The Things Money Can't Buy

During the morning routine I caught the headlines on GMTV this morning. A 30 second clip of David Beckham arriving at an airport to fly home to the UK because his Dad is seriously ill in hospital. I get cross at stuff like this. The news reporter commented on the Beckham' was wearing sunglasses' along with the suggestion he'd been crying as the camera followed him on the airport concourse. What on earth to these reporters want from this man ? Leave him alone, this is private it has absolutely nothing to do with you or me.

The fact Beckham can kick a football with precision from the halfway line to the the back of the net doesn't mean you own him. Sometimes I wonder how those in the spotlight (I'm not keen to use the word celebrity) actually keep it together. The constant invasion of privacy, I realise that's the price they pay for doing what they do, but what a way to live.

Off my soapbox.
