Celebrities have every right to express their opinions and are free to support whatever cause they choose, but we should not give undue weight to their opinions or look to them for guidance. Their expertise is entertainment, not environmental science.

Premier Christy Clark sounds a little annoyed at the provocative pop star鈥檚 jumping from the band to the bandwagon, and she has a point in noting that if the province needs any advice on twerking, it might contact Cyrus.

The wolf cull is a controversial issue, and serious-minded environmentalists are concerned about it. Those are the ones we should heed, not someone whose immediate goal is, it is reported, to have silicone devil鈥檚 horns implanted in her head.

Miley Cyrus probably knows a lot about the wild life, but how much does she know about wildlife? She鈥檚 clearly eager to bare all, but what can she tell us about bears?
