What do you expect from someone working on behalf of the owner of Fox News?
we live in an age where there is no privacy whether you're a celebrity or not.
They chose a life in the public eye, and they even feed of the fame and exosure the paparazzi pics give them, and that's why these people won't be left alone!
This is sad. I don't understand why these people can't be left alone just like the rest of us. They are mortals too.
