That obviously leads to some tension, especially at an event like E3 where they would regularly be coming into contact with celebrities (mostly of the Internet variety).

I tend to side with Wombat. Celebrities are just people. And in my experience, they appreciate you more and feel more respected when you treat them as such. Talk to them. Don't worship them.
