We don't trope real life people. We trope their works and roles.

Tropes about their personal life should be nuked on sight.

Singers are real life people, you know. I was referring to parts of a singer/artist's personal life that they have been known for; should those go on their main Music page or their Trivia page? Here's an example: Chris Brown's page mentions his incident with Rihanna in a Darker and Edgier trope instead of on his Trivia page.

It's still gossip having nothing to do with their work. We care about their work, not their personal lives. Axe those mentions, period. You can go read US Magazine if you want gossip.
