Celebrity

It's often in the papers about celebrities having their privacy invaded.  The phone hacking business being a main area of discussion at the moment.
Anyone who makes their living from entertaining the public, or who represents the public (MPs and councillors) know what they're getting into.  In the case of sportspeople and entertainers, their income is directly affected by their public profile.  If they're content with a 'normal' pay level, then maybe they can expect a normal level of privacy.  Those who demand mega-salaries have to accept that with that level of pay, they must accept that they're owned by the paying public and every aspect of their lives is under the microscope.
Our public representatives must also accept that if we're going to vote them into power we have a valid interest in their morals, beliefs and way of life.
Personally I've no interest in the seedy details of a lot of these people and can't understand how publishing sex scandals boosts the circulation of newspapers and magazines.  This is one sort of article I definitely won't read.

I still don't get why individuals are paid so much for playing a game, however well.  MPs having multiple jobs also seems to me corrupt - it cannot be possible that they're offered directorships without the employing company expecting some undue influence over government.
