Amazon Celebrity Wishlists

Spoofing Amazon wishlists, like Friendster profiles, is by now an ages-old tradition. And then, sprinkled among the jokes, it looks like even real celebrities (or semi-celebrities) want gifts too. In true psychotic fashion, an anonymous source has been accumulating these wishlists for a while now. Click "more" for the whole list.

Key:

y - Yes, this person has a wishlist.

i - The identity of the person in question is fuzzy (could be a namesake, could be someone playing around or using a pseudonym...). This is totally subjective as you can imagine, and I've made my best guess based on the sort of stuff in the wishlist, and whether they've listed a location or birthday that's consistent with what is known about the person.

d - Person is dead.

a - The person has provided a shipping address for gifts.
