Should doctors stick to medicine?  Lawyers to trials?  Carpenters to wood?  Plumbers to pipes?

In a democracy, all people should have the freedom to express themselves.  If you are jealous that her voice gets heard over others, well you must be livid when capitalists make more money than the next.  That's open society.

I like Anne Hathaway.  Her father is a successful lawyer in New York City.  So maybe that's why she thinks about issues beyond acting, and speaks her thoughts now and then.

BTW...I also like Gwyneth Paltrow.  She was excellent in The Talented Mr. Ridley.

Lol Quill, you often throw the jealousy card out when a woman criticises another woman.....I have noticed that before, it's a very weak response.  

I didnt say she or Paltrow couldn't act, they both can, and they can both sing very well too, it's the way they try to lord their personal opinions over everyone else that irritates.

They get paid very well indeed to act, for that they should realise they have a responsibility to keep their silly sometimes dangerous opinions to themselves....no matter who their fathers are.

That's what I was responding to.

You return to the same argument: they are not entitled to an opinion, because they are well paid actors.  That doesn't flow, for me.  They are as entitled to their opinions as you are to yours, regardless of their economic pursuits.  In a democracy, everyone is entitled to speak up.

There are dozens of articles detailing what happened when people tried to follow Paltrow's advice on diet, exercise, sleeping, etc. and most are hilarious.

Some have even been harmed physically by following gloop, aptly named I might add.

Having opinions, and as you say we are all entitled to have them, is different to giving interviews and appearing on TV, writing columns and books, and generally preaching to the rest of society how to best live your life.
