Someone in the public limelight can publish whatever they want on their own website - leaving out what they want to leave out and not having their words edited for gross misinterpretation (and therefore greater entertainment value). But as soon as they give an interview to "traditional media" they get no control whatsoever over how their words or edited or the context in which they are placed - or even whether or not the dirt wad reported decides to publish their real name.
Really, if you were a public star, which route would you take if you were trying to get publicity. Personally, I would tell any reported who isn't going to give me final edit to go take a hike.
