Why Do We Need Hollywood’s Opinions?

In analyzing the VP debates, the media went to the most logical source for commentary: Hollywood.  Yes, apparently, the “stars” know all there is to know about “real” America and understand the plight of  regular folks better than anyone.   I have a question:  In what universe do millionaire performers, who can’t present an award without taking home a six-figure gift bag, represent  the “average” American.  I think Hollywood needs to rethink its political opinions and put its wealth where it might do the most good for its own community. I hear The Betty Ford Center is in need of a new wing.
