The Press
The relationship between the Press and various celebrities and other influential people seems to have never been very good. Sensationalism is often the biggest seller, and of course, the press will be the first to offer it. Nobody can be perfect, even the most perfect-seeming people, and many feed off their flaws to make themselves feel better. Whether it's Lady Diana (who, fleeing from the paprazzi, got in a car crash and died), or even as far back as Oscar Wilde, the hounding of the Press is astounding. Recently, it came out that News of the World hacked the phones of many victims and deleted information from them, and there is currently a lawsuit going on between Gordon Brown and The Sun. The Sun released the fact the Brown's son has cystic fibrosis, and they claimed that the Browns had given them permission to run the story, when they had done no such thing. It just goes to show that the magazines will invade anyone's privacy, and often print bald-faced lies (how many times is Jennifer Aniston declared pregnant a year?) just to get a story to entertain the credible masses.
