I see your point and I agree that actors suffer too much harrasment from the media. What happened to Maggie was pretty horrible. However, on the other hand they need that attention to get roles. Talent is not enough. Popularity plays a big part in it. The more popular they are, the more likely they'll be considered for movie roles. That's the reason why talentless whores like Paris Hilton get to act in movies. And that's also why sometimes they smile to the paps cameras. And Jake knows that. And compared to the amount of attention other actors get, his life is pretty private. I wouldn't worry about him. He knows how to handle unwanted attention from the media.

  Well yet again, I find myself in the minority on an issue here...I personally love Jake, as much as any of you.. I dont wish to see one little hair on his beautiful, chinny chin chin harmed...However having said that.  I wish to say, I am very much against censorship...I dont like to be told, what i can see, or what i can say...
I am of the firm  belief, that it is a slippery slope to the voice of the people, being styffled.
   I dont and cant personally take part in anything that would help that to happen...
   I do however believe they should have reasonable guidelines as to how to conduct theselves...A distance of 6 ft or more. and no going onto the private property, or helicopter photos into back yards, etc....
   I have had this discussion before. With people on this forum.  And as much as I
hate to see this lovely man hounded by this behavior...I am afraid he has to deal in what ever way he needs to do...Be it a body guard, or whatever....But I do not feel that censorship is any way to handle that...  So I will respectfully decline to
do that...

I don't think asking someone to stop taking/posting photos that are obviously an invasion of someone's privacy is censorship.  I agree with you, though, that telling people what they should and shouldn't look at on the internet is a form of censorship.

While I'm sure Jake is a big boy and can handle these assholes just fine, it pains me to see any of these folks who obviously don't want it being hounded by them.  And I disagree that that's part of his job.  Good for him for generally being quite gracious about it all, but I sure as hell wouldn't be if I were him.

I'll say it again - I believe that people like him owe us NOTHING but the best performance they can give at any given time that they are in some way purposely performing for us or publicizing a performance.  I don't believe giving up the personal freedoms the rest of us enjoy should be a price they have to pay for being famous.  Yes, they get paid a lot, but so do neurosurgeons and some types of attorneys - because people are willing to pay them a lot for their talents and skills.  Doesn't mean they owe us their souls.
