I just have a hard time understanding that real people can have a perceived canon at all. Like in any other media you have the writers and directors deciding what's what, where you can't have that in RPF. Cut,
Honestly I like OP's take that because they're famous they realistically should have crew around most of the time, but it still boggles my mind.

You totally can, though. I mean, check out any gossip magazine or website - they make characters out of famous people and have "feuds" and "secret affairs" and "a good friend of [celebrity] said..." I mean, I don't know if Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie have ever even met each other, but there's been decades of published stories about their "feud" over Brad Pitt, and how Jennifer Aniston is totally definitely pregnant this time etc. etc. etc. The British Royal family are another source of RPF-style "canon" in the mainstream press.

Huh. That's actually very interesting, I hadn't though about it like that at all. I mean it's basically dehumanizing them to the point where they're just the characters the gossipmongers want them to be... I can see how you could craft a canon from that. Since like you said, the only reality we know is (arguably) from the headlines and news articles that talk about them. RPF actually has more layers than I originally thought;; (Very well put, btw!)
