Professor Barnes’ Outrageous Invasions: Celebrities’ Private Lives, Media, and the Law examines the increasing tension between the right to privacy and free speech as it relates to celebrities – such as Michael Jackson and John Lennon – whose private lives are commonly invaded by the paparazzi.

Professor Barnes’ book makes the case that the right to free speech is too often twisted into a device to strip and expose individuals.

"This well-paced book offers a penetrating and provocative analysis of the modern clash between paparazzi and privacy. In a culture increasingly saturated with images of the intimate lives of celebrities and ordinary people, Barnes presses a spirited argument that we should look away. Barnes’ thesis is sure to be controversial and makes for fascinating reading for anyone interested in privacy, celebrity, and the changing nature of journalism."
