Frustrated with Thorne Bailey

I did not have much issue with him until today. He showed up at the restaurant my sim and her family were visiting. The whole family, every other guest, the host and all the waiters flocked around Thorne and refused to do anything else. I kept telling my group to sit down together at their table, but they just got up again within a second and swarmed Thorne again! After waiting for the food from midday until evening, I had enough and just left the lot.
I wish that at least the special sims on a lot (hosts, bartenders, waiters and so on) were coded to ignore celebrities. And that maybe the other sims hypes over the celeb for a bit and then goes back to their own business unless they got the special Fan tag.
