Dialogue 1
Amanda: Are you a big fan of David Beckham?
Steven: I used to be, but not after he left England to join the Real Madrid team in Spain.
A: I adore him so much that I became a member of his official fan club.
S: Really? I had no idea that you were so star-struck!
A: Oh, yes. I've been star-struck since I was a little girl. Do you want to see myauto- graph book?
S: Ok. Do you have many autographs?
A: Yes, I have quite a few. I hope that some of them will be worth money some day.
S: Are you interested in celebrity gossip?
A: I know I shouldn't be, but I really love to read about celebrities online. They have such glamorous lives!
S: So, what do you think about all the gossip about Britney Spears right now?
A: Well, after she shaved her head bald and got two tattoos in one afternoon, a lot of people decided that she's having a nervous breakdown. I just think she's frustrated with the paparazzi and wish that they'd leave her alone.
S: There have been numerous cases of the paparazzi interfering with star's private lives.
A: In Britain, people are concerned about Kate Middleton, William's girlfriend. Apparently the paparazzi are after her just like they were with Princess Diana, and we know how that ended.
S: It's tragic, isn't it?
Dialogue 2
S : Guess who I met at the mall today?
A: I don't know. Who?
S : Pamela Anderson, the star of Baywatch!
A: What was she doing at the mall?
S : She was there for a book signing for her book Star.
A: Did you get her autograph then?
S: Yes, I didn't have her book,
so I went and bought it so she could sign it.
A: Did you get anything else for going? Sometimes they hand out free posters or fanzines to the fans.
S: Actually, I got a poster signed for you. I know how you idolize the rich and the famous!
A: That's really nice of you, Steven. Thanks! Are you a big fan of Pamela?
S: - Not really. Her acting skills aren't that great. I think people just like her for her looks.
A: What was your impression of her when you met her in person?
S: Well, despite what 1'd heard about her in the press, she actually seemed rather sweet.
A: Were there a lot of people there?
S: You should have seen it! When she got out of the car, her fans were all screaming and trying to give her flowers and to get her autograph! It was crazy!
