And I thought I just made it clear why it might be important. She's not "just a celebrity". She's a celebrity who is in a position to be knowledgeable about refugee children. Just as, say, Charlton Heston was a celebrity who was in a position to be knowledgeable about gun ownership. He was not in office, nor running for office, yet his opposition to Gore was covered, and influential. Is that a problem? Should the media have not reported it? Yes, he was the president of the NRA, but he was only chosen as such BECAUSE of his celebrity. Jolie may not be president of an organization, but she works a lot with the UNHCR. She's not just some starlet looking for attention.
