Hollywood buffet of Political meltdowns
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy. 
Mr. West says celebrity politics is almost inevitable. Anyone with an opinion and a platform is likely to speak out, and political groups are eager to help them.
Do they know more than the average nonentity? Probably not. "You just have to hope that they have smart people advising them," Mr. West said.
Most of the time, Mr. West said, notables know enough not to generate bad publicity. But occasionally, they fail.
I think the Hollyweed crowd fails often, and usually badly.....

Number one, you immediately alienate HALF of your audience. Number two, unless you TRULY practice what you preach, in all ways, you will be seen as a hipocrite. There is also the ever-present possibility that you will be revealed as a fool, as well.
Much better, therefore, to keep it to yourself, at least for professional reasons. I have to believe that these stars' handlers tell them these things, but the stars, predictably, ignore them, so swollen are their egos.
It is my understanding that back in the days of the old studio system, the studio honchos like Louis B Mayer and Jack Warner had the "keep your mouth shut" policy as a rule for their performers. They understood show business and how IMAGE works. They'd also NEVER risk a boycott. Every dollar counted.
