I have mixed emotions here. If it's your life's work to be a spectacle and you're good at it, why should you be surprised or disappointed when you are treated as one? At the same time, doesn't everyone have a right to be left alone, even in public?
The bad thing is that public adornment often becomes dangerous when unstable individuals begin stalking, etc.

Not legitimately, when you consider how easy it is to not be famous.
The very definition of famous is that the public knows of you and wants to follow your career and life, so expecting to keep one's "privacy" while pursuing fame is a ridiculous contradiction in terms. If you don't want people reporting on your life, taking pictures, and spreading gossip about you, then don't be famous. Don't star in that movie, sign that big record contract, or go on all those talk shows. People will forget about you almost immediately, and you can go back to having a private life. But as long as you're acting like someone who wants to be famous, you're ours.

Can you imagine how rough it must be on celebrities self-esteem and self-awareness to be constantly critiqued and expected to meet everyones expectations? I think it takes a strong individual to survive the lime light in tact.

Yes. Usually I'm OK with it but at times it can be rough, like when I need some personal space.
