Writer's Block: The Right to Privacy

[Error: unknown template qotd]That depends on the celebrity. Yeah, you're famous, but you've got the paparazzi following you every step of the way, waiting for you to do something outrageous or stupid. Robert Pattinson doesn't deserve the hordes of crazed fangirls asking him to bite them, he seems to be a decent, funny, sane guy. However, some people lend themselves a bit to overexposure and pay with appearing in the tabloids all the time.
Still, in the end it's us, the 'normal' people, who decide how much these people get hounded. WE buy the crappy magazines speculating about whether so-and-so is pregnant, how much weight so-and-so has lost, and which celebrity was drunk driving last weekend. Kinda pathetic, if you ask me. I go through enough of that drama with my own friends and family, thank you very much. In the end, I don't want to know that much about the personal lives of actors and singers. It's nice if I hear that someone got married or had a cute baby or something, but constant trash about relationship issues and anorexia and drug abuse is just depressing and awful.
