Celebrities And The Media

According to an item over at Rainbow Network, The Sun newspaper is reporting that Stephen Gately and his partner Andrew Cowles have been involved in a fight outside the London restaurant, The Ivy.

All couples have arguments and it’s sad that such a moment is deemed newsworthy. Stephen (who was Man of the Moment in September) posted an item on his message board with his version of the events, “Andy and I are absolutely fine and there is nothing at all to be concerned about” [Source].

Celebrities fight back! The power of the web to put their side of the story is fantastic and exactly what they should be using the web for. Unfortunately, the people who run Stephen’s message board slightly spoiled it with, “This subject is now closed on this board. Whilst there will no doubt be more articles over the coming days relating to this we will not be posting any more about it unless Stephen decides to do any further interviews” [Source]. Sadly, that won’t make the story go away.

On this day…
