starfucker
Fame-obsessed social climber
A starfucker is someone who pursues sexual or social relationships with celebrities, driven by fascination with fame rather than genuine connection.
The term is derogatory, suggesting shallow opportunism: She's just a starfucker looking for her next famous boyfriend.
It extends beyond sex to anyone who aggressively cultivates proximity to the famous: The party was full of starfuckers and hangers-on.
