I'm hosting a 600 person charity event at www.bedny.com in NYC in Septermber. Does anyone know how to get A-listers to actually show up? I have been to many where they said they would show up, but just sent a check instead. If you have any good tips for making them keep their word I would really appreciate it.

Celebrities are lemmings. If you can get one or two A-listers to confirm, more will come. More than that, you will need one of them to talk to the press before the event. Maybe ask one of them (via his/her agent) to be your unofficial spokesperson. But you'll need to select someone who completely believes in your cause. Good luck!

Many are paid to show up at events such as opening events. Some are paid to walk in one door and out another.
I think it would be easier to get famous B list actors instead. This could be TV actors (The cast from The O.C., the cast from Lost) or former A listers (like Julia Roberts, Sharon Stone and Micheal Jordan) that need ways to be seen and stoke their ego. Right now Paris Hilton will not come to your party. She might 5 years from now when everyone things she is a has been and she still wants to see herself on at least on wireimage.com.

You'll just have to contact their agents and pray for the best. Their agents don't usually pass on the message unless it's for a worthy cause, but if it has enough support (and 600 people sounds alright) there is a chance that they may show up.

Contact the agent of whoever it is you want to attend. I don`t remember the web site, but there is one out there that lists celebs and stuff they will do, appearances and such. Try some random searches for it, you might get lucky.

What charity is it, when the charity is decided. Find out if any A LISTer has any patronage to that charity.

Well...the best thing to do would to get ahold of A-list agents and tell them about the cause..
