Default Ethical question for OOT

Hi,
I am a frequent poster here but choose to post this under this gimmick account.

I live in a average standard block with 8 flats, priced around 200-300k. About a year ago my neighbour living two stairs above me told me that xxx was considering buying his apartment for about 300k. xxx is a high-profiled female singer whose videos are shown appx. 10 times daily at MTV and almost always makes it to the top 10 in sexiest women contests. A little hard to believe that she was going to move to our rather average block and not some hollywood mansion, but her father bought the apartment (I figure it was to make it harder to trace) and she moved in. She put only her first name on the doorbell and no name sign on her door. So obviously she was looking for a anonymous place of living.

Having her living there has been a rather funny experience. She is never leaving her flat withot being dressed like she was going to a photoshoot (when you are unshaved and put on some used clothes to go to buy bread, meeting her that way is a bit embarrassing [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]). I have flirted a bit with her and she is very nice and kind (no arrogance at all). When we had our annual backyard shineup she apologized to everyone for not being able to take part and some weeks later I found her doing gardening in the backyard. I told her it is nice that somebody takes responsibility and she said she had been so busy recording and touring that she had not had a day off for months but now she finally had one.

Here comes the ethical question. I have advertized my flat for sale, and I have not gotten any satisfactory bids. I guess that if I would tell that she lives in the building I would probably get a lot of offers. But I imagine that this way; the highest offer would be likely to come from either a crazy fan, a lunatic stalker or some lowlife paparazzi and her hideout from all the fuzz surrounding her whereever she goes would be destroyed. She is actually very lucky to have had 7 neighbours that have kept their mouth shut.

Am I too nice not playing this card, or is it an ethical nobrainer?

PS. When I told her I was moving, without pausing she said "oh no", like in the "I was hoping something could happen between us"-way. That raised my self-consciousness to a new level [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]. However, having dated a celebrity earlier and seen the backside of that I will never do it again.
