What's good for the goose, is good for the gander.
Laura is not a bubble head starlet and she is not doing it to be fashionable. She actually wants these children to have a decent life, instead of being left in an orphanage to starve, that she is very capable of giving them.
You can make all the rules you want but I don't think these children would be better off left to die in an orphanage. Laura didn't take a television crew with her when she went either like most of the starlets. She, in fact, kept it a secret until some know-nothing liberal kooks/media claimed she had a face-lift/boob job while 'on vacation'.
