No doubt everyone has heard that Chelsea Clinton is getting married today in 
Rhinebeck, New York.  Well, that's my hometown so it's pretty nutty around here 
with all the celebrity-spotting and no-fly zone stuff going on.  People have 
been waiting around for hours to catch a glimpse of anyone famous.  Rumor had 
it that Oprah stopped by at a well known ice cream stop called the "Holy Cow" 
to get an ice cream.  That piece of news was making the rounds.

I was in the middle of the fray yesterday with my camera wondering if there is 
a psychological angle to all this.  I only came up with these:

1) Sternberg's theory of love: I assume that Chelsea and her soon to be husband 
(what's-his-name) are in the Romantic Love stage.  

2) Erikson: I also assume that she's in the Intimacy vs. Isolation stage.

3) Celebrity: the event is another example of our obsession with celebrities.   
Any psychological theory to tap into here?

I'll probably make another stop by in town today so if you think of any 
questions I should ask people let me know.  Not that I'm caught up in the whole 
thing....
