Privacy: Where does it end?

[The Stranger]

They have no "function" as they are not professionals. The only thing they do is be close to a professional in a personal relationship. Often, if they have a job it does not form a part of this fame. They get invited to the parties which are going to be swarming with media because of their fame, no other reason. If you don't like that - don't go. If you won't want to be photographed half cut and croping someone - don't get drunk.

If they are playing a star, then there is both the aspects of ascendence and fall. Most stars follow both and most stars are happy to have the former and not the latter, but they are both intertwined. If you don't like the package, then don't get involved with it.

thats not entirely fair, because their fame is bestowed upon them, usually for doing something they like and that others envy or appreciate. they are still human beings, and as the law should apply to them as to the rest of us, they deserve the same rights as do the rest of us.

i agree with you though, that when you dont want the negative side of something, you shouldnt pursue it, and if you find the positive side of it to tempting to resist, you should take the negative with it. but being famous does not mean that one has asked for it or that one was looking for it. some people do willingly search the attention, and they should also take the negative side of the attention they seeked which is limit in privacy. but not all famous people look for attention and yet are harrassed at every turn they take.
