Oh, really?
In my salbutamol induced haze yesterday, I asked hubby to click the TV over to channel 2, as it was time for "The Buzz". I've missed most of the it but I still found watching that show very amusing.
One of the "stories" they had (I purposely put in the quotation marks as I believe they're really not stories but meaningless and badly researched snippets or more often than not, a PR tactic so haphazardly dressed up as a story) was blaring with this headline - "Aktor, may ilalantad na tungkol sa kanyang personal na buhay!" Ok, that made the salbutamol buzz go away.
When was it a requirement to reveal something about your personal life? Admittedly, I'm addicted to people.com and gawker.com - not because I want to see the personal lives of these celebrities but because I want to see them in their most unguarded and horrible, unmade up moments. For a woman with an insecurity issue the size of Russia, this makes me feel better. But I digress, the point is, it is not the responsibility nor the obligation of these celebrities to share their personal lives! I know the actor being talked about in this "story". He's really as private as you could imagine. He's just a regular guy with an irregular job.
Before you accuse me of trying to side with this guy, let me get one thing straight. This goes for everyone. We can have jobs in the office as a pencil pusher or as a manager or someone who pokes into animal's anuses and still have privacy! What makes us so different from them? Privacy is privacy. If you were given an opportunity to know something that's considered private by a person, feel privileged. Sharing private thoughts and experiences should be done with someone you know personally. It requires trust and honesty. How can the public believe that these celebrities are truly sharing something private? "Oh, I'm sharing something quasi private with you. It's not really private, sort of an open secret"
And what the bloody hell is an open secret? A secret that everyone knows? Then that's not a secret, it's called public knowledge.
