What is Facebait?
1.
A party, event or gathering known or designed to attract celeb-watchers whose sole desire is to be snapped by the paparazzi in close proximity to their favourite D-lister in the vain hope that their face appears in the corner of a photo in the next edition of Heat magazine.
China White at closing time, Leicester Square on new-release night, the BAFTAs etc. are all examples of facebait events containing the necessary ingredients of: d-list celebs, paparazzi and excitable and hormonally imbalanced fans.
