I believe that celebrity privacy depends on the individual celeb. Everyone deserves their right to privacy, and are free to choose how much of their private life they want everyone to know about. It's no question that media takes the lives of the famous and serves it up on a plate for society. I would be incensed at a photographer who would take the time and risk of hiding in a tree to take a picture of my baby, just so the world could see. On the other hand, you have a handful of young celebs who seem to enjoy rocking the boat. How much can someone like Paris keep private, or Brittany for that matter, when they continue to slosh their dirt in public. If your behavior calls attention to you, then be ready for a reaction. Some say that any publicity is good publicity, but being busted for driving drunk, or crashing your car on coke, or even shaving your head because of a mental breakdown is just inviting the world to come and see your shame. I feel sorry for the famous who lead their lives, trying to be private, raising their families, and dealing with fly-by-night newspapers trying to invade their lives for a story. I don't give a rat's behind about the ones that purposely invite trouble unto themselves. Like I said, everyone deserves a right to privacy. But it's also about respect.
