Is it not appropriate or useful to know the political views of celebrities. In this day and age, it is not uncommon that celebrities are expressing various political opinions at the Oscars, or other platforms. Personally, I am with the opinion that celebrities should keep their political opinions in person instead of speaking it out in public. I feel this way for two main reasons, which I will explore in the following essay. First of all, celebrities are not professional on political issues. Whoever they are, actors, athletes, and other entertainments celebrities cannot compare with those who are more experienced and knowledgeable. Although celebrities may excel in their own area of expertise, however, their insights into public policy cannot be more professional than the ordinary people on the street. For instance, when we confront issues such as taking or not taking vaccines for a newborn, we'd better look for doctor's opinions, which obviously are more professional rather than those not scientific views from celebrities. Moreover, it could lead to consequences where the public is misled by some of the celebrities' misconceptions. Their fame and reputation play a vital role in drawing attention, which means they have chances to impact people's decisions in the wrong way. For example, when I was in college, a singer was a big fan of our governor. Her support has significant effects on the final election. However, things turned in the wrong way. The governor was accused of having serious corruption problems, which disappointed all voters deeply. This demonstrates that celebrities can have negative effects on political issues.

I think that celebrities have the right to speak their minds they are criticizes of this planet after all like everyone alse. It is up to us to educate us so we don't have to believe everything that comes from a celebrity.

Yes, I completely agree with this. Although I'm not convinced that celebrities shouldn't have opinions. I think everyone has a right to those. Politicians, journalists, pundits, and people in general need to realise that these are often not particularly well thought out concepts. Some people spend there entire lives trying to understand and learn about something and their views get less coverage than Kim Kardashian's. I don't think it's wrong for them to tell people their views. I do think it's wrong to have celebrities with minimal knowledge of a subject discussing it with the president, or being an ambassador for the UN. I wouldn't want someone doing my heart surgery because they were a good actor :)
