Afternoon Piss: Leave Robert Downey Jr. Alone!

What's with the media tracking down a celeb's private attempts at getting his crap together? It's really a matter of taste and respect, something the media rarely finds itself capable of distinguishing, myself included, at times.

Robert Downey Jr., once Palm Spring's and Malibu's most darling and deranged addict, has been doing his best to remain clean and sober these past few years—via an anonymous organization that helps such desires.

What business is it of the media's to think suddenly the word anonymous applies to everyone but them? Like they've got a private pass into every orifice and corner of a public figure's life just because they're the press? That's bulls--t, and nobody more than Lindsay Lohan has helped create the false impression that the media has any place at anonymous gatherings—what with Lohan dangling her sobriety chips for the cameras and practically holding press conferences there. And all while other members who hold anonymity sacred walk by! Jeez, L.L., you must be high or something.

No wonder reporters track down celebrities trying to get it together, with loser antics like Lohan's all over the place. Still doesn't make it right.

Leave Downey Jr. alone, everybody.
