Can any famous person meet any other famous person they want? And if you’re a celeb and you want to go on a date with another celeb, is that a thing you can do? Do all famous people know each other, even if they don’t know each other? It feels that way sometimes, like all remotely “known” people share a single common, inescapable bond. They catch up at Oscar parties and gossip about other actors together on set, for example. We almost expect those scenarios to be the norm because aren’t all famous people, in a way, co-workers? (And, sure, you’re not supposed to date your co-workers, but … ) The business is celebrity – even across all concentrations: film, music, Instagram, whatever – and they’re all in one big Famous Person Yellow Pages (accessible only by famous people), just waiting to be introduced.
In 2018, when no one answers their phone, you can’t always call someone. Luckily there’s an easier way: Just put it into the universe that you want to meet the person. If you’re famous enough, it’ll probably work- in getting you some bonus tabloid press AND potentially becoming friends in real life. When Taylor Swift was on the cover of Vogue in 2012, she told the magazine, “I love Karlie Kloss. I want to bake cookies with her!” Kloss tweeted at Swift: “Your kitchen or mine? :)” They went on to forge a friendship so strong it was given the kind of couple name that is typically reserved for romantic relationships: Kaylor.
If you don’t think your celebrity friendships and relationships are being thoughtfully crafted by producers, handlers, you aren’t paying close enough attention. It really is all about who you know.
