Celebrities A/V systems - any interest?


I am thinking of writing magazine articles on the audio system's of famous people, complete with pictures and their personal philosophies/tastes in music and equipment -- if I can find a few who are willing to strut their stuff.

First of all, would you as audiophiles be interested in seeing such a feature?

Secondly, do you think that celebs would be willing to cooperate or would they see potential conflicts with themselves being viewed as endorsing products and so forth?

Does anyone remember the feature that Stereophile (or maybe Fi) ran on Fabio's outrageous Krell/Martin Logan/Infinity system a couple of years ago? I thought that was wild -- Infinity IRSes as rear channels, REALLY!

All comments are welcome, but be nice. :) If there are any famous or relatively well-known people reading this who would be interested or could offer me some insight, by all means feel free to e-mail me through Audiogon.

I love watching MTV's "Cribs" for this reason. Most "musicians" that are on MTV have poor, poor systems. One of the backstreet boys showed off his "over the top" Onkyo/Pioneer system...it was a joke. One of the other boys from that band did have a fairly decent Krell KAV/B&W based home theater... Tommy Lee looked to have a system with mostly Meridian gear, although I couldn't tell very well.

I very much enjoy watching for hi-fi in Movies. Terrible movies especially. In the recent movie "Loser" (which is TERRIBLE), four dorm-mates have a pair of Martin Logans up against the wall in this cramped bedroom...powered by an Aiwa Boombox. In "What Lies Beneath," Harrison Ford owns a fairly standard system made up of McIntosh gear, as does Jack Nickolson in "As good as it gets." The best system I've ever seen in a movie, though, has to be Mel Gibson's in "What Women Want." Although there's two of everything on his rack (Half a no.32 preamp, and a no.380 as well), it's a well set up Levinson/Revel system (obviously a madrigal add, but I wouldn't mind owning this system). Cheers!
I believe Michael Jordan has a pair of Wilson Watt speakers. I dont know what his assosiated equipment is. It is interesting seeing what gear gets thrown into movies and tvs. The FRIENDS males also have a small Logan speaker. Ive seen a LINN turntable in a tv commercial. I believe Kim Cattrall from Sex in the City is now married to Mark Levinson, you could do a before and after system. Maybe she owned a Krell based rig and now has a nice Cello/Red Rose ensemble.
I noticed that in "What Women Want" as well, the system was what made me watch the movie more then once!! Also there is an OK Martin Logan set up in "The Skulls" in Paul Walkers dorm room.
Guys, thank you for your comments and the tips on the systems featured in the movies. I seem to remember being impressed with Mel Gibson's rig in "What Women Want". I'll have to go back and watch that again. All of you have given me some food for thought and a couple of ideas to consider.
maybe if more famous people were interested in high end, more people would buy high end audio. i think it could be good for the hobby. i wonder what arnold has. if fabio had a giant rug and some tube research, he would never leave home.
