I have no problem with someone wanting to keep their private life private, even celebrities (to a degree, because let’s face it, a lack of real privacy is one of the costs of fame).
But I when it comes to quasi-celebrities — those who are famous for nothing more than having shagged, married, made a sex-tape with or rubbed shoulders or other bits with real celebrities — then I think okay, sure, let them have their privacy. It’s not like we are really all that interested in what the semi-celeb are up to anyway.
However, I think it’s a bit rich that heiress/married-to-celebrity-cricketer/shagged-greasy-haired-hooker-using-actor/quasi-celebrity Jemima Khan has a High Court injunction preventing disclosure of her personal details.
Why do I object? Because she’s been such a supporter of WankerLeaks WikiLeaks dude Julian Assange and his campaign of publish and be damned. I’m not 100% sure how I feel about him publishing what he did, but I am 100% sure that he should not get away with using his persecution complex to evade proper scrutiny over his alleged sex offences.
If you really believe that it’s okay for everyone else to have their private details released for all the world to see, then surely you should be happy to do the same. And if you’re not, then grow up and admit that we live in a slightly messy world but we are ALL entitled privacy and that some things are simply better remaining private.
