The media always looks for something with the rich and famous... something to knock them down a peg or two.

Yes, however the fact that this is the case (the microscpoe of celebrity) it doesn't make the reaction of these people any more called for or any less absurd. And it especially doesn't make it any more right.
People can't smoke in public restaurants for a reason - it's illegal in some places. Last I checked it's not illegal to smoke during an interview, and until it is there's nothing wrong or outrageous about her doing so.
Blame it on the fact her actions as a celebrity are scrutinized all you want, but I see it as yet another case of people attributing far more credit to a celebrity than they deserve. If people realized that celebrities are no more or less human than any other person on this planet, and treated them as such, this wouldn't be nearly as big of a deal as it's being made into.
