Basic Trope: A character has a crush on a celebrity.
- Straight: Alice has a crush on rock star John; she buys all his albums, has posters of him on her wall and talks about how hot he is to her friends.
- Exaggerated: Alice is obsessed with John; she has a shrine dedicated to him and stalks him.
- Downplayed: Alice thinks John is attractive and is a fan of his music, but doesn't take it very seriously and happily dates people she can have a real relationship with.
- Justified: Alice was friends with John before he got famous and still likes him.
- Inverted: John the rock star has a crush on ordinary girl Alice.
- Subverted: ???
- Double Subverted: ???
- Parodied: ???
- Zig-Zagged: ???
- Averted: Alice is a fan of John but doesn't have a crush on him, thinking it would be weird to have a crush on someone she's never met.
- Deconstructed: Alice finally gets to meet John in person...only to discover he's actually a Jerkass in real life and nothing like she imagined, causing her to realise she's been Loving a Shadow.
- Played For Drama: Alice convinces herself she and John are meant to be together and rejects anyone else who shows an interest in her for the unlikely outcome of John.
