Girls are not for sale? Haha, how pathetic. They’re celebrities. They’re blatantly endorsing a cause they obviously don’t care about. People are naive. I’ve lived in the Hollywood world long enough. Don’t believe celebrities. They will do whatever is necessary to get scripts.

That’s not necessarily true.
Just because they’re famous doesn’t mean they’re heartless. If you use your fame as a way to endorse a cause you think is righteous, then by all means, use that fame to the company’s - and sometimes your - advantage.

Mmm. These women have all used their bodies to a greater or lesser degree to make money. So I’m not sure if that’s empowerment (use what you have) or hypocrisy. I think Demi Moore pushed the boundaries to achieve a greater acceptance of the pregnant form. Halle Berry just seemed to take it all off to get the Oscar. Beyonce. She does seem to have talent in addition to a bod, but the Diva thing is tiresome.
