Seeing someone famous doesn't really phase me, but does the public have a right to their lives? YES. (I'm not talking about stalkers, but if someone asks you to sign an autograph, unless it is a really bad time, you should probably do it.) So in the Flair instance, the reason why people shouldn't be asking for an autograph is out of respect to the Children, not Flair himself.

They chose the profession knowing full well the fame it entails, people stopping them on the street, the perks, the money, and everything else that goes with it.

The only people I actually feel bad for are the child stars or the children of stars, the ones that did not have the choice of were their lives where going.
