I think that it is incredibly difficult for a non-celebrity to get close enough to a celebrity for a connection to be made. I would have loved to have met Heath, and would love to meet Jake, but when would I ever have the chance? Even if there was going to be an attraction, there would be less than a moment for it to be realised.
Berit:
Nick Cage, didn't he marry a waitress or something......

Hmmm, why in the world would Heath attend a party thrown by the very people he moved to the other side of the planet to avoid? - the paparazzi?
I'm not sure I buy that Daily Telegraph addendum.

I'm thinking he didn't realize that. It could have been little Hollywood nobodies working with the paparazzi or paparazzi pretending to be other people. He was mislead into thinking that these people were "friends." At one point, Heath even said something like, "Where are you guys from?" He was trying to be friendly.

Heath's setup kind of answers that question for me. Who else can they really trust? How can they let their guard down enough to get close to someone not in the business?

Several years back, I did features regularly for a weekly newspaper that functioned as Atlanta's city magazine. Mind you, I wasn't anything within shouting distance of being a "celebrity", even a local one -- just a local writer whose byline appeared regularly. And people started driving me nuts. Former schoolmates whom I'd had little contact with previously became my new best friends -- especially when there was a concert in town they hoped to get freebies for -- and I regularly went out on dates with guys who "just happened" to have a band or a new business they wanted written up. (That was always put to me as giving me a "hot tip for a story", LOL....) And I remember thinking OMG, now I understand why celebrities are so parannoid about everybody wanting a piece of them: I'd only taken a few small nibbles out of a huge buffet and those nibbles were already giving me food poisoning, so to speak.
But actors marrying other actors can be a mistake. I have a former classmate who's had a very successful career as a film costume designer, and she married a guy who's a superintendent in the Los Angeles Public Works department. "Always marry outside The Business," she says. 8)
