I think the media needs boundaries when it comes to a celebs personal life. No one ever thinks of it as bullying but it’s definitely harassment. Talking about their music and movies (their actual jobs) is one thing, getting into their relationships behind closed doors, visiting home towns for dirt…

While I agree with how crazy the media are and how it’s ridiculous how they’re allowed to do unscrupulous things for the sake of their business, I gotta tell you, I just don’t care. The plight of celebrities is of no concern to me. Yeah, it probably really sucks having your life put on display like that, but one, you did fight tooth and nail to get to the position you got to, and you KNEW beyond a shadow of a doubt what was in store for you when you did. And two, hopefully all the money, fame and power helps. There are people in this world who need your advocacy. Some rich, famous powerful person who doesn’t know you and has zero interest in you or your life is not one of them.

edit: When you’re a public figure, legally speaking, you have no right to privacy because you chose that life. If for example, people started stalking the shit out of say, Kate Middleton before she became Duchess, they could be sued (and were), because just because she happened to be famous, she was famous for dating someone, not for intentionally putting herself out there to be scrutinized. Therefore, it was illegal, and she sued them and won.


edit: I can’t read, spell, or form real sentences.

No offense to the OP, though, srsly.
