Yet, somehow, we (or at least the media) assume we somehow have the right to see what is happening in their private life. This has happened a lot to George Micheal, and I think it's possibly this he is complaining about.
The thing is though, that these people can't have it both ways - they want to be the media's best friend when it suits them, and then they want nothing to do with them when it's no longer what they want - sadly - if you live in the public eye, rightly or wrongly the public owns you.
