Actually, I don't think it has anything to do with being envious... I do hate that "you're just jealous" mentality. It has to do with the fact that these people SELL their lives to the media, they make shed-loads of money out of it, they become role models to young people and then they think they can flout all the rules and remain anonymous. I expect Ryan Giggs thought that when he shagged Imogen... but is there anyone alive that doesn't know it was him? People are notoriously bad at keeping juicy secrets.

Don't use the press to enhance your image, further your career and add to your bank balance, and then bleat on about privacy when they catch you with your trousers down.

I think it does have to do with money considering his posts about the rich later on but I guess you haven't read that far yet.

You're tarring everyone with the same brush and it's a bit stupid to do so, Not all celebrities use the media in how they describe it. Not all of them choose to be at the mercy of the paparazzi so why deny them the right to a private life just because they earn more money then the rest of us, they're still human and they are still prone to mistakes. We don't get our dirty secrets revealed on a national scale if we make it a mistake so why is it okay for their privacy to go out the window just because of their income?

The whole 'Role Model' thing is just a poor excuse for bad parents to pass the buck with. Like any well raised and adjusted child would see Tiger Woods and think 'One day I'll cheat like that because anything Tiger Woods does is worth emulating!'

Like I said before though, not everyone is Katie Price,

What's stupid is for high court judges to impose a law that has not passed through Parliament. That's what's stupid. If they are allowed to do this, what will they do next? There is a protocol that is not being followed.

We differ here... you think people should be allowed to do whatever they like and have their tracks covered by a judge who's making it up as he goes along for the benefit of the rich and shameless. I disagree.

well footballers and sportstars become famous as a result of being good at what they do. So its not like they've sought fame as such. And they don't ask to be role models.

If it is Ryan Giggs then he's an absolute moron for even going near a known tabloid tramp. But the protection could actually be more for his wife and family. His wife and the world already know if its him so its not getting him off the hook. Just sparing us a load of sordid details with names attached.
