I was starting to think I was the only person who couldn't care less about the personal habits of complete strangers I've never met and probably never will.
I really don't get this celebrity thing at all. If I followed a stranger home and sifted through their rubbish to find out their secrets, took surreptitious photographs of them while they're out with friends or spied on them while they're on holiday then my interest in them would be viewed with a certain amount of justifiable suspicion. But if a journalist does the dirty work on my behalf and publishes the results then the same level of interest in a stranger is suddenly OK. Weird.

If Sheridan keeps sticking it under my nose, I'm going to judge it. If Sheridan doesn't want to be judged on her behaviour, behave better! She has made herself public property. Nobody is anyone else's property. What is this, the middle ages? The entitlement attitude of 'I pay my ticket fee/TV licence' so I have a right to express my opinion is getting out of hand. Everyone is paid for by everyone else, pretty much, but I don't go around expecting whoever killed the chicken i just ate, drove the train I took or stitched together my shirt to abide by my way of life. The same should hold for anyone in the public eye, they are not ours in any way, shape or form. If they don't break any laws then I don't care, actually even if they do break some. It is certainly in living memory that to be outed in the press as gay could destroy a career and lead to prosecution, let us not forget that. The press have just moved onto other pastures. Yeh but the person who killed your chicken isn't shouting "YEAH I KILLED YOUR CHICKEN YOU PUSSY!" all over Twitter or making a fool of themselves on tv, are they. That's the difference and that's what I mean by public property. Nothing to do with buying tickets.

I just think that it's one thing for Sheridan Smith to be having emotional streaks and behaving in a seemingly unprofessional manner on the internet where everyone can see it (apart from people who weren't following her Twitter account when she locked it and are thus locked out), but it's another thing to be sneery about it. It's the sneeriness that makes me uncomfortable. Discussion, fair enough. Concern, sure, we're all human. Sneeriness? Nah, that's just a little too far for me.

Always thought Anthony made the right decision choosing Saskia over Emma
