For a while now I've always wanted to be a personal assistant especially celebrities because I never gossip or slander, I love to help people, I love to travel and the sorts. I always wanted to be an assistant of something like Administrative or Personal assistant. I am very trustworthy too, and alot of people confide in me their personal secrets. I just love doing things for others.
Suggestions on how to get started?
My biggest obligation is I don't know how to drive yet and I know you MUST know how to drive.
Tell me how I can start a network or get to know the rich and famous, where I need to go and so forth. Thanks!

You need good organizational skills and you need to have credentials that prove you do. I know that there is training and certification in project management through the PMI.org organization. This may be overkill, but something like this would probably be of use to you.
I'm enclosing a link (below) to a story about Brian Nelson, Alice Cooper's personal assistant and the largest collector of Alice Cooper stuff in the world. This is a pretty inspirational story about a guy who was an Alice Cooper fan and that ended up becoming his personal assistant. Whether or not you like Alice Cooper is irrelevant to this story. It tells how a fan got on the inside and became a personal assistant. So, it can be done.

Well, you are going to have to get some "personal assistant" training. You can go to school for Administration and get a job
as an administrative assistant. In those jobs there is alot of personal care to your boss.....travel planning, scheduling appts, etc. Once you get some good experience under your belt you'll be set.
How to get to the rich & famous.........I have NO IDEA!!!
Well, actually, you would need to send in your resume w/ letters
of recommendation.

In my opinion get to know the rich and famous is not an easy task, for the simple reason that they normally have body guards, you can't get close, also you would have to be rich in order to socialize with them celebrities, maybe if you are recommended by an associate of them people you can apply for the assistant position you are after...
