I can still understand the idea of keeping yourself from your fans. People are bastards and some of them just want to be friends with a celeb, and others want to exploit and tag themselves in on their success. I may not be that guy, but it is probably hard for anyone of status to be able to tell. Plus it is easier to blow someone off when they are long distance. Don't get too attached, right?

Also, people forget or don't understand that the person they see in the media is not the same as the person in private. How many stories have we heard about celebs being assholes, or drug addicts, or otherwise just being completely different from what we thought? It takes work to be a public figure and to always behave a certain way. People can encounter a celeb in an airport, for example, and get a photo and an autograph, but then they start talking to them about things they may have read in an article, and think it's fact. It really is sad.
