A stan is a superfan who defends a celeb at all costs. Myleeza Mingo has been obsessed with Kim Kardashian for over a decade, but she's about to retire.
What happens when a person whose identity is intertwined with their celebrity has to collect their gold (Apple) watch and give up the life of being a Twitter bouncer? Katie talks to Myleeza and to Senior BuzzFeed Editor (and Kim K. expert) Kevin Smith about the stan life.
And guess what's back? LETTUCE CLUB IS BACK, people, and it's a miraculous thing. Ryan talks to an early member of the whole shebang, Luke Peterson.
