TUNED IN CRITIQUES OF CELEBRITY ECOTAINMENT.
Time. Title Abstract. Personal Opinion.
Why do celebrities turn their attention to issues like the environment.
It pays dividends in public relations.
Its a form of public service.
It helps to sell their entertainment franchises.
It might be a way to pay back for all the success they have had in life.
The problem comes in when they go overboard on criticism of say Republicans.
It is a fact or legend that Hollywood's power elite are overwhelmingly liberal.
Are these actors, models, and other public figures beholden to this elite.
It might be the truth or it might indicate group think.
Who know's?
Charleton Heston was big for the NRA, while Alec Baldwin is big in Liberal Causes.
It seems that Conservatives do not come into the open in the business of entertainment.
In essence, Hollywood's second tier people control the Celebrities paychecks and you do not bite the hand that feeds you.
