Well, in about 4 billion years. You see the Andromeda galaxy is on a collision course with our galaxy at a speed of 68 mi/s. So in about 4 billion years the two galaxies will collide, and while the odds of direct impact between stars is actually quite small, the intense gravitational tides caused by the collision will cause stars to be ripped apart. Now back to our regularly scheduled insanity.
