Note to celebs: Fame doesn’t equal wisdom

They may star in blockbusters, hawk everything from life insurance to yogurt and command legions of fans, but none of that imbues Hollywood celebrities with great political wisdom. Or any incisive analytical skill, for that matter, whether it’s expounding on the environment or abortion rights. That doesn’t stop them, however.

When Georgia was debating its “heartbeat bill,” Reese Witherspoon added her two cents: “Women of Alabama, I will fight for you. Women of Georgia, I will fight for you. Women of Ohio, Kentucky, Missouri and Mississippi, I will fight for you.”

We didn’t know they had asked. The faux-thority isn’t limited to actors. Sheryl Crow, the singer known for “Soak Up the Sun” and other hits, went on a nationwide global warming tour in 2007, and shared her views: “I propose a limitation be put on how many squares of toilet paper can be used in any one sitting.”

And now, with the race for the White House in the far turn, candidates are grabbing every opportunity to trot out a star in their court.

As the Boston Herald reported, Democratic candidate Mike Bloomberg brought in Michael Douglas to campaign in Bloomberg’s hometown of Medford and other communities.

While Douglas played the commander-in-chief in “The American President,” it’s not the same as being the president, or holding any public office. Nevertheless, he talked up Bloomberg.

“This is really, truly one of the best candidates we’ve had running for office in 30 to 40 years,” Douglas said.

Douglas said he’s “progressively become more and more concerned” about the direction of the country in the last three years under President Trump. But he became “ecstatic” when Bloomberg announced his candidacy a few months ago.

Douglas said he contacted the campaign the day Bloomberg announced, and told them he wanted to be involved. The actor noted Bloomberg’s track record with gun reform, job creation and public education improvements.

Bloomberg isn’t the only one, of course. Alec Baldwin, Cher, Tom Hanks and George R.R. Martin, among others, are checking the box for Joe Biden.

Pete Buttigieg can count Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Costner, Robert De Niro, Michael J. Fox, Seth MacFarlane, Gwyneth Paltrow and Sharon Stone, to name a few, in his corner.

Amy Klobuchar got an endorsement from Jane Lynch, while Elizabeth Warren has lined up nods from Sally Field, Scarlett Johansson, John Legend, Rosie O’Donnell and Amy Schumer, among others.

Bernie Sanders can count on Michael Moore, Danny DeVito, Jack Nicholson, Cynthia Nixon, Tim Robbins, Susan Sarandon and Danny Glover, to name a few.

Of course celebrities have the right to their opinion, and like everyone else in this country, the right to express it. But while many of these actors, actresses and singers have entertained millions, that doesn’t give their take on the political workings of our government any more credence or heft than “ordinary” folks.

For the most part, Hollywood celebs live in a rarified world, with multiple homes, first-class service and personal assistants to make the demands of the day that much less demanding. How could they possibly relate to the struggles of families living paycheck to paycheck, of saving for retirement as the tax bite gets bigger and trying to raise children to be productive citizens?

The celebrity elitist caste that feels qualified to preach on what they consider to be the most important issues facing our country needs to step down from the pedestal.

Real people have plenty to say — and they will say it in November.
