I do not believe celebrities of any kind owe us anything about their personal lives - health or otherwise. This article is very timely since it was just today that Madonna was all over the news being in the ICU with a bacterial infection (sounds like sepsis to me!).
However, I love seeing celebrities and rich athletes utilizing their money for the community at large. For example, Barbra Streisand has contributed much of her time and finances to build a cardiac wing at Cedar Sinai Hospital. And Derek Hough (of Dancing with the Stars fame) was recently interviewed about his work with migraine sufferers. People definitely listen to famous people and may benefit from what they have to say or the money they have donated for a cause. But, do they owe us....absolutely not.
