We're wayyyyyyy off topic now, but I'm more inclined to agree with Jung here, Deep. For every lovely celeb out there, there are fans, and among those fans, there are always a few fans that go too far. Every year, we hear several cases about an actor, actress, musician, or whatever whose life was made into a living hell by a "devoted fan".

Some of those fans think they "love" their chosen celebs. And some start to think the celebs owe them something in return. Some start sending flowers, then hang out in a parked car across from the celeb's house. Some go and knock on the celeb's door. All of these activities (and more) are PERFECTLY LEGAL. And yet, all these activities probably only remind the targeted celebs what "devoted fans" did to John Lennon and George Harrison.

So there's a definite line between things legal and illegal. But, much closer, there's the invisible line between "creepy" and "non-creepy". Between the threatening and the non-threatening. That's where one has to be careful, because what really matters is where the celeb perceives that line to be, not the devoted fan's idea of it. Especially since some devoted fans (e.g. Mark David Chapman) may not be exactly right in the head.

Ben, Brad, Lefty, Ruro, and other wise leaders of this forum have always encouraged a maximum amount of respect for our favorite celeb. To stay a safe distance back from the "invisible line". I think that's the best policy. We don't want to make Lilly feel uncomfortable. In other words, if someone is unsure, they're probably too close. If "creepy" or "non-creepy" needs to be debated, that's too close, too.
