   Excerpt
   Vincent (China): Everyone has the right to privacy and the paparazzi should not be allowed to interfere in their life. They should be arrested and fined for invading the privacy of others and the magazines who buy the pictures should be sued as well. Why should famous people be treated like this? Just because they earn more money or what? I think it is unfair to the celebrities.
   Vicki (the UK) : Celebrities know perfectly well that when they are famous, the press is going to try and dig out all the secrets from their private life, but I do think that some things should be private because we are all human!
   Hannan (the US): I think that it seems a bit unfair that the press is so hard on the celebrities. Some celebrities just want to be a singer, or an actor, rather than a red-carpet walking person. They’re just doing something that they really love and are so good at that they are famous for it.
   Linda (the UK): Even though they should have the right to their privacy, the reality is that once you put yourself in the spotlight, you must expect a certain amount of attention in your personal life. It’s the price you pay for having such a high profile occupation or lifestyle.
   Oshuy (France) : French law states that taking a picture of you while you are in your house or car or anywhere private without your consent is forbidden, but allows any shot taken in a public area (with restrictions concerning publication). If the shot is taken at home, paparazzi may be fined. If the shot is taken inside and published, the publisher may be sued for reparations.
   Mark Borkowski (Russia): If you want privacy, you can obtain it by keeping a delicate balance between the needs of promoting what you have to professionally and how you conduct your life. You need to have a long-term commitment to the amount of fame you have generated. You can’t switch it on and off, so you have to have a strategy of dealing with it.
   Christy (the US) : I think that like everyone, they have the right to privacy in their houses, of their medical records, etc. , just like you and me, but when they go out in public, they are fair game for the paparazzi. It’s public knowledge that a job in the entertainment industry makes you a target for this kind of thing. There are some entertainers who do a good job at remaining private, and I don’t think that’s entirely by chance. They aren’t necessarily hanging out at the " hollywood hotspots" or getting into mischief that draws attention, and therefore aren’t as easy to follow. I think that they are well compensated in the size of their paychecks. It’s one of those things where you have to take the good with the bad.

答案 Celebrities also Need Privacy The issue of whether celebrities should have privacy is delicate. Most people agree that they deserve privacy because they are also humans. However, as public figures, they have to compromise part of their privacy because they have to pay the price for being famous. What’s more, privacy can be obtained by celebrities if they are willing to and the law protects their rights as well. Human beings are guaranteed constitutionally protected rights to safety, privacy and freedom of expression. Celebrities without doubt belong to this category as well. The mass media’s digging out the celebrities’ privacy actually is for the sake of their own benefits by accommodating the public interests and sacrificing the celebrities’ basic rights. Although celebrities’ image depends much on the public media, their life deserves respect. Otherwise, they will be prone to excessive pressure and some tragedies like Princess Diana’s death may arise. Sometimes, fans also put their idols in danger for the excessive exposure. On the other hand, celebrities should recognize that to a certain extent they are public property, which means that they need both fans and the mass media to earn a decent life, which they should be fully aware of. In spite of that, it can still be possible for them to have a private life. Firstly, they need tactics and wisdom to handle their relationships with the media and their fans. Secondly and more importantly, celebrities should take care of themselves by acting and behaving well not only in their work but also in their daily life. This is not just because they have prominent profiles and are mostly model-makers, but also because they will definitely fall victim to paparazzi for their gossip affairs. Moreover, a good team, which both handles crises and offers appropriate consultation for celebrities, is a must.
