Julianne Moore slams celebrities who seek attention for their goodwill efforts

Julianne Moore

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 organization Planned Parenthood and works in support of Save the Children.

    I think Angelina being publc about things she does can bring awareness to a specific cause and might encourage others to become envolved. Maybe Julianne should speak out about what she belives in and urge people to be pro-active.

    Anybody else see the blatant irony in this article’s last sentence?

  4. Blondey Says:

    It’s not Angelina who is speaking out. It’s the media’s constant scrutiny of every move she makes. They are the ones who bring her good deeds to light. She is not tooting her own horn.

  5. Toonces Says:

    Yeah. But the last sentence doesn’t have Moore’s quotes around it, just an afterthought of the writer.

    I do think Angelina is doing some good. But, I truly believe it is for attention seeking reasons, more than anything else, especially when she started. She used to wear blood-viled necklaces and cut herself daily, lest we forget?

  6. Uh, yeah.. Says:

    “Moore currently sits on the board of pro-choice organization Planned Parenthood and works in support of Save the Children.”

    …isn’t that just a little oxymoronic?

    I am glad she said what I have been thinking for a long time. There are tons of people out there that donate to different causes and it is kept “out of the lime light”. Some how certain people continue to be in the eye of the storm. There where abouts are leaking from some where and you can’t tell me they aren’t aware of it.

    Funny how she forgot to mention George Clooney or Sean Penn.
    Whatever. I think a better example would be Paris Hilton! Now there’s a media whore for ya!
