Hello Friends, back with a new topic for discussion. I hope there is a good participation in this one as in the previous ones.

The topic for the discussion is:

Should a celebrity's personal life be open to public? Should every aspect of his or her life be scrutinized at length by media and the fans equally?

eg. I just saw a thread with title New baby of Shilpa(I assume its Shilpa Shetty being discussed by the user) Isn't she entitled to a little more privacy regarding her baby?? This is just an example and not the actual topic for discussion. Please read the questions carefully and post views accordingly!

But please note, anyone posting merely nice information shared, thank you and only repeating others' posts will not be considered and will not be eligible for 50 points as well.

According to me it is not necessary to disclose the celebrity's personal life because it doesnt matter to a common man like us what these celebrities do in their personal matter.
Media and reporters get the gossiping news for their newspaper and celebrities become famous with such disclosure of their personal life to public. Thus such news are beneficial for these two people and not for common man..
No according to me personal life of a Star should not be disclose in front of Media.As media takes your little thing infront of the world.They also have some private life and they want some of there time alone without any interval.......
Yes if media disclose the celebrity personal life.They got the news for their television or newspaper and in this process celebrity got a lots of fame and name.What we Got Nothing.Only some interesting news with your morning Tea or Coffee.....
I agree that disclosing about celebrities in media is unnecessary. But, most of the celebrities purposelly give some unnecessary news to media to make him/herself popular. They like some one talking about him/her personnel things.
Most of the celebrities updating their day-today activities on social networks and the same will be copied to media's. So, it shows that they are purposely leaking news about them self.
I am not against the publicity that a celebrity is asking for so obviously. Let me clear my point about this issue of privacy of a celebrity first. While the celebrity her/himself is asking for the publicity by intentionally providing clues on every step to make them a little more popular. There are exceptions to this, they know how to keep such matters hidden, and they do it successfully.
For Instance Sachin Tendulkar declined all offers, big offers, which could have brought him millions, but he preferred to decline them while he was to marry, offered for filming, and photography for his marriage ceremony.
Likewise, BigB has not disclosed a thing about his granddaughter yet. They are exceptions and deserve secrecy but the one who is asking for it is getting what he is likely to get.
I am sure they get kicks for letting media and public talk about them and in turn they see their graph of popularity going up.
Yes almost all the celebrity has a Tweeter account and they Her/His self share all there little things to this social networking Site.If Media Do that what is wrong Behind it...
All celebrity has different way of collecting Publicity as any body Know how many brand Did sachin Sign With different Brand.They select Which Topic Need To be Disclose and which Topic To be Hide.....
Celebrate or not everybody have some personal life and we should not disclose to others.
Media plays a great role . In many cases they make gossip also to sell their publicity.Many don't want to disclose their personal life like Sachin and Amitabh etc and there are many who want just publicity and call media to say some thing and always want to be in lime lite.
Good side of a human and good work helps to make a good character .So we have also some duty to follow such good things and avoid worst.
One another Celebrity is sharukh khan He discuss every little thing in Media.As they Got Publicity and Media Got a Good Gossip as What Happening In IPL Season Five all know about it....But I never Heard about Sachin and Amitabh to disclose their Little Gossip in front Of Media...........

There always are two faces of a coin and the other one says yes, they have right of privacy. They are as much entitled for their own ways of living, declaring, celebrations and enjoying their lives as others do. However, the problem is most of them finding scoops a better way to make them popular. They do not mind even fabricating stories to make them popular and stay in the news; I think they even pay to channels and gossip magazines to help them stay there.
Generally, public likes to enjoy the ways of bold and beautiful and hence their stunts make good stories. Do you think media can afford to print or televise if they protest seriously? I guess I shall come with few more proofs to make myself clear.
No its really bad that these days media tries to get the news which people want to see. :evil: Its obvious people like to peep in the personal life of the celebrity they like but its really bad that media expose it to the extent which they should not do. :angry: Celebraties too have their personal life and they like us don't want it to be exposed. :)
Why it is bad when media try to get News of celebrity that people want to see.It is good for people who want to see such type of Gossip....Both Media and celebrity are responsible for pass out these type of gossip of celebrity to the common People.......From these Gossip they think this will add a five Star to their personality.......

Not always it adds 5 stars to the personality of the celeb sometimes their image becomes bad in front of their fans like what happened in the case of Salman and Vivek oberai when Salman called Vivek on his cell and said many bad things which he should not :evil: .But on the contrary nothing happened to the common people they just saw the news and enjoyed it. :laugh:
They told all the person talk to media Itself.They why thinking for the good result.As Sunil said Every thing has Two faces just like a Coin.If they Keep this thing in front of media then ready to face both the situation.Such as bad or good.......
I respect privacy of all including celebrities. However the celebrities themselves invite others to encroach on their privacy. They are themselves to blame.

Most people are affected by personality cult. They even worship personalities in religion, arts, politics etc. This cult of personality is an antithesis to individual freedom, democratic values and free thinking.

We should be more interested in performance of celebrities in games, movies and elsewhere and not bother about their personal or family affairs. Such attachment to personalities gives rise to very funny situation. Once, many Amitabh Bachan fans demonstrated before Income Tax Department offices throughout the nation just because the celebrity was served with a notice. One day, the so called celebrity fans may even go to length of supporting even against heinous crimes like rape and murder and interfere with legal process.
Only celebrities are responsible for the way they want to be presented, if they deal media with strict hands to not to present them the way, they can certainly stop them. Why you do not hear such things about some of the top stars in different fields and why do you hear so much for lesser ones. This is because they want to be presented that way. They get publicity out of it that is their main aim. They leak the story of going to market in Burka even before starting from home.

There is nothing wrong in seeking publicity. But publicity should be for products/ services and not personal or family life. Let e celebrity give full page interview or even advertisement on his professional achievements e.g. cricket match, movie roles, future projects. But bringing private matter in public gaze is not desirable.

The viewers should be more concerned with celebrity's performance rather than his personal life.
There is nothing wrong for doing publicity of their personal life. Due to celebrities it will some problem to them when they celebrate. Mam that shilpa is not acting in movies like this she will be memorized by people. They also humans and we must respect their fellings.
People are more interested about the personalities of movie and cricket.Even I have seen that many follow the style of hero or heroines.So personalities should be published about positiveness not negatively.
To follow a man or woman is not wrong but follow the good things .
There are many animals on water,but swam eats only fish and others eat insect.This is your choice what do you follow.
