Is It Really Our Business?

This whole Tiger Woods fiasco has got me thinking, is what goes on in a celebritie's personal life really any of the public's business? My answer is yes, if it involves the police or if there are witnesses to a situation. Celebrities, whether they are athletes, entertainers or anybody who puts themselves in front of the limelight are subject to intrusion. It is just the way it is. People are fascinated with fame, they want to know what is going on and when a usually well-mannered, international star comes up in a police report, people are going to ask questions.
Police reports are public information, no matter who the individual is. While Tiger Woods doesn't have to comment on what really happened, he has to understand that people are going to talk, and unless he sets the record straight, rumors are going to fly. His situation is interesting. What was he doing leaving his house in the middle of the night? Why did his wife bash out the back window? How did he have cuts on his face? The information that is out there is sketchy, leaving many holes that only Tiger Woods can answer. He left a message on his website but he doesn't address any of the questions that the public wants answered. Does he really think that just because he wants this matter to stay private, that the rumors are going to stop? They will not stop until he clears up the situation and hiding from the public, and the police for that matter, only makes the situation worse.
