Please explain to me the fascination with celebrities' private lives?..There are actors of which I love their movies and athletes that I love to watch play. But as far as their private lives, I really don't need to know all the lurid details. Do we really need to know that Brad Pitt is now with Angelina Jolie?..Do we need to see paparazzi pushing and shoving to get a picture of Lindsay Lohan going into a store?..I just don't understand why their every move makes the news. Now, of course some celebrities, like Paris Hilton, court the media due to what I believe is their desire for attention.

One explanation that I've heard people provide is that because celebrities are public figures, all the hype that surrounds them comes with the territory..Well, in my opinion, these celebrities are still people and should be allowed some sort of privacy..I wonder how these paparazzi and entertainment reporters even sleep at night considering the lengths they will go to invade these people's privacy..I wonder how those "stalkers" would feel if the tables were turned. How would they feel if someone was following them and their family day and night just to get a picture of them..Just don't understand..
