Why don't people realize that celebrities who give to charity are not much better than,...?

Some people give to charity for tax reasons too, plus in the case of some celebrities it is a way of increasing their profile because it makes the news. This gives their career a boost as they are seen as good people by the public. If they have not made a film or a song for a while it is also good for reminding people that they are still there. So, I think they may have lots of reasons for giving money to charity.
