As with biological women, gender-changed women could be either lesbian or straight. But as with everything, I don't think you can come up with one rule that generalizes for everyone.

I'm not exactly famous, but I was in the Peace Corps, and while I was there I had a fair amount of notoriety as the only white girl in a about two hours' travel. I couldn't go out without being recognized and without people wanting to talk to me, people assuming they knew all about me because they gossiped about me regularly, kids daring each other to run up and touch me, etc. So it's some kind of equivalent of being asked for your autograph all the time and having to duck paparazzi continuously. As to what I would have liked? Honestly, the only thing that really bothered me was when I got the impression that people were interacting with their stereotype of me and were unable to recognize that there might be a "me" under there that went against the stereotype. Pretty much everyone had assumptions about what it was like to be rich and American; I didn't mind that, if they asked honest questions about me and didn't mind hearing if they were wrong. I did mind the people who, when I didn't fit the assumption, told me I was wrong. Or who only wanted to interact with me because of my "fame," and were uninterested in me for "me." I could tell pretty well which was which.

To summarize: be yourself. If you recognize the person, don't try to pretend you don't - but don't expect them to be like their character or public persona, either. And don't assume that they're going to be ecstatic to interact with you, just because you are with them. Remember: you hardly ever meet famous people, but they probably meet fans all the time.
