Don't Look In THEIR EYES!

OK, I’ve been watching the news reports and entertainment segments on TV and, I’m used to quirks in movie stars, but what is this latest one that has popped up where they do not like people, especially service folks, looking them in the eyes when they meet them?

Insecurity? They can’t take a stranger sizing them up?

I thought the whole thing was a joke when I first heard a little about it around a year ago, but now it seems to be showing up with more and more of the celebrities. Several have their PR people let interviewers know that they will not even shake hands!

I think it’s good old-fashioned snobbery. They’re so far above the hoi polloi they won’t pollute themselves with our touch or gaze. It’s great PR, being seen as being above the avreage person, but they gotta swallow the occasional jab from cranks and malcontents (like me). After all, does a deity diegn to get into a fistfight with a mere human?
