I like some of the celebrities when they are entertaining; but, when they go off script and express their own political views they often sound so stupid. The worse part is that they have so much influence.

Are you kidding me? NO WAY! Many have heads which are inflated with way too much ego!! I like thinkers, not actors with enough money to make them dangerous!

I agree...way too much influence. It is difficult sometimes to appreciate an entertainer's performance without thinking about their offensive (to me, anyway) comments about anything political. I do not believe they do much research on issues but are only expressing views of their fellow performers.

Hello,
No. If the media want to know about acting and stunt work then ask Tom Cruise; if they want to know about tactics in Iraq then I'll ask General Petraeus; under water archeology ask Clive Cussler or Dr.Ballard; the ANC in South Africa check with Nelson Mandella etc.
Cheers,

Hell No.
Kanye West and Sean Penn are prime examples of this. Actually just about any hollywood personality is.

I go by that maxim uttered by Jimmy Crackcorn when it comes to celebrity opinions: I don't care!

No. Most of the time they don't know what their talking about and are only trying to look good for the public.

NO. They aren't the sharpest knives in the drawer...Think about it...they read a script! But yet, so many idolize them...

I agree with you. I only listen to celebrities if they say what I'm thinking! Good nite Sally.

No. I'm capable of separating the fiction they portray in their lives and the reality I face in my life.

i agree, celebrities need to stick with their day jobs... usually when they open their mouths about ANY topic, they just show that they are greedy, uneducated, and only want publicity. its pretty disgusting.
