Let's say you make plans, but something's come up. So you call your SO and tell them the reason you can't make it. For example, let's say you can't make it because you feel tired or have a headache.
Now the question is, suppose your SO were a celebrity ...... would your headache/whatever be an adequate reason to cancel the date? Or would you rather take a pill in a desperate attempt to keep the date?
The answer to this question will reveal the amount of respect you have for your SO. And relationships are built upon respect first and foremost.

Well, I'm not dating her because she's a celebrity, so...that's irrelevent. How bad is my headache? Why am I so tired? Is my blood sugar low or something? I might power through it, I might not. Depends how bad it is, or how important the plans were to us/her. It would have to be pretty bad for me to cancel though.

It is a good thought experiment, actually.
This is a weird question. Personally, I don't like to see people during that time of the month. However, there are times when I carried on with plans anyway because I didn't want the person to think I was blowing them off. These weren't established relationships though. I would think if the person was actually my SO, they would be more understanding about me needing to cancel plans than someone I just met would be, so I would be more likely to cancel on them unless it was a really important event. It definitely doesn't have anything to do with me not respecting them, and the celebrity angle doesn't change anything.
I don't know about a celebrity, I don't care about them at all. Chances are, even if I had a date with a celeb... I wouldn't know it unless paparazzi came.
To further answer your question, I'd certainly put more effort into going on a date that I'm excited about. However, if something comes up, something comes up. I don't hold it against women and I don't expect them to hold it against me.. unless it's a recurring issue of course.

Really? You think that's a good "thought experiment"?
Right. Who cares if someone is a celebrity? That's only important to the fans, not the SO.
The situation would be the same if your partner was a school principal, a store manager, a nurse or construction worker.
If it's important to your SO that you attend, then perhaps you should muster your strength and put on a good face. If it's not crucial, then stay home and rest. If you're terribly ill, then your partner should understand.
Most celebrities biggest issue in relationships is finding someone who will treat them as a normal person. At least that's what they think they want, until someone does, then their spoiled, pompous attitude usually shines through. LOL
You seem to dread perhaps having to tell this person you might not be able to make it. That indicates you are idolizing this person and feaful they will reject you. And that is actually want they do not want. People who are wealthy and famous have had it all and they are numb to it. the one thing they most often want most, they cannot have. That being real and normal relationships. No money or fame can buy that. If you cannot make it due to illness, then don't make it. If they reject you because it, too bad, move on.
