Haha cobbler. Heh
Anyway, yeah the woman was like madly in love with Michael Douglas so she was sending threatening message to Ms. Zeta-Jones. One of them(as reported by People Magazine) said she was going to chop her up and eat her or something along those lines. Then they went to court and the woman said Catherine tried making her commit suicide. That woman needs to be in a mental hospital.

What is Broadway? A street? Some say it's a street. Some say it is the best street in the world. Others think its terrible. That's the beauty of it, it's terribly beautiful. Some hate it and don't know why. Others love it and don't know why. That's what makes it so wonderful, it's a mystery.

Okay, perhaps I should have been clearer. I just meant that teenagers who can appear to be 'stalkerish' are usually just over-zealous.
No, no matter HOW old you are, if you're following someone home, that's just... wrong.

I believe that the type of cobbler wasn't specified, but whatever works for you guys.

It's not the behavior, it's the mental state of the person that defines the difference between 'over zealous' and 'stalker.' There are perfectly sane and respectable people travelling to different parts of the country to see their favorite performers and writing them letters and trying to meet them (or seeing Broadway shows over and over to see their favorite performer.)

"I smell blueberries, faintly... "
I thought cherry. Either that or I smell like a guy who mends shoes. Yes!
**EDIT: And on the stalker thing, I agree with John Popa. I see my favorite performer in almost all of his shows, and I'm sure that it's clear that I'm not a stalker because I just watch the performances and I don't try to follow him home or anything.

So, if there's a famous person who I want to become friends with, what's the best way to go about it?

You were a late-blooming flower, Zola?
That is VERY endearing.
At any rate, I think a problem starts when one is a fan and waits by the stage door to talk to their favorite actor and then somewhere inside, they believe that they're 'friends'.
It won't necessarily turn out bad...but it is something to watch in yourselves and others.

Sammy, the same tried and true methods still apply: follow them home on the subway and when they open the outside door to their building, follow them in, and up to their apartment. They'll probably invite you in for a drink, and the rest is easy.

The difference between a fan and a stalker is that the former is obsessed with a person's work, while the other is obsessed with the person themselves. Once you start genuinely feeling that a celebrity's personal life is your business, and you're entitled to have input into it, you're crossing into stalker territory.

Thanks to a comment by Mister Matt on the board member kiss thread, I searched MMS and found this fascinating conversation.
I also have had first hand experience with this. I had a stalker once, I wasn't one.
At worst, a stalker is very frightening and at best, very annoying.
I don't think most people consider their behavior to be stalking and in most cases people are just trying to be nice or have some contact with an actor they like. You need to step back and think about it. How would you feel if a total stranger showed up at your job or school every day waiting for you? Wouldn't that feel creepy even if the person were not doing anything out of line?
When people wait at a stage door to greet and meet the actors, it's very sweet and the actors certainly appreciate the kind words and hearing how much someone enjoyed the show. Most actors I know try to return the kindness by chatting a few minutes, signing autographs and taking photos. It's a way of showing appreciation for the support of the audience. It does not mean the actor is going to become your friend, invite you to their home, give you their phone number or any other simialr gesture.
Please keep this in mind. Actors are frequently the victims of stalkers and anyone who goes overboard can make you feel jittery when you walk outside and see them for the fifth night in a row waiting specifically for you. Nothing will really come of it so, why bother? Your intentions may be good but, the actor does not know that.

LG had that question as well. When she's around I detect a faint blueberry aroma, so I'm guessing the former.
