I don't want to be involved in endless media gossip.

I think the media has got into this Enquirer mentality. Years ago, legitimate press didn't really concern itself with sordid details of people's personal lives. That wasn't the focus.

The photographs show botched plastic surgery, raging eczema, weight gain and horrible clothes for maximum schadenfreude.

I think my life is often more interesting in the tabloids than it is in real life - or less; it depends. But I'm curious. I just try and see what they're going to make up next, and I try to just have fun with it and not take it all too seriously, because otherwise you can't function.
