| In a perfect world, we could all do pretty much as we like, Patty, with little or no repercussions, especially if we are not hurting anyone else. However, this is far from a perfect world and celebrities do need to be more aware than the average person that anything they do in public - smooching, arguing, whatever - is going to wind up being fodder for the tabloid machine. Whether this is right or wrong or whatever rights we all may or may not have is beyond the point - this is simply the way it is.
Secondly, I doubt that all that many people know who Diane is in this country and Josh is perhaps little more than a celebrity blip in France - but Paris is her home, which makes her a celebrity there and she is divorcing someone who is more than a blip on the radar in France. I don't for one minute think the Paps were after Josh in Paris, Diane was the most likely target and Josh, by virtue of their new found relationship, just happened to be there.
Do I personally care if they kiss in public - not particularly. My only point was that if celebrities want to stay below the public radar, they probably shouldn't walk right into the fray. And if they truly don't care who knows that they are a couple, if they are moving into the commitment phase, then in the end, none of it matters, anyway, because we'll be seeing a lot more of them together in the future... If not, if this is only a passing fancy for them both, then it really doesn't matter, either, because in a month's time, Paris will only be a fading memory and the Paps will have moved on to their next vict, er, targets. __________________ "I am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship."
