Gawker Stalker Celeb Sighting Map Controversy
You may have heard this on the news in recent days. It made CNN and took off to other media outlets since then. Celebrity Gossip site Gawker.com launched a service where the public can report on celebrity sightings and have them posted on the web site along with a map to help fans (or stalkers) find the location of the celeb. Celebs, their reps, the media, and most of the general public that was polled by the media say this crosses the line as too much of an invasion of privacy. I haven't made up my mind yet, except that I think it is "marketing genius" on Gawker's part.

I too agree, Gawking in this case can and will become obsessive to the people involved. They will end up becoming more like stalkers

"At a loss"
I just don't get it. I guess growing up in Chicago I saw so many celebs and hung out at the same clubs that it never entered my mind to be star struck. Then again I think I'm just as grand as they are so
