I think they'd most likely be dismissed from duty due to their celebrity status and the unnecessary attention it would draw to the case.
I'm sure in the past though there have been celebrities that have been summoned for duty.

I would imagine they would, many of them appear on the electoral register under their real name, and the clerks in the courts wouldn't recognise them by their stage names. My parents were never called up for jury service, they would have decided that guilty people are guilty without any do-gooder sympathetic feelings.

Ive never thought about it.I suppose they would be excused because they may draw too much attention to the case and the jury might not be concentrating etc.
