Privacy Vs Secrets

I was reading an article in Life! today regarding Owen Wilson. He committed suicide. Or rather that was what the article states. I happened to come across New Paper in the afternoon. Top header was written Owen Wilson into depression or committed suicide over ex-flame Kate Hudson & new beau.

Nosy you would say. In Life!, Owen said, (hereby i quote) "I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time."

Private.

This word hits me.

As celebrity, there's no privacy so talk about. Everyone want a piece of you. Your secrets, your juice are so important to everyone is the journalism world. When Christopher Lee got out of jail, everyone was swarming around him for latest juices. Reporters stalked Fann Wong outside her house hoping to get some inside information. Readers want to know, they'll claim.

But if they do not provide with the news, will the readers know about it? If they do not keep putting, "Exclusive!" on the front page of tabloid magazines people will still buy them. Just that there'll be no extra juice. Just normal juice.

Being a celebrity, there's nothing call secrets. The more popular you are, the more people want to know about you. whether it is true or not, readers do not care. Because if you can publish in the papers, magazines, most readers will believe that there will be truths to it. Or how else will you be able to publish rite?

I feel that being a person without secrets is something very terrible. When i was in primary school, i had this very good friend of mine. Every now and den she'll ask me to help her keep secrets. Well, when you were a kid, keeping secrets make you feel important. When you come to think of it now, i don't think they are really secrets.

From what i know, Hamster and Guinea Pig do not have secrets.
