Do celebrities do harm to the Vegan cause ?

We all know the drill. Some celebrities sees a video of be mistreated animal farms.
This produces an emotional response and a vote to never go back to eating meat, but because they are famous, this proclamation is usually made of some national programme. Appeal to their unconditional fans to join the cause. What happens when celebrity wagon vegan?
Ginnifer Goodwin of the popular series Big Love recently told Jimmy Kimmel that he had to resign to be vegan for "health reasons". He stressed that it was still against the ill treatment of farm animals, but loves eggs in the open air and just hamburgers in restaurants.
Last year we have mentioned that Angelina Jolie left a vegetarian diet because it said almost killed and this caused a heated debate about what it really means to be vegetarian. Furthermore, who can forget dressed meat of Gaga? (though not really about veganism)
I wonder if with celebrities endorse anything it is a good idea, as we have seen time and more celebrities fall into disgrace and disassemble their signs with them. After all, celebrities are just people and many have personality types that are inclined to be a bit flaky. Actually in a movie or a TV show that someone so special that they get all the others tell you what to buy or what to believe in?
I guess that the movement of veganist is not very happy with the latest position of Goodwin, declaring that veganism was not healthy for her. I guess after seeing the interview there were some vegans than a night of Taco Bell.
So what do you think about celebrities who support things like the vegetarian diet? Should celebrities shut up about their diets and instead just focuses on promoting their work?
