celebrity privacy

Star's personal boundaries

Celebrity privacy is the right of famous people to keep aspects of their lives from public scrutiny, or the contested boundary between public interest and personal space.

The phrase often appears in debates about paparazzi, tabloids, and social media: Celebrity privacy is increasingly difficult to protect in the age of smartphones.

It can sound like an oxymoron—fame and privacy exist in tension by definition.
