I hope not too. *crosses fingers*

I completely get what you're saying about celebrities reading RPF; I damn sure would if I were a celebrity. And I also agree with you that I would never want to hurt their feelings in any way.

I think where we differ is that I can't imagine it making them feel bad. Having never been famous, I suppose I am speaking with no evidence, but I don't think finding RPF about myself of the kind I've seen online would bother or upset me. It would upset me if my coworkers made up a rumor about me and spread it at work as if it were true. Or if the people I went to school with wrote a libelous story to put in the newsletter. Or even as a celebrity if a magazine like Star wrote something false about me and published it, because these are all scenarios in which the assumption is that the story is *true*. In RFP, nobody except really insane people who are probably also behaving insanely in other ways that we can't see on the internet believes that these stories are real. In fact, most of the fics have some sort of disclaimer on them about how they aren't real.

I don't think that just because you're famous you owe the public details about your personal life or that you become somehow public property. But I do think that if you accept and embrace celebrity, you also must accept that people will be interested in you and your life in ways that they never would have been if you were the manager of GNC. And I kinda don't know where I'm going with that last.
