Shopper,
Where on earth did you read that I wished Tom and Katie Holmes' marriage to fail? I've never, ever said that! I HAVE stated that I wish them all the best happiness in the world and that I truly hope their marriage is a successful and happy one. Please re-read my posts...unless there's a typo in there, then you've totally mis-read my posts.
And No, I do not like gossip. I have always hated it. And just because someone is a celebrity does NOT automatically mean that they should have to put their lives up for public review. I have a cousin in the movie industry and I'm quite certain that he, too, would not welcome unfounded print in the media detailing his private life for all to see.
There definitely IS a fine line when you're in this type business between embracing your public, who supports those in this business, and wanting to have some sort of privacy in your life kept to yourself and out of the prying eyes of the public.
There used to be a day when the paparazzi weren't so intrusive. Nowadays, anything and everything goes. It's just my opinion, but I don't believe that just because someone, ANYONE, is a high profile personality, should automatically mean that your private life is anyone's for the guessing.
I don't blame some celebrities one iota for taking some of these gossipy smear campaigns to task and suing the daylights out of them. Greed and money are usually the two persuasions which keep the shutterbugs clicking.
That's why I've always said that I'd love the money, but would hate the fame. I love the fact that I can go anywhere I please and the fact that I don't have to contend with a camera lens in my face 24/7. My Gawd...if I couldn't go on a family vacation without someone critiquing my swimsuit, choice of haircut, or what I chose to put on my baby, I don't know what I'd do.
I guess I'd learn to develop a really thick skin...you have to in that business. But I wouldn't want it...not for all the money in the world.
My mother used to say if you can't say anything nice about someone, then don't say anything at all. JMO, but I wholeheartedly agree. And that's my :twocents:.
So, AGAIN...I wish Tom and Katie nothing but the best. I hope she has lots and lots more babies and I hope they have a wonderful life. They deserve it.
