Media and Celebrities

I was just reading some of the other posts and got me thinking about the media and celebrities as well. Unfortunately today, when one becomes a celebrity, your job description also includes paparazzi snapping away pictures of you doing very normal things in life. This never used to be the case - yet now, it is expected. It's sad because everyone is literally watching their every step. If they do something embarassing or commit a crime, the way it is presented in the media is amplified tenfold. Then whoever picks up a magazine or newspaper, their face is plastered all over. It is as if they themselves are in jail being watched over!!
