...the only relevance here seemed to be that they were all women. This belonged in the Fix, and even then, the notion that movie stars usually have some sort of cause celebre isn't anything new.

It never hurts to have a big Hollywood delegation behind your cause.
Maybe. It can call attention to a cause, but also turn off people who resent Hollywood stars for trying to use their celebrity for political purposes. If performers want to donate their talents for fundraising events, that's one thing, but I don't see why I should give more attention to what they think about any given social issue than I give to, say, policy professionals.
