Stars and their privacy

Once upon a time movie stars' private lives were kept under wraps but nowadays with the internet it seems we can find out what they had for breakfast. Should they be allowed to get on with their lives or should we be entitled to see what they do as it is their "job"?

these are only people that still put there clothes on the same as most of us and still need air and water
except for the tv and radio what makes them so popular is a complete unfixeation for me
so in other words lets lets let them watch the kids eat breakfast and see how much the crazy addicts of tv and entertainment enjoy it for a few weeks

Now a days people are becoming celebrities due to the gossips they create.most of the times the gossips are created by the celebrities them selves.celebrities are entertainers and they make money by entertaining people.they should not be concerned about getting too much attention .

I very rarely read Women's Weekly, Who and the like but whilst at a friend's place leafed through a magazine. It was very sad to see that Suri Cruise has turned from a shy youngster into a little miss who throws tantrums and rules the roost. Perhaps it is her environment or her parentage but that youngster certainly has changed. On the other hand it could be gossip only and the photos catching her at the wrong angle.

I believe there has to be a certain line drawn. Yes I believe that celebrity have a job that works hand and hand with the media else they would not be famous. But I also believe most of the stuff written in magazines is false stories made up so magazines can make more money off juicy pictures and articles. Stars need family time which I believe should be private.

i think its quite rude that they are chased like that and have no life at all.they are human beeings just like any one of them and they give us most of their time so i think its unfair not to let them the little time they have to spend doing what they like in privacy.

Movie star's private lives were never kept under wraps and the internet has nothing to do with it. Being in the public eye is what their fame is dependant on. If you can't have a brilliant carreer, at least you can be famours for being famous.

Personally, I'd be much relieved if the the entire celebrity industry just disapeared.

Their 'job' is to appear in movies and to help promote the movie by turning up to premiers, interviews etc. Its not their job to be photographed while they go grocery shopping or while on a family holiday. Not only are they photgraphed, they're subject to verbal abuse in a cheap shot to get some reaction out of them, they're stalked, paparazzi throw themselves on the sidewalk so they can get 'upskirt' pictures of female celebs - i don't see how any decent human being could say that this is ok and celebs should take it in their stride because its just 'what they signed up for'.

And not only is this more than just a little bothersome for the celeb, it affects other people around them too. Can you imagine living in a suburb where you couldn't even drive back to your own house because the roads are clogged with paparazzi or not being able to do any grocery shopping because a celeb happens to be there at the same time, along with the hoard of paparazzi rushing and pushing to get their shot? What a nightmare.

I don't understand those people who are so interested in the lives of celebrity they buy those magazines just s they can see pictures of celebs 'walking to the shops', or 'walking to their car', or 'eating at a cafe before walking to their car'. Its just sad.

Celebrities set themselves up to have their privacy invaded. It's all part of being in the profession. What would they do if the media took no notice of them?

I think they should be allowed privacy in their life. I know we all love a bit of gossip but come on. I recently watched and american gossip program and was horrified at the coverage of John Travoltas son's death. They interviewed the medic who attended the scence and he was relaying word for word what John and his wife said. I know we thrive on this stuff - but this was pushing the boundaries for sure.

Should the price of fame be a loss of ones freedom? Celebrities are only people who do a particular job. They may be very good at it but we don't see the same reaction to others who are very good at their job, like doctors, nurses or those who volunteer to help the less fortunate. What makes us WANT to know every detail about celebrities lives? I really don't understand the mentality that makes people virtually "worship" these ones. Is it because we have an inherent need to worship something and we have exchanged God for "idols"? Perhaps because they have lots of flaws, it makes people feel better about being flawed themselves...?

I think just because they are in the entertainment industry, there should be global guidelines setup on what is considered to be entertainment news and what is just plain stalking. I think every human being has a right to privacy, no mater who they are.

Surely we can all see how much people just love to see celebrities careers plummet after doing something they consider to be 'not right'. So, when an actor/actress/singer 'can't handle reality', it tends to makes the public feel better about themselves . What is that saying about us?

That's the price of fame unfortunately and with the advent of the net etc comes more opportunity to expose and peep into their private lives. I don't see it changing...

I have had been to seminars where the golden rule is what is said in the room stays in the room. I don't like it when the media set up a situation just to sell a concieved bit of news. Shane wayne in london, that car racing exec who got caught.
