I think most actors/celebrities don't mind fans who are respectful of them and carefully choose their times to speak to them. That would include not interrupting them when they are trying to have family time, etc. There are settings where they more or less expect to see fans--like, at the stage door if they are Broadway performers, etc. Not at their own front door.
As you may recall, Gwyneth Paltrow made a movie called Country Strong that was released a few months back. She said at the time that she loved Nashville and wanted to buy a house around here. Well, my older son lives in Nashville and was out walking his roommate's dog a few days ago, and he saw a woman driving a car in the neighborhood where he lives. She was looking at the dog he was walking ( a bichon frise, cute and expensive, I think). When he looked at her, he realized, "That woman looks just like Gwyneth Paltrow!" As soon as she saw him looking at her, she stopped looking at him and the dog and pretended to ignore him as she drove off. I think it probably was Gwyneth Paltrow, and that's the way she handles being recognized when she isn't wanting to greet fans.
