Adam- you're right about the celebrity thing, but provenance should hold more weight if the collector was an expert in his field. One example of a crossover is Adolphe Menjou, who was an accomplished movie star in the 1930's and was also considered one of the foremost numismatic experts, having built an incredible coin collection. I think most celebrity collectors have more money than knowledge, and collect just for the fun of it. Nothing wrong with that.
