Today's Popbitch - Steven Gerrard

[charlie clown]

Sly dig or justified criticism?

 

Another celebrity with an odd concept of privacy is Steven Gerrard. When we suggested Steven was looking at a new house in Lancashire, his lawyers were very quick to claim Gerrard's privacy was being invaded. So it's surprising to see Steven this week on the front cover of OK! invading his own privacy with a family photo-shoot at his "exclusive Portuguese holiday hideaway". As he recently told footballers' style-bible Icon, "When I want to get away from football with my family and there are people following us with cameras. I feel I deserve my own time with my family too... it annoys me when people don't respect my family's privacy."

[Cobs]

one suspects OK! were invited to do the photo shoot - hence, in this instance, they weren't invading anyone's privacy

 

hth popbitch

[muleskinner]

He doesn't I imagine give out his villa address in OK, whereas the full details of the property were there for all to see in the Popbitch link. Popbitch can't moan about this stuff, they wouldn't exist without celebrity culture.

[Sion]

totally justified

[Guest Snorky]

Celebs complaining about privacy to me is like single women in a club.

 

They want to get chatted up, but only by people they like, hence if they dont like the publication its an invasion of privacy.

 

And for what its worth, no I don't think you can have both ways either.

Who wants to get chatted up by someone they dont like??

[gkmacca]

They're surrounded by agents and managers who are as pompous as they're parasitic. Pure greed. If Faust had been a footballer he'd have sued the devil and won a restraining order against him.

They also surely know their own minds?

Paul Scholes has done a pretty good job of having it both ways.....if thats what you meant.

Thats because no ones interested in the ginger c***

[Fagan]

you cant sell your private life to a magasine like OK or Hello and then demand privacy from the hacks who can get it for free.

 

you never see your jamie carraghers or roy keane's of this world whoring their private lives out to the press and in retrn they never get their private lives, holdays or kids snapped in the papers.

 

i suspect stevie does it for his mrs who probably wants a bit of a profile and to keep up with the other high prfile 'wags'. he also has a bit of an ego himself, but sure who wouldnt if you were captain of the greatest club on the planet!

privacy is absolutely vital and essential to the modern footballer until such time as someone offers a barrowload of cash for it. whereupon it's please buy the latest edition of a vacuous piece of s*** supermarket gossip rag while i moan about people knowing about my private life in jamie redknapp's up-its-own-a*** 'icon' magazine.

 

give me scholes' attitude to this sh*te over gerrard's any day.

I agree to an extent but it doesn't give some gossip driven bulls*** website the right to reveal every aspect of someones life, no matter what they might think. They moan that the people involved play the game for what they can take but they (Popbitch, OK etc) are living off the back of them driven by a ridiculous celebrity obsessed world that they have played no small part in creating.

i agree that as usual it's the consumer who is really at fault for buying the stuff, but if you don't want people to ask the question then don't put your sh*t in the street. gerrard doesn't need ok magazine's money, so it'd be easy enough to do a scholes, have nothing to do with any of them and threaten every one with an enormous lawsuit if they try to bother you.

[Tommy Cockles]

Celebrities (or "footballers" as they used to be known) getting upset about their privacy being invaded, showbiz mags, WAGS, paperazzi, front page, back page, Big Brother, OK, Hello, Goodbye, Whatever.

 

Couldnt care less about any of it.

[Cobs]

with a number of Liverpool players having their homes raided, including Gerrard, you can kinda see why he'd want to keep details of a new home he might be buying private

 

not sure he's screaming 'invasion of privacy' per se

[Kvarme Ate My Food]

Popbitch is for people who'd love to buy Heat, but like to think they're too good for it.
