    New York and Los Angeles celebrity: An actor, heiress, singer or reality star who often graces the covers of national magazines and is known throughout the country. As a result, nonfamous residents will never get the best table at a restaurant.

    See: Scarlett Johansson, Paris Hilton, Justin Timberlake, Snooki.

    Chicago celebrity: Local-news personality, crazed Cubs fan, nightclub owner or reality star from six seasons ago who often graces the RedEye and is known throughout the 312 and 773 area codes. As a result, any Chicago resident can get the best table at a restaurant—unless a New York or Los Angeles celebrity is visiting.

    See: Tom Skilling, Ronnie Woo Woo, Billy Dec, Bill Rancic.
