Celebrities who think we care about them and their opinions

Here's what I don't understand...the other day, I'm watching t.v. and I see this promo for an upcoming story that has Patricia Heaton from Everybody Loves Raymond talking about Terri Shiavo and saying "I think we need to be reeeeally careful when we start talking about taking somebody's life..." or something to that effect. And the announcer's like "see what Patricia Heaton has to say about Terri Shiavo and why her message is so important." What the f*** makes these people think that we care at ALL what Patrician Heaton or any other celebrity has to say?! It'd be one thing if they got someone on with some sort of background in religious ethics or something, but a random t.v. actress? WHO CARES?! They have one job to do...act. They don't need to share their opinions with us about this kind of stuff as if it's such valuable insight. They're just as ignorant as the rest of us when it comes to knowing the details of this case and their opinions are no more informed than ours. I hate when celebrities try to use their status to promote a political or religious agenda.
