Hi, that sounds like erotomania. It's a delusional disorder common among celebrity stalkers. Here's a little snippet I found off a web page. You could do an internet search and find out more...
Erotomania, sometimes called de Clerambault's syndrome is a condition where a person believes (quite wrongly) that someone else, usually someone who is at a higher social or work level than themselves, is in love with them.
It is more common in Women.
It is classed under a group of Disorders known as the Delusional (Paranoid) Disorders.
