These are people who make a career by pretending to be other people, or singing, playing instruments, and/or dancing. None of those things necessarily require intelligence or enlightenment, nor a great understanding of politics, society, or other aspects of the greater world. Just think of celebrities as good for certain things, i.e. their jobs, and ignore the rest.

but being in the public eye (I would hope) would make someone more wary of what they say and try to do a little research before they open their mouth...  ah. that'll never happen. as you say, they ARE just people and people say and do dumb things.
