That is such a pessimistic way of looking at things. How about celebrities donate money to charities because, as a celebrity, they have enormous sway over what people buy into so they use their fame for good. Now some people might use charity as publicity, but I think a lot more people do it to use their celebrity to make a positive impact on society.
With that being said, I absolutely believe Lady Gaga is sincere with her support for GLBT rights. That's why she has the potential to be the most important artist of our generation. Our Elvis. Our MJ.
