Meet a Famous Person
Meeting a famous person can be a challenge, but it's not impossible. Celebrities are not always surrounded by paparazzi or an entourage. Sometimes they just need to get out for a while like anyone else. If any famous people are known to frequent your area, with vigilance and persistence, you can eventually pinpoint the places they are likely to show up, and find the prime moment to get close enough to them to say hello.
Instructions
1. Find out what famous people live in or frequent your area. Do research on the Internet, read fan magazines or gossip columnists, and make a list of famous people that have been spotted occasionally in your area. While this may be easy if you live in a big city like New York or Los Angeles, even in a small town you might find that there are some celebrities who have a summer home nearby, a favorite vacation spot, or family that they visit on a regular basis.
2. Ask around. Talk to your friends, relatives, restaurant waiters and bartenders at local hot spots, hair dressers or sales people at high-end clothing stores if they've ever seen any famous people in town. Name a few people on your list in casual conversation to try and find out where and when famous people may have been spotted. Take notes when you leave so you can try to look for patterns.
3. Spend time in any restaurants, shops, clubs, salons or other places if you find out famous people frequent them. Even if you don't see a celebrity on your first few visits, try to become friendly with the people who work there. Don't pester people, but if they become friendly with you, they might be willing to tell you when the best times to visit would be.
4. Volunteer or get a job at places where famous people regularly appear at your town. You might volunteer to be an usher at a concert hall or theater where celebrities regularly perform, get a job in a hotels where famous people often stay when visiting your area, or find work at a radio or television station where they may go for interviews or appearances.
5. Get to know the streets where there may be private parking or access doors for celebrities, such as stage doors at the concert hall or VIP entrances in hotels. Keep your eyes and ears open for when a famous person is coming to town, and scan local newspapers for scheduled interviews and shows. Hang around these entrances and exits on the days you expect them to show up.
6. Be patient and keep trying. Be respectful and friendly to anyone that works anywhere famous people might go. If you get too excited or look like a stalker, they may ask you to leave.
7. Be polite if you do spot a famous person and be considerate of their privacy. Approach them calmly if you can, but don't push yourself on them to forcefully. It's better to let them go on their way if they look like they are frazzled or in a hurry than to raise alarms and get yourself banned from prime celebrity hot spots.
