本刊记者查德·李采访了名人私人助理培训部主任丽贝卡·坦。李:丽贝卡,你们为名人培训私人助理，你们教学员什么呢？坦:第一条规则：尊重名人的隐私。如果你不能为他们保密，你就会丢掉饭碗。决不能告诉别人，你为谁工作，都做些什么。李:隐私为什么这么重要？坦:因为名人不想在杂志上看到有关自己私生活的报道。李:那人们怎样才能深入了解这个职业呢？他们没机会与业内人士交流……

Article坦:他们可以跟我们交流啊，也可以与以前当过助理的人交流。他们还可以看我写的书。我当过25年的名人助理。李:您的书什么时候出版的?坦:去年。书里讲的是名人助理的职责。但是我要提醒贵刊的读者——他们或许会发现这份工作并不像人们所想象的那样光鲜。书中记述的无非是凌晨四点起床给名人的病狗清理粪便，然后一直工作到第二天深夜这类琐事。李:听起来挺烦人……也挺累人的！那您为什么还干了25年呢？

Article坦:这份工作报酬丰厚，而且我还遇到了一些我崇拜的好莱坞偶像，也遇到了一些值得我尊敬的名人——他们都是善待别人的好人。李:您认为大多数名人都是好人吗？坦:是的。有些名人确实很糟糕，可也有些名人没有得到公允的评价。例如，歌手汤姆·维茨就很棒。我曾经给他写过一封信，告诉他我是多么敬佩他那种对待歌迷、员工以及公众的方式。但我还是决定不把信寄出去——我不想让他认为我是在用这种方式找工作。我想我本可以匿名寄出去的——但是，我当时没有想到。无论如何，我还是很敬佩他的。

Article李:那些糟糕的名人都有谁呢?坦:我不能说出他们的名字。李:为什么不能?坦:那样的话就违背了第一条规则!
