They should all be exposed and when appropriate prosecuted. There is also a question about when is extravangance immoral in a world of poverty and inequality. There is not much we can do about it all sometime other than refuse to participate. When it comes to entertainment and celebrities, that is exactly the right approach. Ignore them and they lose their funding. Still it can be tricky knowing when to apply guilt by association. Some celebrities seem to be totally empty-headed and unaware of their associates. Still they can not be charged with their associates crimes. You may find you are the only one losing out when you boycot a musician that you enjoyed. On the other hand, this may be a good opportunity to listen to local musicians. People who play because they love it, not for wealth and fame.
