A few days ago, I came across an article on how a certain female blogger was voted as the "hottest" blogger, and caught the eye of a talent agent who wanted to groom her into a star. All of a sudden, she started receiving hate mail, being accused of going for plastic surgery, being put down by many people (among those her so-called "friends") and undesirable pictures started circulating around the web.
Do people really have nothing better to do? So what if someone makes news? It does not give anyone any right to pry into another person's private affairs and invade someone's privacy. Imagine if you are the one. Would you like it? Those actions would hurt not only the victim, but also the victim's parents.
Sometimes I wonder why people cannot just mind their own business. It is enough that strangers start circulating "untruths" (whether truth or untruth is actually nothing to do with anyone as it is her business), but her friends put her down as well? Is it because when someone they know become famous, others just start being jealous and do whatever they can to bring the person down?
This was what happened to the Miss Singapore-Universe Pageant a few years back. After the winners were announced, all of a sudden, there was an influx of comments remarking that certain girls should not win as they could not speak good English, or they were not even good-looking, or that they could not answer questions well. If these people think they could do better, then why did they not take part in the pageant instead of remarking so much?
Perhaps the "sour grapes" nature is abundant in every one. If one cannot get something, he / she will try to bring down the person who manages to achieve what he / she cannot achieve. But people are different. There will always be people with better abilities than oneself. Rather than comparing, why not be satisfied with what one has and tries to achieve better for oneself?

I did find it kinda weird.. the way they 'dig up' all those information.
It is very close to the modus operandi of paparazzis and stalkers.
So what if she had cosmetic surgery? I am personally averse to having a surgery of any kind done on me (the Dentist is bad enough...). It takes some courage to opt for a surgery.
Yes I agree. Wonder how people manage to "dig out" everything anyway, and what she does to herself is essentially her business.
