10 Strangest Things Fans Have Sent Celebrities
Celebrity, Lists, Other, ShockingSome celebrities and famous figures have such devoted and hardcore fans that many of them can become more like stalkers than simple followers of their work. One of the main ways this type of behavior can manifest itself is through the sending of fan mail through the post, although usually this just involves an admirer sending a letter or small gift to a person they look up to. In some cases though, fan mail can take on a slightly darker meaning and feeling, with people sending some truly bizarre and disgusting things into their heroes.
