Ah, the friendly neighborhood drinking hole. In one way or another, they're there to give you that much needed morning/evening buzz before/after work or school.

It's probably hard for people who are in the celeb stratosphere and have to have an entourage and a gated home, like Madonna or Leonardo DiCaprio or Michael Jackson. People who aren't exactly going out to bars with friends or shopping or going to the movies down the street. But it can also be hard for other celebs.

a piece for
New York mag's ettiquette issue, on how to not alienate a celeb if you see one out somewhere. It's pretty funny, but pretty accurate too.
My favorite part is when Cross tells the story of how he was standing at a bar one time, and a guy came up to him, snapped his fingers in his face and yelled, "Name!"
Jeez.
