Jon Voight pleading for Angelina Jolie to reconcile with him, might be embarrassing to him, or her, or a general reader. But it's widely disseminated and we should be in the business of suppressing that information, acting as moral judges for the rest of the world.
But these people have essentially sought out fame, and it's far less unreasonable that at least some details of their lives be in the public domain. They must have known that that was going to happen when they became actresses, and accepted their various roles.
When people are only victims of some mischance, then the argument is, it seems to me, and BLP agrees, that some presumption of privacy and restriction of information ought to be apply, and even if others aren't doing so.
