Sadly this entire situation seems to me to be the consequences of getting hooked on the media. It happened to Diana, Boy George and millions of others.
At first you love the attention. You're flattered, amused... you love the pictures and the celebrity... then you start getting annoyed but you are benefitting like mad (where would Pete Doherty be without fame - certainly not selling records) and you become hooked.
And slowly it all gets nasty.
I've seen it time and again. Been there, felt it, loved it, used it, had the backlash... always been well aware of it.
