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.

Hey Guys,
Don't forget (although most of us have) about the Krell system that the prostitute stoll from the dork that acted opposite Sandra Bullock in "Love Potion #9." It was mildly amusing that a lab-rat (as he was portrayed as) could afford all those Krell pieces at such a young age.

It would be a good coffee table book for sure, a few years ago my brother and his friend published a book about band names and how they came about, or what they meant, like the new yard birds was Led Zepplins original name untill Keith Moon said the band would go over like a lead zepplin..stuff like that, it was a cool book.

A book about the origins of band names would be a helluva lot more interesting to me than a book about celebrities' audio systems.

When I visited Thiel Audio,Shari shared with me Janet Jackson ordered a pair 2.4's in custom pink finish.
She also told me, Jerry Seinfeld ordered 3 pair of 2.4's in custom chrome finish to have in his car garage..no lie
