Is it just me or can media not leave a good thing alone? It seems as though the media can not solely report on a fortunate story but instead must couple it with something negative or tragic. Sandra's fortune was seemingly not enough for the media that more had to be dredged up. That or her husband and the insider sources saw her success at the Oscars as an outlet for them to receive publicity or present tabloids with lucrative and prevalent stories. Shouldn't a recent recognition in the Oscars be one of the happiest points in Bullock's life? I recognize that bad or shocking news sells more but sometimes good news has its success as well. Must all good press be followed with bad or does success as a celebrity come with inevitable misfortune?

I completely agree with Adrienne. When I saw the tabloid news about Bullock's husband, I was a little discontent how rampant it was, considering it was immediately after she was honored at the Academy Awards.
Yes, I understand that the media needs to earn a living too and it is their job to attract to public by sensational news. However, i wish the media was more understanding and considerate toward celebrities and their privacy.
The media has truly been upsetting me lately. I was so excited for Sandra when she won her Oscar, and then all the stories about her husband's alleged affair started surfacing and I could only hope that they were false...Turns out they weren't, I guess. It has to be hard enough for anyone to have to deal with all of these issues, let alone have it all be covered by the media, who can be so incredibly insensitive. My heart goes out to Sandra and all the other celebrities out there who just can't get a break. I think it's time for the media to back off, already.
I agree with everything everyone has said. There are just some things that don't need to be broadcast all over the nation. I'm not going to lie...it does draw me in, and I do tend to read the tabloids when in line at the store or something. However, I do feel so sorry for the poor people who can't get a break.
I wish the press would leave Sandra alone. She didn't even have the opportunity to truly enjoy her shining moment due to all the bad press which fortunately immediately followed after her Oscar winning. I feel terrible for celebrities when this happens, but there's not much anyone can do. Media will continue to feed on bad press because it is what draws people in.
I agree with Olivia. I think they should leave her alone. Sure, bad news does sell more, but it would be awful to have your own personal life in the tabloids.
