Shouldn't celebrities have the same rights to a private life as the rest of us have? There are countless magazines completely devoted to stalking these people. It's been said that they became famous, therefore they should be okay with us knowing about every sordid detail of their lives, but I disagree. Just because someone has had a successful career in the entertainment world (and if someone's famous, there's probably like a 98% chance that's why) doesn't mean that they should be subjected to that. If someone doesn't want the whole world to know when they got drunk, does that mean that they shouldn't follow their dreams and instead just go for a desk job? Even the fact that they're making insane amounts of money doesn't seem like justification for these gossip rags.
If you opened a magazine one day to see an unflattering picture of yourself, minding your own business, maybe grocery shopping, that you had no idea had been taken, how would you feel? I think it's kind of strange that this is even legal. In everything else mounds of paperwork have to be signed that someone can use you or your likeness for publicity purposes or whatever it happens to be, why are these human beings seen as having different rights than the rest of us.
Opinions?
This is a kinda hard one to really side on, because celebrities(and political figures) are people just like us who at times want their privacy, but they have knowingly chosen a career that puts them in the public eye, I think there is some law about it for when celebrities sew people for defamation of character and things like that
