The Secret World Of Groupies

1111.jpg
Many women dream of meeting their favorite celebrity, but some make it their mission in life. Groupies will do anything to get up close and personal with Hollywood bad boys like Jay-Z, Mick Jagger and Billy Idol. Have you ever done anything you normally wouldn't do in order to meet a star? Did you regret it?

Well i havent did anything yet because i am just a teenager.i try to enter in many contest and things, but like always it never works. I would do anything just to meet LIL WAYNE in person.

I don't consider "celebrities" as being any different than any other human beings so being obsessed with them makes no sense. "Groupies" are nothing more than individuals who are willing to do anything in return for money. That is, the ONLY reason that they find "stars" so attractive is because, in their minds, celebrities are a higher level of human being. People need to grow up and get out of the fantasy...the real world is waiting!

Some of you sound like you're just "happy" that someone CHOSE you. Yea, they chose you to sleep with and then be done with. Where's the honor in that? I hope that's not the only proud accomplishment in your life.

IMO the only ones who were real groupies were Pamela and Patti and thr twins. I don't consider the other three groupies. One is an ex-girlfriend, the other a stripper and the third is just a fan/friend of the band. Anyone here read Pamela's book?

I have kids by two rock stars, we go back to the 60s. I got a message from one of them two months ago that he would get a divorce for me and I said no. Our kids are love childs and we planned them. But I warned the guys some of the groupies don't use birth control. As far as a tell all book about stars, I also warned the guys of that kind of big mouth mess, so if he's married leave him alone.

What an interesting show! I only wish I had self confinence and youth on my side so I could meet my idols. I know at my age it'll never happen (I'm in my 40's), but I still would like to met and hang out with some of the bands I grew up listening to. They have been the soundtrack of my life and to thank them would be awesome.

Not all groupies are in it for the sex. YOU GO GIRLS!

Dr. Keith, I have recently become a fan, even though you are in direct conflict with Oprah....Yet, I found, for the first time offended by you today referring to the blonde "groupie" as being the way she is because she was raised by a father who rode a Harley? As a side note, my friends and I have a new Harley rider in our group.....he just bought a new Harley and is the neighbor of one of the couples I ride with. Oh, and he happens to be employed by one of the powerful rock bands in the country. We are not "groupies", thank god for him, he has the opportunity to be a normal human being when he is home with his wife and daughter. I find this email suited both to the rock star theme and the Harley slam Dr. Keith, this is why I write to you. Thank you for your show, I find it invigorating and cutting edge, yet , obviously I must give you "kudos" because you have me on my computer telling you this! If you have a problem with people who ride, do a show...you are obviously misinformed :) Sheila

I just saw this show on groupies. wow. I don't like the term "Groupie", but I've had very similiar experiences as Janine. NEVER any sex, because i respect myself. I'm definately very pretty, and get alot of attention from men. I fell in love with a band, and because of my looks, got into their inner circle, as a friend. So i get to hang out backstage/get free tickets, etc. But there was never any sex, just innocent flirtation and beautiful music. I'm still very young, and I guess I would agree that their is a feeling of power involved. The idea that, out of all the girls he could have, he chose me, is definately significant. I am actually a shy person, which i'm sure you wouldn't expect a groupie to be. But like Penny-Lane said in Almost famous: "i'm not a groupie, i'm a band-aid."

i never been with a celeb...but there was this local celebrity that all the girls want to be with and all my friends we all just loved him and i had the chance to hook up with him and i was happy and i knew he wasnt in love with me but him just wanting to be with me and calling me i loved it now were just real good friends which i still love

To Andrea,

If I were without a child and single, I think I'd be at the Dr. Keith Ablow show everyday. Ha!

I had relationships with rock stars for over ten years. It started out as wanting to meet bands, then friendships, and sometimes intimacy. I was what I termed an 'intellectual groupie', very like Jeannine. I wanted to get to know the men behind the music.

I had some flings, but I also had a few deeper relationships. At that time in my life, it was very fulfilling, but when I look back, it kept me from finding a man, buying a house, and advancing my career.

I found that for an average-looking girl with bad self esteem, it was a rush of power. I felt so sexy and so elite being flown all over the country as these men's guests.

It didn't hurt that I was in my twenties and most of the men I chased were in their forties--definite power/father figure thing.

It was a huge power rush to talk to these men and see what ticked inside them. Many times the men meet the expectations that I had built up from admiration or crushes.

But the man I fell so deeply for shattered my heart. He wined and dined me, flew me thousands of miles, romanced and seduced me. Then, he broke my heart thoroughly. Yes, I was young and naieve and he knew it.

I met this man when I was age 16, the first time, and we became involved when I was 21. He was in his early forties when we met and in his mid-late forties when we split up.

He introduced me to a lot of 'non standard' things in terms of intimacy. And it was an exhilirating time for me.

Now that I'm a settled married woman, I wouldn't mind seeing him again, just to say hello and let him know that I'm happy.

My husband knows about my pastand doesn't have a problem with it.

Where are the morals in this? Being a groupie is nothing more than being a prostitute. Sex out of marriage is wrong, no matter how you try to sugar coat it. This country was founded on the Bible and moral principles and we have fallen far from the the direction we should be going. Life is short and these men are nothing more than men. I am not a groupie and never wanted to be. I have no desire to meet "celebrities". My hero is Jesus Christ and I will meet Him in Heaven when I die.

I am a 26 year old married woman who came from a great family and had a wonderful childhood. (My dad by the way is one of the most influential people in my life.) I had my ear to the television when the Dave Matthews goupie came on. I am a huge fan of his, and I tell you what, if I ever got the chance to meet him, my husband might be in trouble!! I agree with the people on the show who said eveyone's a groupie. There is someone everyone would love to meet and who has inspired them in some way. I know I would never actually have a sexual encounter with Dave if given the chance......but that's ONLY because I'm married and love my husband. If I was single I'd be chasing that man around the country!!

It's too bad there are women who will do anything to be with rock stars. I have been on the other side of the fence, as the faithful rock star wife. My husband's affair nearly destroyed my life & our marriage, but thankfully we have been able to move on, (but not forget.) Now, my husband, Ted Nugent, and I are happier than ever.
In my book, "Married to a Rock Star" I tell about the affair in detail and how it devastated our family.
I am amazed Dr. Keith asked the groupies about how his producer could meet Eminem. By doing so, he is promoting adultery, VD, and morally deprived women.

I just saw the show about groupies and thought there was nothing to be proud of if I were these women. Even if the men are famous, these women are still sluts and lack morals.

Is getting free tickets to a concert worth catchiing an STD for it? I mean I've said it things myself like I wonder how "jay or Nas is in bed" but to actally want to sleep with them no. It's not worth being called a slut or hoe. And to come on TV braggin about it is worst. Come on now. How do you expect to get a real job is you're been on TV braggin about sleeping with all these famous men? Cus just like he picked you when he goes to another city he's picking another groupie.
