Ask A Question
Do Stars Use Their Real Names When Traveling?

When celebs travel do they write their names and addresses on their luggage tags?
—Tuttle, via Twitter
God bless Twitter and the loopy creativity it feeds. Well, you asked. I answer. And the answer is no.
They do write on the tags, often in their very own legendary hand, but as for what they write, it isn't always their real names. Instead, celebrities use aliases, and sometimes rather fanciful ones.
Want an example? Care to guess who likes to go by "Anastacia Beaverhousen"?
Let's start with Mya.
"I travel with Mya all the time," her marketing manager, Mike Killmon, tells me. "I won't give away our most recent names, but for years, Mya and I were Anastacia Beaverhousen and Jack McFarland."
Yes. That was the name on Mya's hotel reservations. And the name on her luggage tags, which Killmon has seen, and often picked up, on Mya's behalf, at airports.
(Many celebrities, in general, travel under assumed names. Publicist Nancy Besa, who has traveled extensively with Fergie—the real duchess, not the Black-Eyed Pea—says her royal companion often checked into hotels under an alias to protect privacy.)
As for me, when I travel I prefer the moniker Ted Casablanca. Gets me free mai tais and appletinis everywhere I go.
