It is pretty sad when so many people like to intrude on the private lives of others, photographers chasing people and their photo's ending up in tabloid without their consent, just because some peoples lives are so boring that they like to spend their time discussing the life of someone else, half-way around the world. I only hope that I live to see the day when it is made illegal for these paparazzi scum to chase people and for so called 'news' papers to rattle on for page after page about peoples private affairs.
If I were famous, and thanks to idiots like these I wouldn't like to be, I would take these photographers to court the same as a common stalker, that is all they are, and I'd stop any photos of myself being published without my explicit consent or rumours/gossip or any details on my private life. There are probably people in the world who are extremely talented but will never share it with the world because of this stupid celebrity culture, and likewise there are people who exploit and propagate it because they want their 15 minutes of fame. Just because these people have a talent doesn't mean that the public has some right to become voyeurs into that persons private life.
It's fair enough for people to discuss actors and musicians and such if they are merely talking about their work, like you mentioned Keiths music Becky, but when there are magazines, full magazines, of just photos of celebrities in supermarkets and on beaches and such it is pathetic and 'wrong'.
I know I go on about this a bit but it really is one of the few things that really pisses me off.
