Why do ppl always get so starstruck? :O

<p>It seems like everyone always wants to be friends with a celebrity or stalk them.... personally, i find it creepy and way too much trouble. lol. Already i've seen lots of ppl sucking up to Miss Couturable or Biden's chief of staff's daughter ;O</p>

<p>People are naturally attracted towards auras of power, success, and celebrity. When I met President Obama, you could almost feel the gravity of his office and status pulling you in (regardless of political affiliation).</p>

<p>What’s wrong w/ Columbia these days? One thing I liked about about Columbia was that people were generally so wrapped up in their own little worlds that they couldn’t give a crap about this sort of thing. What you’re saying is surprising. Various celebs / children of celebs overlapped with me, and nobody seemed to care.</p>

<p>Who the hel1 is Miss Coturable and why should I care? And what kind of d’bag would suck up to the daughter of someone barely consequential in the grand scheme of things? I can’t even name Biden’s chief of staff, and I follow politics fairly closely. In fact, I don’t think I can name a single VP’s chief of staff, and I would be curious if a VP’s chief of staff has ever mattered in any way close to how a WH chief of staff like Rahm or Card mattered.</p>

<p>haha<br>
that probably tells you how boring their lives had been and shows where they’ve come from.
i really wonder how one could even get excited about biden’s chief of staff’s daughter. if they were in my secondary school, they would have suffered a brain haemorrhage. hopefully, by the time when they graduate, they would be more civilised.</p>

<p>I agree that these people seem to be trying to climb the ladder more than actually being starstruck.</p>

<p>Recently, there was a news item about a hairdresser selling Adam Lambert’s hair on eBay. Some dope paid $750 for it. </p>

<p>There’s this whole underground community of groupies out there. They’ll latch on to anyone if they think that there’s a chance that some of the magic will rub off. Usually, they’re harmless and they’re quirky in a safe way - they’ll end up on A&E discussing their Bon Jovi obsession. Occasionally, you have someone like the creep that bought Adam Lambert’s hair. I don’t doubt that, given the opportunity, the eBay buyer would kill/eat our American Idol.</p>
