No, seriously, here is where I out myself as someone who follows celebrity gossip. Not religiously, and certainly not to the point where I get emotionally distraught over celebrity breakups or anything. But idk, it's a harmless way to satisfy my gossipy side, which I think comes from my Virgo Rising and heavy 3H placements. I like other people's "stories," I guess. Also my 12H Leo Moon probably contributes to this as well.

Not offend anyones religious beliefs, but the stories actually have good Mormon values. You know wait till you're married to make love. I think thats great and all to promote abstinence especially when its directed at kids, but still I hated the awkward sexual tension.... Besides I like the taylor lautner is really over sexed in that movie, so it defeats the whole purpose.
It bugged me how Bella never really did anything with her life, besides wait around for edward like a good wife should do :c, and then have babies.

I'm basically saying that I could care less if someone is a celebrity. If I like them I like them, if I don't I don't. The status of them doesn't matter to me.

The Knife, Bjork, Portishead. Then there are a bunch of not so popular bands I love. Planningtorock, iamamiwhoami, Perfume Tree. How popular they are doesn't matter though. I'll "obsess" over anything I want to. To me, it would feel just the same if I met them regardless of if they were well known or not.

I met Anne Hathaway a couple of years ago, I was at a concert and she rolled up next to me (I SAT NEXT TO HER!) with a security team. My friends wanted a picture, and I secretly did too, but then part of me thought that I wanted to just leave her alone and let her enjoy her privacy (probably a Piscean 'putting myself in their shoes' deal) as she entered a minute before the show began, hat tipped, trying to avoid being noticed. I was content with simply seeing her, and having the story to tell but there was a strange need to 'document' the event which I can't explain, like 'Oh I really want a picture so I can put it on Facebook'.

Yet one girl in her late teens/early 20s spotted her, and wasn't seated in our row, and was obsessed with getting a picture to the point where the security guard kept telling her to go away and she just wouldn't, and then Anne wielded and gave her a picture. But she wouldn't leave until she had a picture, and was pushing into our space to get one, and she talked about it as if it was some kind of right she had for seeing her.

Although, we seem to live in our age now where everything is documented and flaunted, especially for the Pluto in Scorpio generation and the new technology and social networking which is a force in our lives now (I'm in that generation). It's like having a camera/phone sewn onto the end of your hand and always living at an arm's length, never actually being present in the moment because you're too busy filming it for preservation.

So getting a picture with a celebrity is of much more importance now than it was in the past in my opinion because now you have to share this 'experience' with everyone in your life, so maybe that prompts things get more obsessive in that you have to get tangible 'evidence' of these moments?

Plus with Twitter, it's almost as if there's no barrier in getting in contact with celebrities, you can just message one and have a conversation, or send them an abusive message if you don't like them, or even find out their location and then go to that location so you can see or meet them. I think that further fuels the idea that they are public property in some way and that you have some kind of possession and ownership over them, which I guess could be Pluto in Scorpio in a way.
