Is this a positive remark or negative?

This was said about a celebrity.
Would you take this mean something negative or positive?
She can't manage to stay out of the papers.

How would you say the last bit?

She can't manage to stay out of the papers and not in a good way/for good things.

Thanks

What if I was saying something positive?
Like she's won so many awards. That's why she's in the papers.

Which ending would be suitable? How would you say the last bit?
She can't manage to stay out of the papers but in a good way/for good things.

Thank you

She can't manage to stay out of the papers but in a good way/for good things. The underlined is not used for good things.
'She is often in the papers (for)(because of) the good things she does.'
