It's wrong to hound people I'd say. Especially when people are trying to holiday. They don't seem to understand the word holiday means to take a break from their 'normal' life. Normal to them being hounded by the press/papparazi.
However, some of the blame filters back to the general public. If the public didn't watch 'gossip' TV, or buy gossip magazines, then there would be no call for the latest 'scoop'.
One has to wonder though, whether we're force fed it all. Take for example a 'headline' on GMTV today about Madonna. In all that's happening in the world, how somebody in the office justified that as the absolute top story of the morning, I have no idea. But then GMTV is less than quality programming it has to be said.
