Celebrities are scattered all around
the world, while some may require the glitz and pizzazz of the large
centers, others shy away from the hype in search of tranquility. As
fans, we sometimes have encounters with them and see that some are
rather down to earth, while others are quite deserving of their
reputations.
So here I have compiled a list of
cities where you will see your share of stars. So while touring the
cities I mentioned below do take a camera and your autograph book with
yourself. They might get handy.
10. Paris, France
Too bad you cannot tell who is a star
and who is not while you’re in Paris, because the City of Lights serves
as the home to many European and North American celebrities. The city’s
long history, great restaurants and other amenities make it a choice
for many stars. Of course, it is hard to spot celebs in Paris since
everyone seems to have an attitude.
9. New Orleans, Louisiana
You know, this one may surprise you,
but probably because you are too smashed out of your mind to notice
much. Every time I go down to New Orleans, I hobnob with the loudest
and wildest of celebrities. Their names? Sorry, I have been sworn to
secrecy.
8. Vancouver, British Columbia
Vancouver ranks amongst one of the
busiest cities in terms of film production. It is therefore no surprise
that Vancouver is either a temporary or permanent home to celebrities
from both sides of the border, from The X-Files days, to the movies
that shoot there day in and day out.
7. London, United Kingdom
London is a bustling city that doesn’t
sleep, and between the actors, musicians and models walking the
streets, London will leave you star-struck, if you know the right spots
to hit, of course. However, it is true that many seek the more tranquil
pace of neighboring Dublin, Ireland. But hey, most still crave the
maddening noise of London.
6. Las Vegas, Nevada
Between the shows, gambling, clubs, and
various forms of escapism, expect to see the rich and famous here and
there. Actually, chances are that you will fail to socialize in any of
the high-roller joints, but hey, at least you can say you saw Wayne
Newton! Where you’re most likely to spot everyone from Pamela to Bruce…
5. Monte Carlo, Monaco
This tax haven along the French Riviera
has always been a favorite destination for the rich and famous; can’t
blame them. Where else can you gamble away those $20 million dollars,
sip on martinis and live tax-free? It’s often called Millionaires
playground.
4. New York City, New York
Is there any doubt that the Big Apple
makes the list? Of course, I laugh any time I see New York on any list,
after all, when a city has 20 million people, you would expect it to
have enough of anything. If you’re not spotting celebrities at Broadway
shows or walking through Central Park, you’re seeing the millions of
hopefuls who flock there to be discovered.
3. Milan, Italy
The city is home to many a famous
model, and wherever you see models, you are more than likely to spot
celebrities (especially males) flocking to wine, dine and…
2. Miami, Florida
South Beach is heaven on earth. Whether
you stroll by News Café on Ocean Drive or hit any spot on Lincoln
Avenue, you are sure to run into one celeb or another. And when the sun
sets, hit any of the following spots — Level, Crowbar, Space, Pearl, or
Opium — and you’re sure to encounter athletes, singers, actors, and
many wannabes.
1. Southern California
Burbank, LA, Hollywood, Malibu, Santa
Monica… the list can go on. Obviously, if the center of the
“entertainment” world is Hollywood, then chances are that its
neighboring cities will have their share of stars and silicon-filled
look-alikes.
