Fans

People react strangely in the face of celebrity, don't they? Whether you're an international film star or in a crappy band that plays a monthly gig at the local bar, you're bound to have fans who think you're the bee's knees, the cat's pajamas.

At last night's Braves/Yankees game, an apparently attractive young woman ran onto the field to "touch" Derek Jeter. Of course, she was promptly arrested and led away. (She might've been a little more successful if she wasn't actually wearing a Giambi jersey. I think that's in Chapter 1 of the Basic Stalker Field Guide.)

One of Derek Jeter's crazy fans.

I really know how Derek feels. If I had a dime for each time an overly anxious fan ran up to me to "touch" me, I'd have a few dimes, I assure you. It's a tough life. Here's twenty cents worth:

The Scholar's Fans: Wearing jacket that said "The Rogue" instead of "The Scholar" was his mistake.

The Scholar's Fans: Good effort with the hair but where's the skirt?

What can I say? Fame has is drawbacks.
