I dont actually think that Celebrity's opinions are held higher than a normal persons opinion. I believe the only time a celebrity's opinion matters more than any other person's opinion is when he has reason behind it. I'm not going to listen to Alec baldwin talk about anything, He said he'd leave the United States if Bush was elected, Well guess what, He still lives in Hollywood. Unless you are one of the obsessive people, No celeb is going to change anyone's opinion anymore than I can change someone's opinion. All they have is a broader audience. With a broader audience you have that much more feedback on the opinion. So it only seems that their opinions Count more than mine or yours. They are always in the spotlight so their opinions are too, When this happens its just a side effect that instead of 5-6 people thinking you have absurd ideas, millions of people think you had absurd ideas.
This is how I see it, I could be wrong.

edit: one word missing screws up the entire paragraph :/
