As the debate rages on in various posts across our site this week, I thought I would set up a new post to debate where exactly we should draw the line when trying to get a glimpse of our favorite celebrities.
I’ll start with a confession. Once, many years ago, when Jimmy Fallon was still on SNL, I saw him outside of 30 Rock and what followed is what I commonly refer to as the “Jimmy Fallon Grab”.
I was much younger and much stupider, and foolishly grabbed his arm as I walked by him. I can still see it, in slow motion, I reached out and just grabbed him. I would never do that to a perfect stranger! But because it was Jimmy Fallon, who I had a major celeb crush on, I lost control. It was completely inappropriate and, thankfully, he ignored it and I came to my senses before I was arrested! (Thanks to Jimmy Fallon for not calling the cops!)
So clearly, this is crossing a line, physical contact with strangers is not really popular in our society. But what about waiting outside a celeb’s hotel or apartment building? The Robert Pattinson fans seem to have pretty strong feelings about this one.
What about watching celebrities film a scene on a public street, most would think that’s ok until a celeb is, let’s say, chased by a mob of teenage girls. But isn’t that just part of the “fame game”?
Let us know what you think or what your experience has been.
And feel free to share your own embarassing celeb encounters!

The following is a guest post from Satellitetvguru.net.
“Fringe”, which begins filming in it’s new hometown of Vancouver today, has recruited a new cast member. “Deal or No Deal” model Meghan Markle is joining the cast for season two.
According to Zap2It.com, “Markle, who has guested on “90210″ and a number of other shows, will have a recurring part on the FOX sci-fi series, according to The Hollywood Reporter. She’ll be playing a young FBI agent who’s described as “attractive, brash and quick-witted.”
It sounds like Markle may be replacing Kirk Acevedo’s Charlie Francis. Acevedo was fired from the show, which he announced on his Facebook page at the end of season one, because the show wanted to focus on the core group of Olivia Dunham (Anna Torv), Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson) and Walter Bishop (John Noble).
Fringe Television posted the letter that J.J. Abrams recently sent to Markle and all of the new cast and crew members in Vancouver welcoming them to season two. Wonder if he sent an equally cordial letter to those who lost their jobs in NYC thanks to the show’s move?

UPDATE from Rory: “From 3 pm tomorrow to 3 am Thursday, filming will take place at the Georgetown Waterfront Park and the stretch of 33 Street between Grace and Water Streets, according to emails sent out on the GeorgetownForum and the Metropolitan Police Department’s 2nd District listservs. According to the GeorgetownForum messages, production vehicles will also be at those locations on Friday, although it’s unclear if they’ll also be filming then.” I actually went by Adams Morgan last night/this morning at around 1am. They were filming on the corner and readying the street by spraying it will water. A crew guy that I talked to said they would be filming until 4/5 am. Apparently, they may be using a rain machine in Georgetown today.” (Thanks!)
