How to Meet Celebrities

The A-list glamor of Hollywood is hard to ignore. From gossip magazines to fan sites to entertainment television, it's easier than ever to immerse ourselves in the world of celebrity. For the overly curious, this isn't always enough. Follow the below steps to increase your chances of an up close and personal look at your favorite stars.

Things You'll Need

• Computer with Internet access
• Gossip magazines

Instructions

1. Go to the personal web pages of your favorite stars. Look for any upcoming appearances at a location near you.

2. Read gossip magazines and take note of restaurants, bars and clubs where celebrities flock. While most venues will be in major cities, stars who are shooting on location often visit neighborhood eateries and night-life spots.

3. Read fan Internet blogs. These often provide information on when and where movies and television shows are shooting.

4. Ask if they offer tours if you live near a movie production studio.

5. Try to get an assignment from a national newspaper or magazine to cover a star-studded event if you have writing or photography skills. This will give you reliable access to the event and a paycheck.

Tips & Warnings

• Be brief in your introduction to a celebrity. Don't engage him in long conversation if you sense he's looking for a way out.

• Stalking is a serious offense and should not be undertaken for any reason.
