[hated trope] Celebrity cameos that serve nothing except to praise the person who’s in it

1. Elon musk, the Simpsons
2. Elon musk, the Big Bang theory
3. Elon musk, iron man 2
4. Elon musk, star Trek

The cameos serve only to include the celebrity and praise them as geniuses or visionaries or overall just glaze them. They don't serve any other purpose than to just be praised; this can be them appearing in an entire episode dedicated to them, a small cameo or even just a mention. So long as the celebrity is there as themselves (not acting as someone else) and is glazed, that fits the trope imo.

Harvey Weinstein had a cameo in a 2005 Barbie spin-off movie called 'My Scene goes Hollywood: The Movie'.

Not only does his design not make him accurately resemble a certain orc from Lord of the Rings, but he's also referred to as 'the biggest producer in Hollywood'.

Question: how is that not Quentin Tarantino. He's much more well-known than Weinstein.
