Actors are paid millions to star in movies that are seen by millions of people. More importantly, actors don't run your country or pass laws which affect you personally. If you don't like an actor, it's easy to not watch his movie. If you don't like a politician, you're stuck with her if she gets elected.

Why do people like you always rush to defend obvious bribery anyway?

Companies are investing into diversity, for example Intel will invest $300M over a few years. Hiring prominent feminist seems like a good way to do that.

Also such event often makes profit on donations.
