Celebs in Azeroth?

With
over 5 million subscribers to World of Warcraft, I guess it's not too surprising just from a numbers perspective that a
few celebrities would get in on the action. Well, maybe celebrity is a bit of a loose term for a girl who had a
bit part on Buffy the Vampire Slayer & did some USPS commercials, but still, liquidgeneration.com has an
interesting article on actress Felicia Day, a
self-avowed WoW fan (and alleged level-60 Warlock).I know there are a lot of famous folks who are big video game fans, and WoW is a big game with a huge number of players, but it's kind of a cool thought that the Mage you team up with might just be Dave Chappelle (a rumored WoW player) or the like. Then again, with my luck, I'd be more likely to end up teaming with Joey Buttafucco...

Dave Chappelle said he plays according to reports: http://www.gamespot.com/news/2005/06/29/news_6128319.html
""You know what I've been playing a lot of?" the comedian reportedly asked the crowd. "World of Warcraft!" When a few cheers broke out, he reportedly responded, "I knew I had some geek brothers and sisters up in here!" Chappelle also was said to have expressed his amusement seeing WoW characters with names referring to his most famous sketches, including a rogue with a name inspired by the famous "I'm Rick James, B****" sketch."

That's so awesome! I wonder if Bill Gates is a player, lol, he could be the richest player on WoW (buying gold).

Jonathan Davis (lead singer of Korn) plays. He has a horde guild and a undead warrior i believe. He was at blizzcon and MTV did a report about it.

Not so very famous but the singer for the old Boston hardcore band Slapshot plays on Cenarion Circle.
