Tom Hanks, Robert DeNiro, and Michael Jordan helped shape modern American culture and inspired many others who did the same, so I think it's warranted in their cases.
As for Elen DeGeneres et. al, your guess is as good as mine.
It's often the outcasts, the iconoclasts ... those who have the least to lose because they
don't have much in the first place, who feel the new currents and ride them the farthest.
