The only thing boring about this topic is that this is the second thread on it.

While there are certainly a large number of 'celebrities' who do live for the spotlight, there are some singers (Suzanne Vega and Maria Muldaur come easily to mind) and a very large number of actors who hate being public figures. What publicity they do is to promote their work, not themselves. I hate Bush, but I wouldn't write a story with him as either a victim or a villain because running for public office isn't a declaration that you you want to be the subject of either porn stories or jokes on Letterman.

As stated in the other thread, my position is that describing a celebrity is fair, but you should change the names. That way clueless people like me won't know who you're writing about and the cognoscenti will get that smug little thrill from knowing something that I don't.

To answer your question, bill, I think you did the right thing. On some sites there's a 'celeb' story code. You might want to consider suggesting the same thing in the Comments And Suggestions section of the Forum.
