    With tongue firmly in cheek:

    Typically, celebrities are not "just normal people;" they are more celebrated and famous than normal people. Normal people do not get feted by the press, mobbed by groupies, or excoriated from the pulpit.

    Celebrity writers tend to write in a manner that gets published more. Stage actors tend to be more articulate than normal people. Intellectuals tend to be more thoughtful and adept at expressing elegant lines of thought than others. Celebrity musicians tend to get their noodlings played on the airwaves, while I plunk my guitar and people run away. Sports celebrities have had their sports worth validated by competing and winning at that sport. And so forth.

    Even movie actors tend to be prettier or more handsome than the regular run-of-the mill person.

    So just normal people get excited about seeing celebrities because they're just normal, while celebrities are--not.

    • But do people throw panties at their exceptional, yet non-celebrity, friends?

    • I disagree about celebs looks. Many of them are no better looking than ordinary people. If anything, many are ugly!

    • I throw my panties at the laundry basket. Does that make it a celebrity?
