of what, Coogan, he's less funny than Moyles!

He's not my cup of tea as a comedian, but he's been very successful in acting roles as well, which means he's obviously more than just a stand up.

Away from his work, he's always seemed quite erudite when I've seen him interviewed, and doesn't strike me as a media whore at all. Don't really know what you're on about with this one.

This.

Steve Coofans day job may mean he's in the public eye but everyone is entitled to a private life..... As people have said he doesn't whore himself out to the media.

As for Hugh Grant, can't say I particularly like him but the hounding of the mother of his child was pretty disgusting.

I rather liked Piers Morgan's tweet....[iI do hope Nelson Mandela was watching Hugh Grant today, so he now understands what real persecution is all about.[/i

What sort of person follows Piers Morgan on twitter?

Piers Morgan is a tossbag. What is he trying to say? That because Mandella was imprisoned for several years, Hugh Grant should just quietly accept the behaviour of certain less savoury elements of the British press?

If a rulebook is needed after this enquiry then they could do worse than to go to Katie Price and ask her to write it, if anyone knows how to whore themselves to the media whilst applying double standards to how much access they can have to a disabled son, then its her.

The rules will change from week to week of course dependant on how many womens trash mags you've managed to blag your way onto.

Of which, Morgan is a prime example

Quite. I don't know how the hell he managed to get on the telly. I'd rather watch a pile of recently severed puppies' heads decompose than sit through an hour of his unbearable smugness.

Coogan is a considerable way from a favourite of mine too – as is Hugh Grant. Or Max Mosely, for that matter.

But as you say, there is a great deal of difference between seeking the attention of the media at all times and having a career that puts you in the spotlight.

Aside from this particular topic - or alongside it - who defines "in the public interest" and how do you define it in such a way that it both protects privacy but allows for those items which are in the public interest to be reported?
