Okay hello everybody.
My question to you today is should celebrities be granted some level of privacy? This very website, it could be argued, infringes upon the privacy of certain individuals. Through reporting on affairs and things like that it can get ugly!
What do you all think? Should we leave celebrities alone when they want to be left alone? I know somebody who gets recognized even when in their hometown and they're just cruising around on their motorcycle.
I think our culture wants celebrities to have no lives away from the cameras.

You do know there doesn't always have to be one, right?
I know but I'm interested in how everybody is and like to catch up. I am very interested in Celebrity Privacy as well.
This should be in Showbiz.

What do you all think? Do we agree with her?
Her PA can Tweet them, later.
Yeah I agree. They should be allowed a life away from the paparazzi. When doing private things, like going to the doctors, it is hugely inappropriate for them to be harassed.
Cher screams "I'm sick!" as she leaves the doctors, but the paparazzi don't back off... http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=OWSsCEKf7CA&NR=1
There's some clause in there about the right to a family life, or something cos criminals are always using it to justify this and that.
Celebrity seems to be the ultimate prize in this culture - and yet it also seems to be not worth the having. There's a lot to be said for going about your everyday business in peace and quiet.
Agreed. Being a celebrity is probably nice when the times are good but when they hit bad times and public opinion on them changes? I wouldn't envy being them.
How many wannabe celebs understood this before they put themselves in the public eye? Not many I would think, most of us have more sense.
If you want privacy then live a private life, don't put yourself forward to appear on reality programmes, televised talent shows or suchlike because if you do, you forego your privacy and you do so voluntarily. Any negative repercussions are your own fault.
If we are talking about celebrities private lives, paps camping outside celebs homes when the celeb doesn't want them there, gossip and tattle, invasiveness etc.
Then of course that is wrong. celebs are allowed their privacy in that sense (or should be). I am very much of the persuasion of "following their output" rather than "following their intimate lives".
Depends entirely on the celebrity.
There are plenty of talented celebs who manage to have a private life and a successful career - Cate Blanchett, Johnny Depp are just 2 examples.
Then you have the Z listers who rely SOLELY on media attention to make money in the absence if any talent - Katie Price. She would shrivel up without media attention.
I agree, there is a difference. However it is unfortunate that the mass media don't seem to acknowledge this difference.
