Celebrities and fans have a unique connection. Despite knowing the fact that our favorites don’t even know about our existence, they become an important part of our lives. However, sometimes this obsession takes on a very sinister turn. This brings us to something that happened in 1996 with Björk that still shakes us to our core.

Don’t get us wrong, obsessing over a celebrity is okay and can be pretty fun. However, trouble starts when this obsession leads to people feeling entitled over the person. Something similar happened to Icelandic musician Björk when a fan tried to kill her after jealousy got the better of him.

Alicia Vikander opened up about her family life at the Zurich Film Festival, where she received the Golden Eye Award.

“Sometimes, [preparing for a role] is boring and tedious. My three-year-old is wondering what’s going on, because I’m locking the doors and talking to myself,” she laughed.

“Todd Haynes is 62,” Vachon said. “He’s not old but there’s a finite number of films that he will be able to do in his lifetime. I consider him one of the...
