Celebrities and the Media

Katy

`Hay,| `Jamie,| have you heard about this?||

J ames

What?||

Katy

You know Janice Jones,| the film star?|| Well,|
photographers are following her all the time.|| Isnt it
terrible?||

J ames

Personally,| I think thats her problem.|| I mean,| it seems to
me| that if you want to be famous,| you have to accept all the
press| and the media.||

Katy

I completely disagree.|| Everyones got a right to some
privacy,| dont you think?||

J ames

Thats true,| but if you sell your stories to the press,| you cant
complain much.||

Katy

Im afraid youre wrong.|| Nobodys got the right to follow
people| everywhere.|| I mean,| there are photographers
everywhere,| outside her house.|| Its awful.|| Just because
shes got married| for the third time.||

J ames

You may be right,| but I think she likes all the attention| all
the newspaper articles| and TV programmes.||

Katy

Well,| in my opinion,| this shows the media is getting worse|
and worse.|| I mean,| look at all these awful American chat
shows on TV.|| Theyre so bad.||

J ames

I agree.|| Youre right,| theres a lot of rubbish on
nowadays.||

Katy

I think they should control what goes on TV.|| Theres too
much violence and sex,| all those terrible action films,| and
even adverts.||

J ames

I totally agree.|| Its not very nice.|| But| people seem to
want that kind of thing.|| Personally,| Im against| too much
control.||

Katy

Im afraid I cant agree with you.|| Im in favour of some
kind of control.|| I think its necessary| to protect children.||

J ames Mm,| I dont agree.|| How can you stop||
