Celebrities and their causes


Has anyone noticed that celebrities attach themselves to causes which require intervention from politicians? I agree that the atrocities in the Sudan are awful and something should be done, I don't mean to downplay that. Truly, what is keeping celebrities from feeding the homeless right here in this country, or helping to build a home for a single mother who left an abusive situation or lost someone? I see some athletes doing that but not any movie stars. Is it not high-profile enough, or does it place too much accountability directly on the individual choosing to be involved?
