She doesn't seem to appreciate her fans…

If I was at a newstand on a hot sunny day and two annoying individuals were giggling like school girls at me, i'd be stand-offish too. She doesn't appreciate her fans? Her fans don't seem to appreciate how to interact with someone they admire without gawking at them.

Totally agree, i think it was a lil out of order. Fans have made her who is she today, without them she would've have had a successful career. That's exactly how it is in show business. It takes 2 secs to take a pic with someone, and it means the world to a fan.
My friend saw Keanu Reeves yesterday (UK) while she was on a day out at go ape, this adventure parkhe was filming for his new movie. She screamed his name while she was up in the trees and he smiled and waved at her. It takes literally 2 secs to make someones day.
I just want to make it clear, i'm not a hater at all. I quite like Kate, shes a very cool actor. I'm sure she had good reasons not to sign/take pics, and less not forget that its human nature to behave how we dono ones perfect but a lil consideration goes a long way -

With your thinking then, if someone knocks on her door at 2AM she should come out and say hi as the fan DESERVES attention and to have their day made. That may sound silly but no more than your saying "fans made her who she is today" Nonsense Kate made who she is along with some breaks. I live in West Hollywood (WeHo) and see much more major stars than Kate and I ignore them as I know they dont want to be accosted by some "looney bin". Also Kate is extremely shy and ill at ease if she cant control the situation. Waving at some crazy in a tree is a bit diff from taking picture with someones arm draped over you.

Apparently you guys missed part 2 of that fan encounter. Completely disregarded her for yet a second time. Even her lesbian friend recognized the same fan from oh 3 minutes ago. She was waaay too busy s111cniffing the stratosphere to acknowledge a fan.

I don't really know this woman, just looked her up for something I just saw her in and was reading these boards looking for a different piece of information entirely, but read this thread for the hell of it.
Really, I have to say that some of you are pretty ridiculous. Those who "defend" her are in an extreme in the same way the people attacking her are.
Fame is what it is. We all know the drill. Celebrities get elevated to a position of privelage that comes with a lot of perks in our society, including large amounts of money and other things. The whole concept is built upon the idea that people want to see them, want to watch them do what they do. Understanding the relationship to fans shouldn't be that hard.
Should a celebrity be hounded? Their trash gone through or private life turned upside down? Oh absolutely not, but there is a huge difference here between some paparazzi chasing someone down the street, harrassing them with questions, and some girl who approaches alone and just wants a picture.
When it comes to something like that, I DO think celebrities should have a special understanding and reaction in the situation. They need to be able to handle that as part of their job, and understand that it comes with the territory. They at least need to give all fans the respect we all owe one another.
It honestly didn't even seem to me, though, that she gave the girl the basic decent response we would all want as a common form of courtesy, regardless of who we are talking to. "And I'm glad that you do" was a very sarcastic and dismissive thing to say, and you guys all know that. She wanted the girl out of her face.
Sorry, but no matter who the person is, if I went up to them to pay them a large compliment and tell them how much I really enjoy their work, I would expect to at least be treated with respect. She didn't have to take a picture or something, but her response was NOT courteous. If you people honestly believe that it was, that's a very sad statement about society. -

This is one of those issues that can't be tidily solved with factual accuracy. It's simply a matter of opinion. Some people (I'm going to go ahead and commit the ultimate16d0 sin by generalizing and assume this is largely an American phenomenon) feel they are owed something personal by the stars they like because they have in one way or another contributed to said star's large bank account (what it all boils down to in the end). Others, like me, tend to think that this is like expecting a shop-owner to hug you while getting a picture taken simply because you happen buy your groceries from him/her.
In fact, I can't think of a single moment when I've either expected nor given any "respect" (whatever that means - I have a hard time wrapping my head around nebulous concepts like that) from or to anyone. Of course, I have a personality disorder, so that might be a contributing factor to the leaning of my reasoning.

It started in America but then moved over to the UK - It is the same in both countries, I can't speak for other ones in Europe. Regardless, you know what you're getting into when you become an actor. To claim that people shouldn't treat them like they owe them something or ask for autographs is fine, I agree to an extent. But if you hate that kind of thing then you'd have to be an idiot to go into a career which, if you succeed, will mean a lot of that occuring on a daily basis. This in itself is quite odd as being an actor generally means you crave a lot of praise and attention.

I just find it a complete puzzle how people, regardless of age or gender (I refuse to accept the various inclinations ste5b4mming from those as an excuse), can be so taken by people they've never met that they behave like drooling imbeciles when confronted with them in the flesh. I suppose I am too egocentric (almost certainly bordering on the pathological) to ever understand.

If you spend enough time talking about someone, appreciating someone, enjoying their work, yet you've never seen them nor expect to, it will obviously come as a big surprise if you do meet them in the flesh. Over time they build up in your mind and therefore they react oddly to an odd situation.

Ok read this whole thread and have to sayI find it a bit ridiculous that the first thread seems to let this little video sully their entire impressions of Kate simply because she didn't want to have her picture taken by this young fan.
I won't go into how annoying the cameraman wasI'm sorry the young fan didn't get to get a picture with Kate, but at least Kate wasn't mean about it. She might have a strict policy on her "days off" as it wereif she gave that girl a picture, what if about ten other girls wanted one?
Just my two cents.
It just seems a bit silly (to me) to devote your heart to a celebrity and then let one video or story or anything just turn you against her/him just like that. With such love should come understanding as well.
I'm just sayingcould have been a lot worse.
