I think there is nothing weird or stalkerish about meeting a celebrity in a controlled, deliberate manner, i.e., backstage after a concert, at a record/DVD signing, etc. But I do personally think it's not natural to approach someone famous when they are just out and about living their lives privately. I have seen tons of famous people walking around on the street, but I would never, ever feel it within my rights to crowbar myself into their world just because I recognized them or watched/read/listened to/admired their works. A friendly wave from a distance is where I draw the line.
