Celebrity Superfan Vanessa Sky Ellis spends up to 12 hours a day hunting for famous faces.
She has been pictured with a wealth of A list stars including Lady Gaga, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp and sometimes spends up to 12 hours a day hunting down her favourite celebrities. And superfan Vanessa Sky Ellis’s efforts are paying dividends – she has amassed a staggering 10,000 ‘selfies’ of her with a variety of famous faces. Legendary pop singer Cher even knows the name of the 26-year-old barmaid, who says that celeb spotting is ‘the most important thing’ in her life.

The New yorker spends time every day on the lookout for the cream of Hollywood and beyond having inherited her unusual hobby from her mother Annette, who died of a heart attack in 2007. Vanessa said: ‘I’ve waited outside hotels for celebrities to come out for 12 hours before – but there’s no better feeling than when you meet them.

And it’s not only Hollywood A listers than get her attention. She said: ‘One time I waited outside a hotel for twelve hours for Vanilla Ice. I love Vanilla Ice. ‘While I was waiting I got ten celebrities, including Mike Tyson, so at least I was getting something.’ But while Vanessa shares her passion with a small group of autograph and celebrity enthusiasts, many people see her hobby as extreme.

Vanessa says: ‘I don’t think I’ll ever stop getting celebrities. ‘My dad doesn’t care for it too much – he just wants to make sure I have a job to support myself. ‘I try to fit my work around hunting for celebrities. Sometimes you just have to go with just two hours sleep, but you know what, you’re still doing what you love.’
