Celebrity news has become one of the most dominant features in news reporting today. The Rhianna, Chris Brown debaucle was brought up in the discussion of public vs. private information. Was it right for TMZ to break this story like they did?
Chris had done a very negative and abusive thing - therefore as a role model for those who he influences he needed to be shown in a very negative light. People need to know that Chris's actions were wrong here.
The definition of celebrity is that of a 'widely known person; or a role model; or a renowned or famous person.'
Ian Richards quote: 'By entering public life, individuals surrender any claim to personal privacy.'
This means that when someone famous does something stupid or illegal it will get published somewhere by someone- it is in the public interest right?
The question needs to be asked as to when do public figures get a private life? Everyone needs to have a bit of privacy, so when actions are undertaken that are not in the public's interest and are done in the privacy of a well known persons life - they should be given certain private rights.
Shouldn't they???
