in the issue, it's just that it may not be worth the time you'd spend in trying to attract someone.
Having said that, if anyone ever did want to attract a celebrity to a high-profile cause, start by inquiring with CAA or the Global Philanthropy Group. Or if you want a simple retweet for profile, most celebrities are pretty obliging with that.
