Trough the years famous people have had a public life that generates several disavantages for them. In my opinion, they should have more privacy where people and the media respect and separate their successfull careers from their private lives. The obsession of the main of journalist that do whatever to obtain information about people with fame and the contribution of the society that consumes this kind of publications help to increase this problem. Nowadays it should be possible to find a balance or create some restrictions for the media.
In the first place, journalists do anything to investigate private details about famous lives without thinking on the consequences for them. For example, in hollywood it is very usual to permit this interference and the media takes advantage of that. The public life of Britney Spears has caused desintegration of her family and drugs addiction. If people dont pay attention to this kind of people they probably wouldn't have an eccentric behavior.
On the other hand, people enjoy knowing every detail about the life of their favorite stars buying magazines, papers and looking for this kind of information. In this way they generate profit to the media and they can follow on the cycle. The life of princess Diana is a clear example about that because the hound of the media took her to the death.
In conclusion, famous people know that their lives are somehow public and they must learn to live on this way but the media, jounalists and goverment should help them creating and respecting restrictions for avoiding bad experiences. They have the control of the information and on their hands is the observance of the rules.
