- The world is aware of our tragedy earlier this year
in the UK and for a few days responded with the
appropriate disgust. Even the Media showed a modicum of
remorse for their part in such a hideous event. However,
true to their nature they couldn't resist the opportunity
to showcase the event and degrade themselves still
further. Within days of Princess Diana's funeral, the
shelves were stacked with tabloids, magazines, journals,
newspapers, hastily thrown together documentaries etc etc
designed to exploit a grieving public and Royal Family.
Some sick people even had the audacity to publish the
more horrific photographs on the Internet. And while the
media had a field day, condemning the paparazzi vultures
who seemed to have played such a vital role in the
accident, they were beleaguring us with as many images of
Diana as they could muster. The sad thing is that the cat
and mouse game between celebrity and paparazzi continues
unabated. I fully support any move by decent people to
end this victimisation. Tabloids are junk, pure and
simple - though they're not the only destination of these
intrusive images. There are plenty of authorised
biographies and autobiographies out there for anyone
wishing to know more about their favourite celebrity; why
stoop to looking at trash. Sorry if this letter is
strongly worded, but that's the way I feel. Hope your
website gets the attention it should.

I would just like to say congratulations on taking a
stand against tabloids, and standing up for what you
believe in. I really admire that. I strongly believe in
freedom of speech, but tabloid "reporters" have crossed
the line between free speech and privacy invasion many
times, and I agree that people need to take a stand
against them to stop this happening. Thank you for
letting me know about your cause, and good luck with
getting more supporters.

The cause you are supporting is a very important one,
as you say people who are in the public eye are human
just like the rest of us, and they require time for
themselves as do the rest of us. I am often disgusted at
the behaviour of the paprazzi. Incidents here in the uk
include a paprazzi photographer secretly photographing
Princess Diana RIP working out at her gym. Why did the
world need to see that? We know what a gym is like, we
kew she went to the gym, did we really have to get those
pictures? And look what happened to her. I am totally
with George Clooney on this, the tabloid press should be
ashamed of themselves, they have their own photographers,
why do they need to use paprazzi pictures? To me that
just puts themselves down. News is about events and
disasters, not who's stayed at who's house last night and
who played basketball in his own back yard. I don't care
about that, I care about Politics, Entertainment EVENTS
not gossip, disasters, wars, famine. These things are
important.
- OK so keep up the good work girls, maybe if you can
change the law over there then the UK will follow suit. I
pray for that day. It won't be an easy fight, we'll come
up against a lot of power and money, but we can and will
win, bacause we are right, and soon everyone will realize
that.

- Enough is enough. I think that it is time that fans
stand up for their favorite celebrities. They have a
right to their privacy.

I really agree with you.

People like George Clooney and Princess Diana are in
the spot light. We watch them on t.v., we read about them
in the news. But things have gone to far! They deserve a
private life too.

We think Mr.Clooney's privacy and his own life
(outside the camera) is a very important thing in a
persons life. We don't want people poking around in our
lives. Why should professional actors like Mr.Clooney and
others like him lives be any different.
