Celebrity Noose: Do you care about me, Mr. Mayer?

(andPOP) - I wonder if celebrities care what their fans think of who they date. I am looking in the direction of one of my fellow andPOP writers while I type this.

She (who wishes to remain anonymous because even she realizes how ridiculous she is) has a little "thing" for John Mayer. This means she hosts listening parties for his emo rock in public that I have to go to and that she's seen him more times in concert then I've actually seen her lately. The other day, over MSN, I was jibbing my friend over how John Mayer's face when he's ripping a guitar solo is the same as his scrunch face when Jessica Simpson is licking his junk. She then proceeds to tell me how some fans are so mean to Mr. Mayer: holding signs at his concerts saying he should dump Jess, spamming fan boards with their disgust at the blossoming love, etc., etc.

She then tells me that while she also disapproves of the relationship, she is totally supportive of whoever Mr. Mayer dates, she trusts him and that she would never confront him about his relationships. He can date whom he wishes. And while she's typing this long, long spiel out (I wish I saved the conversation), I'm thinking: does John Mayer really give a fuck whether his fans approve of his relationship or not? Does any celebrity really give a fuck about what their fans think of what they do?

Not likely.

If they cared, Britney wouldn't have married K-Fed. She'd still be with Justin. If they cared, Nick and Jessica would likely still be together, as would Ryan and Reese. And if they really cared, Jake and Heath would give in to their homosexual tendencies and hook up for good.

Now, I have to admit that I've had my own fangirl fantasies. Nick Carter and I were engaged back in '99. And don't celebs deserve it? Don't celebs like complaining about being celebs? Don't they like their limos and free shit? I'm sure they do. I guess there comes a point when we should 'grow' out of our fantasy relationships and delusions of how our favourite actor or singer just knows we are alive. They don't. Celebrities are childish enough for all of us, anyway.
