    Well, miss O'Connor wants people to stop taking pot shots at her and making fun of her. In fact, she took out a full page ad in the Irish Examiner newspaper asking people to stop lashing out at her, ridiculing her , calling her names and calling her mad. She said"Please, I just want to be a little old lady now, and not be controversial."

    It seems to me take people can't always run away from their past.

    Should people be left alone who are or once were stars? Being that they are or were in the public eye, does that mean that they are open game?

    I think it comes down to Michael Jackson's song Tabloid Junkie:


    Written and composed by michael jackson, james harris iii and terry lewis.
    Produced by michael jackson, jimmy jam & terry lewis.


    Speculate to break the one you hate
    Circulate the lie you confiscate
    Assassinate and mutilate
    As the hounding media in hysteria
    Who’s the next for you to resurrect
    Jfk exposed the cia
    Truth be told the grassy knoll
    As the blackmail story in all your glory

    It’s slander
    You say it’s not a sword
    But with your pen you torture men
    You’d crucify the lord
    And you don’t have to read it, read it
    And you don’t have to eat it, eat it
    To buy it is to feed it, feed it
    So why do we keep foolin’ ourselves

    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the tv screen
    Don’t make it factual
    Though everybody wants to read all about it
    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the tv screen
    Don’t make it factual, actual
    They say he’s homosexual

    In the hood
    Frame him if you could
    Shoot to kill
    To blame him if you will
    If he dies sympathize
    Such false witnesses
    Damn self righteousness
    In the black
    Stab me in the back
    In the face
    To lie and shame the race
    Heroine and marilyn
    As the headline stories of
    All your glory

    It’s slander
    With the words you use
    You’re a parasite in black and white
    Do anything for news
    And you don’t go and buy it, buy it
    And they won’t glorify it, ’fy it
    To read it sanctifies it, ’fies it
    Then why do we keep foolin’ ourselves

    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the tv screen
    Don’t make it factual
    Everybody wants to read all about it
    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the tv screen
    Don’t make it factual
    See, but everybody wants to believe all about it

    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the tv screen
    Don’t make it factual
    See, but everybody wants to believe all about it
    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the tv screen
    Don’t make it factual, actual
    She’s blonde and she’s bisexual

    Scandal
    With the words you use
    You’re a parasite in black and white
    Do anything for news
    And you don’t go and buy it, buy it
    And they won’t glorify it, ’fy it
    To read it sanctifies it, ’fies it
    Why do we keep foolin’ ourselves
    Slander
    You say it’s not a sin
    But with your pen you torture men
    Then why do we keep foolin’ ourselves

    Just because you read it in a magazine
    Or see it on the tv screen
    Don’t make it factual
    Though everybody wants to read all about it
    Just because you read it in a magazine

    You’re so damn disrespectable

    Actually, yes, according to United States law. They're awarded considerably less privacy rights under law than that of a "non-status" civilian. I'm not so certain what contingency is involved for those who are no longer gleaming in the limelight, but I assume that this law applies on a basis of full life-span. The laws are certainly different in European countries, but I'm not familiar with those. There is also a bit of a dichotomy in the American libel and slander laws as they pertain to people of status. Instead of proving that an individual, newspaper/magazine, television show etc. has stated or published provably false information about them, a person of status has to actually prove that the false information effected negatively their career and/or reputation. This is a pretty crazy and mixed up country, no?

    Either way, I think that beyond the libel put out everyday by greedy, heartless magazines, everything else is just in good-fun. I mean, a joke on Saturday Night Live is fine, and making fun of her 'mistake' on the Tim Robbins episode is fine, but saying something that is completely false about her, in my opinion, should be considered obviously cruel and senseless as well as illegal, which , essentially, it is not.

    I didn't know either of those things and would have rather not known those things. Either way, does the fact that she's weirder than the norm make it less cruel to constantly ridicule her? No, I don't think so.
