Ever wonder how some autograph hunters know where to find a celebrity? Truth be told, meeting Hollywood celebrities in Los Angeles is so simple - you need to know where to look.
Find a Celebrity at Work
Almost all Hollywood celebrities are employed by the movie industry. It would make sense to hunt down the celebrity of choice simply by showing up at their job site. Doing so is made easy by On Location Vacations, a website that caters to the movie buff with a travel budget. Publishing daily L.A. filming locations for shows such as BFF and Baby, it is easy to find a celebrity at work.
Look for Guys with Cameras and Lenses
A cluster of folks carrying cameras and waiting in front of a business, restaurant or home is a good sign that Hollywood celebrities may be around. If you have the time, stick around to see if someone comes out. Ask one of the supposed paparazzi and ask them whom they're after.
Go to Church
There are plenty of L.A. houses of worship that the celebs frequent. A good example is St. Charles Catholic Church, which frequently hosts celebrity funerals. Sunday attendees report noting Andy Garcia, Frankie Avalon, Angela and Veronica Cartwright as well as Bob Gunton in the audience. Remember: no matter how much Hollywood celebrities may court the limelight, they do draw the line at handing out autographs when going to mass. DONT PESTER THEM.
Grab a Bite to Eat
If you have time and a bit of money, learning how to meet a celebrity can be as easy as grabbing a bite to eat in downtown L.A. The Grove is generally a hot ticket for celeb sightings, as are the 'hip' eateries, such as Pinks Hot Dogs. Choosing to go this route is a hit or miss and frequently has you jostling for a good spot with paparazzi.
They're Walking Straight towards you
Two big-time Hollywood celebrities are walking right at you; what should you do? When you find a celebrity, do not make a nuisance of yourself. Moreover, do not try to meet celebrities by following them around. The LAPD does not take kindly to stalkers.
Instead, evaluate the situation and - if appropriate - politely introduce yourself, explain why you like their work and be prepared to keep it short and move on. It is okay to ask for an autograph but do not be offended if a celeb mom or dad has to rush off. After all, they have families commitments too.
