When it comes to celebs, you can argue about the meaning of words like "invade" and "privacy," but stealing someone's au naturel pix - yeah, that's an invasion of privacy. Reuters says:

She's right. But the point is spoiled by all the celebs who have a much more elastic definition of personal privacy - it's not the nude photos they object to, it's the leaked ones - and so the ones who spend all their time hopping up and down shouting LOOK AT ME leads people to assume that all celebs should share everything all the time, and we're entitled, because we're fans, and if they don't, well, what's so special about them?

Interesting use of "seiged" - most people would say "beseiged." Or most celebs would say "like, annoyed."
