MOORE HITS OUT AGAINST CELEBRITIES SEEKING ATTENTION FOR GOODWILL EFFORTS
Actress JULIANNE MOORE has slammed ANGELINA JOLIE and MADONNA for deliberately seeking media attention for their humanitarian efforts.
Moore, 47, claims she has made a conscious effort to keep her own political and social activism out of the limelight, and she cannot understand why stars get so much attention from the press for volunteering their time to help others.
She says, "It's definitely the 'to whom much is given' thing. And we have a tremendous amount of privilege.
"But, at the same time, I don't know why so much emphasis is placed on celebrities who volunteer. Most people do things in their daily lives. It's just normal."
Moore currently sits on the board of pro-choice organisation Planned Parenthood and works in support of U.S. campaigns for international non-profit organisation Save the Children.

Angelina Jolie is involved in humanitarian actions because she really cares about
people such a refugees, idp's, children. We can notice that there is hardly any
media coverage when she travels abroad to visit refugee camps. She doesn't do that
to draw the attention on her but simply because she wants to help people, she is
sincere.
Surely by 'hitting out' she's bringing her good deeds to the medias attention?
