I can’t be certain that it is her or a Russian spy. I never asked her to friend me but the two or three times I have commented on her posts have elicited thumbs up. I just read her posts. I can see all of her personal posts right now. I’m a little freaked out. ---

I was pretty happy when Dwayne “@therock” Johnson followed me on Twitter. Then I realize it was @TheRorck. Not as exciting. ---

She has a fan site that I didn’t realize existed until this morning. But this is from her personal account. Tons of pictures - someone is great at photoshop or hacked her account or it’s real. (pictures are just everyday photos, nothing remotely sexual) ---

No. Just waiting for some more confirmation, I guess. Not sure how I’ll get it, though. Maybe she’ll send me her phone number. ---

She’s just trying to get into your pants. ---

I have two celebrity-types on my friends list in Facebook. Fred Hembeck accepted my friendship several years back, I’m not sure why, but he’s pretty chill on Facebook and he mostly shows and sells prints of his work. He has sent me birthday messages though, which I think is pretty neat. I’ve mentioned to him a few times that I really dig his work and love the way he does knees. The other celebrity-type is Kevin Matthews, who was a Chicago radio personality during the 80s and 90s. I assume he accepted my friend request because he’s an idiot. ---

Celebrities who follow me (for some inexplicable but wonderful reason) on Twitter include Ron Perlman, Illeana Douglas, Ava DuVernay, and David Caruso (all confirmed accounts). The funny thing about that last one is I’ve never followed him, and still don’t. But there he’s been for the last several years, keeping an eye on me! Closest thing to a celebrity “friend” on Facebook (outside film critics and documentary directors) is a super wonderful woman who’s a regular cast member on a network TV series procedural drama. ---

Tons of pictures - someone is great at photoshop or hacked her account or it’s real. (pictures are just everyday photos, nothing remotely sexual) It “could” be a fake site, with the photos copied from the celebrity’s Twitter feed. Then again, maybe it’s somebody who believes in, “You can’t have enough publicity.” Can you access the celebrity’s home page and see how many friends she has? ---

I get form emails from Diane Feinstein every few months. There’s even a convenient link to donate to the DNC or her re-election campaign! [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/an-a-list-celebrity-sent-me-a-friend-request-on-facebook-this-weekend/813355.md?page=2)
