Celebrities privacy

[Bossanova]

As a regular person, we are left alone, and given our privacy. But, once we do something that makes us famous, such as become a movie/music/tv/etc star, that privacy that you had is gone. I'm sure we've all seen shows/movies/etc of people who basically stalk the celebs, trying to get a picture, or autograph.

Most celebrities, while they do like being in the spotlight, still want their privacy. Some of them can't even take a crap without finding some photographer in the window trying to take a pic of them nude to sell for money. Or, the celebs with their loved one - people trying to find out who the star is dating, or why they broke up.

Some claim that "it's the price of fame", or "once you become a celebrity, you have no rights to privacy". Those who claim that should really wake up. I don't care what they're famous for, everyone has a right to privacy. It's really sad that, for a job, people go around stalking celebrities, and not caring about them.

If I ever become famous, I would just flip off the cameras and enjoy life. I don't care about my privacy at that point, if they want to spy on me driving to the 7 11 to get a snickers bar, then so be it.

There's a good time for cameras and such and there are bad times.

Good time: Press conference
Bad time: While an actor/actress is attempting to find the nearest restroom.

They should get some privacy, it's only right.
It's really annoying how some people do whatever they can to find out if an actor is a homosexual, if he/she is they obviously don't want the public to know. (Especially since homosexual actors have harder times finding a job)

Last part of that post = not true. In any way

 

[Hotspot]

I"m pretty sure I heard that's why no one comes out, although maybe it was that they don't come out because they are afraid they're fans will hate them.
But it's definitely easier for a straight actor to get a job then a gay one.

What about Ellen and Rosie O'Donnell? There are tons of other LGBT actors also.

If they want to be famous they will have the deal with the cameras and newspapers. They cry when they get no attention, then they cry when they actually get the attention they moaned they never got.

+1 I totally agree.

It's true most want to have their cake and eat it......

Many famous people (Princess Diana Included) court the press, they will often tip the press off as to where they will be and when, often when they need a bit of exposure, but they are the first to complain when they are hounded. It's the same with celebs who put their children in the limelight by doing photo-shoots etc then complain when snappers take pictures in the street. You just can't have it both ways :shrug:

So true, so true.

It doesn't make much sense to have them complain about the very thing that they are capitalizing on. The only reason these people are rich in the first place is because their talent was what put them into the spotlight.

Everything comes at a price, and the price for fame is anonymity and privacy. When you step into the spotlight, you put your life, and the lives of anyone around yoou in the spotlight as well and anything and everything you do, good or bad, will be as well. When you become famous, you lose your anonymity, and a lot of your privacy.

These people already know this, and yet, they still traded it for $$$. Therefore, they really can't complain about having their personal lives aired out like that. These people wanted to be famous, and so it doesn't make sense to reap the benefits when things are good, but then condemn it when things are bad.

That is just the price you pay for it.In a few years time, when they start to become irrelevant, then they will end up wishing for the days when everyone actually cared as to what they were doing, and will likely end up with a reality show in an attempt to recoup some of that fame.

I do think that the paparazzi does go too far sometimes. They should not be around hospitals, on private property, schools, places of worship, restaurants or the doctor's offices. Unless of course, they are invited to these places by the celebrity themselves.

They should not be causing car accidents that can hurt or kill someone just because they want a good photo of a celeb with their lover.There should not be a demand for sex tapes and other private footage, and there most definitely should not be death or dying pictures what-so-ever.

I think that the only thing worse than what the paprazzi does, is the fact that they are employed by those who eat, drink, and breathe celebrities. The media outlets who employ the photographers would be out of a job if the people would stop watching the celebs, and start minding their own business.

Of course, if that did happen, then the celebs themselves would be the ones chasing the paparazzi, and selling footage of their private moments to the tabloids.

Tats whats bad about being famous

The government has no right to tell the press that they cannot follow certain people around. That is totally against our constitution and the foundation of this country.

Sure, if the press were to step on the property of a celebrity, bust through a celebrity's front door, or otherwise, then yes, they broke the law.

However, making special laws for celebrities is not right.

Fame comes with price. If you are normal person, you can have privacy. At anytime you might become famous and had your privacy sacrificed. Once you become famous, there is no turning back. You will not gain privacy any longer. If you suddenly got lost, the next day there will be report you have been seen somewhere ... then maybe your family will get attention from medias too. Everyone has right to privacy but as a celebrity, you will not get privacy.

I agree. And I don't know how companies get away from penalized for stalking. I don't even know how each person stalking even get away from being fired.

The right to privacy is a basic human right; there's no reason that celebrities should be denied this because they're famous. Also, I really don't care what Lady Gaga, Simon Cowell or Kylie Minogue had for breakfast, or even who they are dating - I wouldn't care if they were normal people; why should I care now.
