    As much of a duty as any citizen, so yes they do.

    Sometimes I crash in the weeds

    One night I'm suckin' on lemons and spittin' out the seeds

    There are some celebrities that champion good causes, and some that Champion their own. You have to be able to distinguish between who's being truthful and whose not. Now, I live in a place, fairly close to the "Hills", where many-a-celebrity live, and for the most part they don't tend to cause any dissention, or we're so used to the pandering that we just ignore it. The one celebrity that I do respect is Brad Pitt, who actively helps in rescueing endangered species, more commonly bears, but he isn't outspoken about it, he doesn't complain or whine about the situation, he just does what he can to actively help out, during whatever free time he has.
