Perhaps that is as it should be. Perhaps it will help even out celebrities' contribution to the asymmetric distribution of power and influence we're experiencing in the world today.
My own world-view doesn't account for much celebrity contribution, apparently.
1. Celebrities receive preferential treatment within the legal and bureaucratic system
2. Celebrities often have both public appeal and wealth -- two important ingredients for wielding political influence
3. Less importantly, celebrities absorb a high proportion of media attention compared to issues of importance
Not saying anything for or against this, but if your worldview doesn't account for something this big and important, I suggest updating it.
