Umm... NO. You buy a ticket or CD or whatever and they, hopefully, give you a performance you enjoy for your dollar. That's it. They owe you nothing else, especially not the requirement that they stop on the street during their personal time for every fan who wants to say something to them. He has no idea whether you're just going to say hello or try to start a 20 minute conversation with him. ...or stab him. | |

I help them when I'm at work. If I run into one of them at the supermarket and they want to ask me how to make an Easter card using PrintShop, I tell them that I will help them when I'm on the clock. I'm not on-call 24 hours a day, and I'm not dripping with gratitude that they're seeking my freakin' expertise. The Normal Whores Club | |

Call Alec Baldwin an asshole all you want!
But you GD frequent posters are practically celebs on your own 
You just wait until random folks walk up to you and say, "Hey, aren't you Miguelgomez? That guy that uses babywipes?" It'll REALLY hit home when that shit starts happening to you !!!!

NWF said: CalhounSq said: So if you walked up to someone, said "excuse me" & they just kept walking would you be bitching about it? Or are you particularly wounded b/c he's famous?
I don't get it, people do what they do. He's not obligated to have a moment w/ everyone who pursues him, he'd never get on w/ his day 
I'm not saying he "should have" done that, but I understand the response. 
Maybe I'm an asshole too
 But I mean, if you're someone who enjoys that celebrities work and it puts money in their pocket and stuff, then they should be greatful that a fan is saying hello. Nah - you're acting like they're "ON" all the time. They're just people - everybody has a bad day or feels shitty or just doesn't wanna be bothered. It's sorta like saying as a woman I'm obligated to respond whenever a man says "hello". Well, yea, it would be nice if I did BUT I don't always FEEL like it - maybe I'm late for work, maybe somebody died, maybe I just want them to fuck off. MY feelings & mood are valid too, not just theirs. I'm sorry you let the snub get to you & all but damn, you put yourself out there & you gotta be prepared for the response - good, bad or non... The dude isn't obligated to you or any "fan"

I was friends with Liz Hurley - once - To tell you the truth she was a pratt then and is a pratt now always seeking attention without any talent! And to tell you the truth is she was walking by I wouldn't give her the time of day! "I may not agree with what you say but I'll fight for your right to say it"
Be proud of who you are not what they want you to be... | |

I don't bother celebrities in public.
I know my sisters are the same. One of my sisters was at a bowling alley in Los Angeles and Common (who lives in LA now) and Kanye West were there.. she just left them alone, even though this was when she was listening to Common's CD Be, that he collaborated with Kanye on. | |
