Celebrities are constantly in the media for their outrageous or strange antics. Nowadays it doesn’t take a lot to be known as a ‘celeb’.

Paparazzi also, they go way too far. I don’t think it is acceptable for someone to be taking pictures of another human being and invading their privacy just because there that little bit better known then an ordinary person. People believe that they shouldn’t have privacy as it’s their own fault for becoming famous;
