Celebrities perpetuate a whole different breed of racism. Or maybe it's class-ism. The idea that the darling little brown people with their funny bead necklaces are CHOOSING poverty and disease because they're so in tune with "nature" is patronizing as hell, not to mention ignorant. Why don't you spend some of the money you made being filmed shitting in the woods to build a hospital or a way to make safe drinking water? Send the foot masseuse who travels with you home for a week or two, pick up a shovel and help these people that you are so enamored with.
The amount of money these people spend in one day on trucker hats and customized Blackberries could feed a village for a month. I think some of these celebrities and like minded assholes (trying not to get political) would prefer that the poor stay that way so they can continue to have photo ops and something to cry crocodile tears over.
