Okay, no offence to the icon maker, because they're nice icons and she's neither the first nor the last to create some like this, but the subject of the first couple of lines here kind of weirds me out.

It feels like that's slipping from the realms of fan to the land of the stalker.

If I was famous and people were using icons of my girlfriend, or my ex, (unless she was a celebrity in her own right - like a fellow musician, or an actress) I would feel really weird about it. I'd probably feel weird about it even if she was more famous than me, actually.

As a fan, even if I really liked Jeanae (and frankly, as a person - just as a girl from the Midwest called Jeanae - I'm entirely neutral about her because I don't know her), I wouldn't want to have an icon of her on my LJ. It just feels creepy to me...

I am agreeing with you, I personally would not, and do not want to have a icon of someones ex-girlfriend, who is not famous, other than being the girlfriend on my LJ..doesnt make sense to me.

I think there are one or two people (and I don't mean the icon maker, necessarily) who clamour after Jeanae, because she's accessible and they think that she will be able to get them in wth the crowd.

Personally, I really doubt that's ever going to happen.

But, having said that, if there are pictures of her on the internet, and most of these look like shoots rather than candids (I may be wrong here, I don't know) and someone thinks she's pretty and interesting looking, why not make icons of her?

Admittedly, it is a little weird seeing as she's someone's girlfriend and not a celebrity herself, but if these are shoot photos then she sort of *is* a celebrity, a teensy bit. If they were just candids then it would be super weird. As it is I still wouldn't do it myself but I can see why someone might...

They're MySpace type-shoots. Or ones she has her friends take. She's not a magazine-level celebrity; unless you count her being mentioned in a Fall Out Boy interview with Rolling Stone. She's just Wentz' ex.

I've also seen happy snaps that she has posted on her Buzznet or some such, with her draped over Pete, used as icons.

Yeah. Okay. Then that's just weird!

Agreed. It's creepy. She's not anybody except someone who dated/dates Pete - give the girl her privacy. It's not exactly like she's one of the scene queens and trying to be "famous".
