Where are They?</strong></p><p>Google Maps has many permutations that users can access.  Most often, this is great for getting from one place to another.  Sometimes the GPS device doesn’t quite get you on target and sometimes Google Maps doesn’t either.  Using this service for directions to specific locations is a fantastic thing in many ways.</p><p>Here is another map application called Celebrity Maps.  This may seem absurd to some and interesting to others, but you can locate celebrity home addresses using this service.  What good these addresses will do you is uncertain, but it is more than likely that any celebrity has anticipated this and perhaps just playing around with the idea on the internet is better than risking violent guard dogs.  In other words, this is strictly for fun.</p><p>For access to Celebrity Maps, check here and just enter the name of the celebrity.  Find out where they live.  Maybe they live there frequently or they have other homes in more obscure locations to stay out of the public eye when they need to.  Should you happen to be in the area, at least you can drive by and take a few pictures.</p><p><a

You will, of course, get a slew of advertisements to go with it, so take it for what it is worth.  So are you looking for George Clooney’s house?  This much can be stated, but here is the address, compliments of Celebrity Maps:</p><p><a

Find Johnny Depp, Robert DeNiro, Richard Dreyfuss, Leonardo DiCaprio, you name it.  Select from a scroll list in the right pane and satisfy your curiosity.  Here is a tip: You may find misspellings of the celebrity names and even multiple instances of the names, so check them all to get all addresses and take it upon yourself to become a lay follower of the stars in your spare time.</p><p>For journalists, this is obviously a practical tool, especially those who are unfamiliar with the locations of these top Hollywood celebrities and they have articles to compose.  For the California or New York tourist, this may be your chance to catch a glimpse of one of your favorite stars without staring at an edition of People magazine while you are standing at the local supermarket waiting for the person in front of you to get their devices and cards together and get moving.</p><p>This is purely for fun.  Please don’t take this too far and realize that celebrities are people just like you are.  They just happen to have a job that includes being in the public eye.  There is nothing wrong with this interesting service.  It can be fun and entertaining to sit down and find out where the latest headlining stars call home.  You can send the links to friends, just as a giggle and simply enjoy a moment of satisfying your trivial curiosities when you are bored.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://www.ghacks.net/2005/11/14/celebrity-maps/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
