Celebrities, beware of stalkers
If you were going to stalk a celebrity, who would it be?
I can tell you one thing: It wouldn’t be Paula Abdul or Sandra Bullock.
Both celebrities have gotten some press this week — not for their acting or singing exploits, but for the people that like to dig through their trash.
Abdul’s stalker was found dead from an apparent suicide near the singer’s home earlier this week. Bullock’s stalker was just sentenced to three years probation for dumping pieces of animal fur in the actress’ backyard.
My only question is: Why? Why pick the old, lame celebrities who are long past their prime?
If I were a stalker, I’d at least pick someone that is still respectable. What do these wackos find in the trash that compels them to keep coming back? Syringes from their latest Botox injection?
And if I were going to pick a lame celebrity, I’d at least do something cool or memorable, like what John Hinckley Jr. did for Jodie Foster when he tried to assassinate President Ronald Reagan.
Actually, President-elect Barack Obama probably has his hands tied with enough assassination attempts already.
And not because someone has a hard-on for Abdul’s cellulite.
