Would you agree, talented and successful individuals who're in the public eye, have been diluted of their talent/worth, had their whole personal life in the public eye and subsequently not allowing their talent to be at the forefront of why they should be known?

I know nearly everyone have bought into the whole Twitter, Facebook, 'in the know' / 'insider' magazines and they've been around years, but they're completely demoralising a talented person! Or they're over-marketing a 'face celebrity' who has no talent!

The media are the only ones to blame.

We don't need to know that Katie Price is conning us all with another crappy 'money making' product, or that Paris Hilton has "stepped" out of her car, again, or needing photos of Lindsay Lohan off her head on drugs!

It's know in our culture to know everything about a celebrity, but we really don't need too!!

Your views.
It's all to make money, but in the long-run they're messing with real lives?

Charlie Sheen; do we really need to know what going on in his life? No we don't! I'm sure loads of guys would like to know which colour underwear Kate Middleton has got on, but we're not going to find out, and it's not are need to know!

Millions of people around the world take illegal drugs, but are TV/radio stations or magazines going to advertise them? No! lol

It's all mindless and meaningless crap, which we don't need to know about!
Yes, we don't need to know; are peoples lives so dull and boring that they have to entertain themselves with this type of media? Take a look at the typical normal area on a magazine shelf in a store, they all nearly have the same content in them (one way or another) and it's all rubbish which isn't going to benefit someone in their life! People who buy them, really need to get a life!

Yes, the consumer is the main part, but the media should take a look for a second and realise what they making money from, embarrassing peoples lives.
