Exactly Dawn. That is what I meant by saying people are famous for being famous now. They are being payed ludicrous ammounts of money for doing very little, albeit they are only paid because people are gullible enough to pay to see them doing these things.

If someone enjoys writing songs, singing or acting and they are good at it they should be able to use the media to share themselves with the world, but that shouldn't automatically give the world the right to follow them around and criticise them constantly. They are currently surveilled and no longer have any privacy. Just because they may have some talent in some area doesn't give us the right to follow them all the time.

Obviously those who are famous for being famous choose to do this as they are attention seekers, but the few remaining celebrities that still have any discernable talent should not have to endure the spotlight for any longer than they wish to.
