BABY, JUST
LEAVE ME ALONE
Are celebrities entitled to privacy or did is this the life they signed up for? Is there a line between gossip temptation and ethics?
The answer is YES!
Though celebrities are rich, popular, and sometimes talented people, THEY ARE STILL PEOPLE! They still deserve the same rights as civilians do, and ultimately should be subject to the same consequences if they do something wrong.
Just because they signed up to be an entertainer in no way means that they intended on having their lives being invaded by ruthless paparazzi and not lead normal lives. This also does not automatically mean that they signed up to be an entertainer just so that people could gawk over their every move.
Which brings me to a common misconception of entertainers. There is a difference between someone who wants to be famous and lives for all of the attention, and someone who actually has talent, and uses it for the greater good. Is that aggravating? Yes. Should we as a society be mad at the hustle? I say, No. I personally would rather see a family capitalize on being a family (*cough cough the Kardashians,*) than to see someone do something illegal for fast money.
Celebrities are starting to get to the point where they would rather their fans here it directly from the horses mouth as opposed to reading some twisted or diluted gossip tip. Jodie Foster for example, could have possibly came out about her sexualitiy and this year's Golden Globes. Here is what she said as far as privacy being her most valued possession.
"If you had been a public figure from the time that you were a toddler, if you'd had to fight for a life that felt real and honest and normal against all odds, then maybe you, too, might value privacy above all else (France, 2013)."
I can understand breaking the law, but being mad at someone who is rich and famous, and then trying to violate thier personal rights as a human being? That's a bit much.
