Ic3Bullet 01/29/18 9:24:45 PM #55:	Celebrities have always chimed in about current events in popular culture. With the crazy political climate these past couple of years, politics are bigger in popular culture than ever before. Politics is possibly the BIGGEST thing in popular culture currently. So its really no surprise that celebrities are talking about it. Theyre just doing the same thing theyve always done talking about things that are important to the greatest portion of their fan base. <cite>Ic3Bullet posted [p:895072282] in Why do cel...

Do you ever think you would feel the need to gravitate towards this kind of thing if you became famous before the social media era?

You'll probably have to stick with shallow pop songs and the Teen Choice Awards for that. --- Kind Regards, Darmik <cite>Darmik posted [p:895075741] in Why do cel...
