\"Book<\/a>“How can I contact Charlize Therone and ask her to endorse my new book on transgender children? I read that she announced that her daughter, 7, is transgender. “<\/p>\n

“Our non-profit wants to ask Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers to donate a signed jersey for our silent auction. Who do we call?”<\/p>\n

“I want to send a sample of my company’s new lip gloss to Kim Kardashian. Do you have her address?”<\/p>\n

*\u00a0 \u00a0 *\u00a0 \u00a0 *<\/strong><\/p>\n

Those are the types of questions I receive frequently. That’s why I’m glad that Jordan McAuley finally updated “The Celebrity Black Book 2019 (Deluxe Edition)”<\/a> [affiliate link]. It’s packed with more than 56,000 verified celebrity addresses for movie and TV stars, musicians, athletes, reality stars, politicians, world leaders, authors and writers, directors, producers and more.<\/p>\n

How Celebrities Can Help You<\/h2>\n

I haven’t checked the book, but I doubt you’ll find Kim Kardashian’s mobile number. The way to get through to most celebs is to penetrate their inner circle: the important people who decide whether your request is worthy of a second look. Those might include the celeb’s booker, manager, talent agent, assistant, lawyer, publicist spokesperson, who are much easier to reach.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/p>\n

Here are 13 ways to use the “Black Book” of celebrity contacts:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Autograph collectors<\/strong> can ask their favorite celebs for an autographed photo.<\/li>\n
  2. In charge of gathering items for your nonprofit’s silent auction?<\/strong> Your best bet is to find a celeb whose favorite charitable cause or issue dovetails with yours.<\/li>\n
  3. Authors can ask celebrities to endorse their book. These are called “book blurbs”<\/strong> and appear on the inside flaps or back cover.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  4. If you’re lobbying for legislation<\/strong> at the state or national levels, a celebrity who cares about the issue too might lend his or her name to your efforts.<\/li>\n
  5. Ditto for politicians. A congressman in California might be eager to support your cause<\/strong> in Delaware.\u00a0 \u00a0<\/li>\n
  6. You need a musician<\/strong> to perform at a special event.<\/li>\n
  7. You want your book to be turned into a movie and need contact information for Hollywood producers.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  8. You have an idea for a reality TV show.<\/li>\n
  9. You want a product placement.<\/strong> That means your product would appear on the set of a TV show or movie, and you’re willing to pay. If you don’t have money to pay, you can still ask that it be included. This is known as a “trade out.”<\/li>\n
  10. \u00a0If your library<\/strong> needs a current celebrity address book, this is a good choice.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  11. \u00a0Journalists<\/strong> and freelance writers who need to interview celebrities can save valuable time if they know the publicists’ telephone numbers or email addresses.\u00a0<\/li>\n
  12. PR pros<\/strong> who need to contact celebrities on behalf of their clients will find this a valuable resource.\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n
  13. If your print or broadcast media outlets<\/strong> receive lots of requests for celebrity contact information, tell people about this book.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
