celebrities

Who really cares what celebrities 'think' about anything? I'm not a Trump supporter, but I find the anti-Trump handwringing of so many of these Hollywood and TV celebrities almost comical. Who cares about the political opinions of these self-important blowhards? It reminds one of Laura Ingraham's book of a few years ago, 'Shut Up and Sing.'

I remember seeing a poll some years ago now that indicated the percentage of people who actively followed the careers of major show-business celebrities. Madonna was at the top of the list, but even then only 8% of the respondents said they followed her closely. The other celebs registered only in the 3-5% range. In other words, almost nobody actually cares about these people, yet the media try to tell us we're hanging on their every word. Not true. Shut up and sing.
