Unfortunately, they are not allowed to do this even in death. Circumstances as they are however, my prayers are with the Kennedy and Bessete family's as they are forced to relieve footage of a very painful and tragic time if they decide to turn on their television.

I agree. When I was little, I always wanted to grow up and become famous - but really when you are famous, is there any room at all to just breathe one day and do whatever you want??? I just feel so sad for those who are constantly bugged by the media to the point where every single move is recorded. Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy constantly remarked of how the media attetention was just too much sometimes.
You know, two Japanese players in the MLB, Ichiro and Sasaki, have just decided recently to BOYCOTT the Japanese Media b/c the paparazzi had caused SO much trouble - Ichiro almost crashed his car one night in front of his house b/c all those photographers were snapping away!!!! Those reporters even stalked him to his house! Gosh when do ppl finally get the picture...do things like Princess Di's incident have to happen to show how detrimental the paparazzi is?

However, it is also the media who brought John-John's fame it seems - made him seem like such a classy man, not to mention handsome!!! It's just so sad that his life and others' ended so abruptly
