Starstruck lady ‘basher’

Asian-gal hater’s celebrity blog

The man wanted for a series of violent attacks on Asian women in Manhattan kept a rambling blog called “Mr. Talented,” whose entries range from selfpityin­g, suicidal rants to ecstatic selfies with celebritie­s.

Tracy Morgan, Russell Crowe, Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler are among the stars that spotlightl­oving hatebash suspect Tyrelle Shaw, 25, has buttonhole­d and posted on his blog.

The selfdescri­bed violent fiend — who cops are still seeking to question — also details what he calls his vendetta against the Asian women who he believes have romantical­ly rejected him.

His mission of revenge? “Bash 1 Million Noses” of Asian women, he blogged. He calls it “The Nose Game.” So far, Shaw — thanks to his hatespewin­g blog posts — is wanted for questionin­g in four attacks on Asian women.

The attacker has approached his victims in Chinatown, Little Italy, Midtown and the Upper East Side, striking them in the face with a hard object he carries in a plastic grocery bag.

Shaw is a troubled former FIT art student who grew up in a group home and has fixated on Asian women since his teens, say people who know him.

For a while, his passion was selling novelty bow ties online.

One exgirlfrie­nd told The Post she was shocked when Shaw messaged her on Facebook out of the blue this week.

Shaw, who’d dated her when she was 16 and he was 17, shared with her a live video of himself wearing a black ski mask and a noose around his neck.

When she begged him not to kill himself, he said, “Ok, I’ll take it off,” recalled the shaken ex, who asked to be identified as Ciara, 24, of Dutchess County.

“You might be the only person that could save my life . . . I don’t want to live in reality; I don’t want to be here anymore. My life is hard. I’m lost with what’s going on,” he wrote the woman on Facebook Tuesday night.

When he demanded she meet him at midnight in Central Park, she balked, suggesting Wednesday morning instead. She hasn’t heard from him since.

Meanwhile, an Upper West Side man who lived with Shaw seven years ago said the suspect grew up in the Children’s Village group home after his drugdepend­ent mom couldn’t raise him. The exroomie, who asked not to be named, said Shaw still pined for an older Japanese girlfriend he dated at age 18. “She turned on him and hated him,” he said, calling Shaw “the most nonviolent guy that I can imagine.”
