You know, it always irritates me when celebrities complain about their privacy being invaded. To be clear, I'm certainly not in favor of photographers ramming people with their cars in their efforts to get a shot, blocking in celebrities' cars and not letting them leave until they get the pictures they want, or trespassing onto a celebrity's property, but really, celebrities do whore themselves out, depending upon the public's fascination with them for their livelihood, then complain when the public is fascinated with them. I can imagine that it would be frustrating to never be able to go anywhere in public without someone wanting your autograph or to take a picture of you, but if your career depends on the adoration and interest of fans and you do your best to cultivate that, it doesn't really seem to make much sense when you complain that the adoration and interest of your fans often comes at inconvenient times. There, my two cents.
