Celebrities vrs privacy vrs paparazzis vrs public exposure?

[kitty71]

Do you honestly believe that even though celebs are human beings like you and me and they are entitle to have their private life as well, the entertainment business is a double edge business because celebs need exposure to remain in the public eye,, feel famous and popular and need the public so their checks can keep coming in at cost of theri private lives?

I read this on an article not so long ago and the article says:

"A lot of experienced celebrity photographers will hang out in areas that “the beautiful people” may frequent like popular clubs and restaurants. But unless they have gotten a tip, it’s often just a fishing expedition with no guarantee of success. Still, success achieved by capturing a great image of a popular celeb can pay handsomely enough to make all the waiting worthwhile. Celebrity by its nature feeds on attention. Some (not all) celebrities let media know where they will be. Some go to places where media hangs out.

I mean celebs needs phtographers to remain acitve and relevant and they need that kind of exposure to be more popular and famous if that is their intention.

There is an young actor who was famous for his TV show that lasted 10 years ,. After the show finished 3 years ago he stopped acting and still he is not doing anything related to movies or TV and it seems he is no planning to return to act anytime soon. The public is starting to forget him.

So I do wonder when all these movie stars are caught stepping out from famous restaurants or venues tthey usually hang out while they are not working and that is a public place and all these photographers are there to take photos of them even if it is just walking on a street

(average people also walk in the streets) but when it is a celeb walking a plain street the photo takes a higher price and more interest. Why some celebs get upset they take pictures if 1st the photos are taken on a public place and also they hang out in a place where even photographers know the places the celebs hang out DO you think some celebs, their publicists or even the people who work in that particular venue, are the ones tipping the photographers so they can take pictures of that

movie star and make taht movie star being more famous? I also wonder sometimes if all these movie stars are mentally trained or go to the shrink on a daily basis to learn how to deal with all this exposure for being in a profession they chose , knowing their private life was not going ot be that private anymore, not to care if many photographers are on their faces taking photos of them, walking, going for errands, hitting the gym, when they decide to become a p

It’s a double edge sword. They need publicity to remain in the public eye / continue to get work /create cash flow for themselves…. and they also want some privacy (understandable).

Unfortunately few these days have any boundaries….. celebrities, the people covering the and the people who are fascinated/obsessed with them….. All that creates the mess that we now have.

Me, I could care less about the celebs personal life and could care less about their opinions. As you started, they are just people who have been fortunate to have a skill where they can become famous and earn (generally speaking) a high paying wages. Putting them on a pedestal is ridiculous, and setting them up for failure/disappointment.

Yes of course they should have the right to a private life, I mean their profession may be entertainment, but its still a job and that shouldn't be 24/7.

We all saw the documentation on what happened to Princess Diana. Yes, they are deserving of privacy outside of their public roles.

They all love fame and drama. Nobody really cares but them anyway.

[kitty71]

if nobody really cares then why people keep reading about them and tuning and watching thier movies, their tv shows?

[Guy13]

Because they have no lives of their own and are basically lazy... waste of a life. Everyone will go to a movie occasionally... that is not the same.

Well if people stopped reading about them and caring there would be less paparazzi and invading their private lives. For me personally couldn't care less about any of them.

I also believe that it has to do with what type of celeb information earns more money. Scandals, affairs, infidelity, drugs, those type of news worht more for a paparazzis than their real job as an actor or acrress and their work. People care more about gossip of their private life than their real profession. And that is so sad people care more for the things we do not even have to mind or care as it is not our bsuiness as what is important that is their real profession.
