"Tabloids" are everywhere, especially in America and Britain. Most of these so called news are either fabricated and sensationalistic. However, none of these reporters should be arrested for reporting celebrity news. In this particular case, it involves black-mail and extortion. As a result, it is beyond the realm of journalism, and into criminal behavior. The latter should be fully prosecuted.
