Privacy when it's convient!

Celebrities say they want privacy but how much do they really want it? It seems like they complain about the paparazzi and the bad media they get when things are going bad but what about when things are going bad. When celebrities have a good, drama free life going they want their privacy but when things are going bad or they feel they have fallen from the public radar they can’t get enough coverage. Some of the same celebs who bash the media in good times want to produce their own show on their road to recovery. They invite the media when they need them, i.e. using the media, so what makes them think the media won’t do the same when they need a good cover story?

Celebrities have been known to have their fair share of legal battles with the media over the appropriateness of some of the photos and videos that are shown to the public. Is it me or is there a double standard? When you are trying to enjoy life on the beach you want the media to stay away but when you are trying to recover from a drug addiction or alcoholism that has taken your career through a downward spiral, then you want the exposure so everyone can see what a triumphant person you are.

Celebrities need to make up their minds. Celebs like Steve-O who now has a show soon to premiere entitled, “Rise and Demise”. He has had a drug addiction and been an alcoholic for years but now wants the media to cover his road to recovery.

I do understand celebs want to do better with their lives but I wish they would make up their minds when it comes to their face being in the media. If you want the coverage when things are bad you shouldn’t mind when they are good.
