No, it's nice turning up at things when celebrities happen to be there anyhow (well, it happens in London!), but to pay them to be there when they don't want to be is just weird. On the other hand, I have been known to drop a stand-up comic a line before I see them at a local theatre and see if they fancy a drink in the bar afterwards. They're usually grateful of some company rather than going straight back to a B&B.

Hrmm. No offense, but I suspect they hope you'll provide them company at the B&B.

If I was rich enough I'd pay to have a celebrity work my party, yeah. For instance having a comedian do a bit or maybe a rock star perform at my wedding sort of thing.
This, I would do.  Not the wedding part, but inviting a rock band to sing for a private party, yeah, if I had the cash, I would probably do it.

But paying stars just to show up and pretend to be my friend?  That's pathetic.

Sure why not if I had money to burn. It would be amusing.

Just one celebrity; probably not, but I'd pay to have both Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown at my party or maybe Rihanna and Chris Brown.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

I can't imagine paying money to have a celebrity (any celebrity, much less a girl whose claim to fame is getting punched on TV) deal with this. 

To be fair, hiring her is like hiring a stripper.

Nah.  Strippers at parties come with handlers, are usually professionals, and don't drink till they blackout and/or hook up with guests at the event.

Not really unless you are going to fuck them.

It's not in there, but I believe that was basic premise.

You're hiring the wrong strippers
