I don't think this is very fair. Many, many stars choose to sell rights to their wedding pictures because they know that the paparazzi will get the pictures one way or another, and if they sell them, at least they have a degree of control over the pictures and the media is going to use less intrusive methods to get them. Allowing the media to be involved in the wedding means that it's much less likely the ceremony is going to be ruined by some overzealous reporter. I don't think that's the issue here.
I agree with the assessments that our culture is sickeningly celebrity-obsessed. I can't even imagine why people buy US Weekly, to be honest. The amount of worship that people heap on stars is pretty disgusting, and I definitely agree that the media goes too far in obtaining celebrity gossip. That said, tough luck. You decide to become a celebrity, that's part of the deal. Nobody goes into this not knowing what they're getting into, and if Britney or Brad want to live low-profile lives, they can just stop putting out albums and movies and retire.
