He's never been one (again, as far as I know) for giving a 'story' to the media on a daily basis, a la Madonna, Lady Gaga etc
He's simply "doing his job", and is famous as a consequence. His private life should not be invaded. Good luck Coogan, in getting justice for yourself

as much as hacking is despicable, the self righteous testemony of Coogan and Grant leaves a bad taste.
Steve Coofans day job may mean he's in the public eye but everyone is entitled to a private life..... As people have said he doesn't whore himself out to the media.
As for Hugh Grant, can't say I particularly like him but the hounding of the mother of his child was pretty disgusting.

I rather liked Piers Morgan's tweet....I do hope Nelson Mandela was watching Hugh Grant today, so he now understands what real persecution is all about.

What sort of person follows Piers Morgan on twitter?

Who the hell cares what Piers(naugthy! )morgan thinks?
Back to the topic. People in the public eye are generally entitled to privacy. Only when they consent to their private lives being publicised or when it is in the public interest (as opposed to "the public might be titillated") should their privacy be intruded upon. It's actually very simple.
Freedom without Socialism is privilege and injustice. Socialism without freedom is slavery and brutality.

Piers Morgan is a tossbag. What is he trying to say? That because Mandella was imprisoned for several years, Hugh Grant should just quietly accept the behaviour of certain less savoury elements of the British press?

If a rulebook is needed after this enquiry then they could do worse than to go to Katie Price and ask her to write it, if anyone knows how to whore themselves to the media whilst applying double standards to how much access they can have to a disabled son, then its her.
The rules will change from week to week of course dependant on how many womens trash mags you've managed to blag your way onto.

Of which, Morgan is a prime example
