Famous entertainers often stay at hotels while traveling, but that can put them at increased risk for attracting unwanted attention from paparazzi — or even repeated unwanted encounters with fans. So when checking in, many celebrities have developed alter egos that allow them to stay at hotels and stay under the radar.
Many celebrities aliases were leaked back in2014, so the brightest stars among us have very likely changed theirs. But that doesn't make the names any less telling.
For example, a celebrity who names himself after a favorite character may identify deeply with certain personality traits. Or someone who uses a loved one’s name may want to keep their family close while on the road. But, then again, maybe there’s not all that much depth to these fake names. There are also celebrities who use their hotel aliases as an opportunity for a joke and nothing more.
Beyoncé
When trying to go undercover, Mrs. Carter knows to pick a name that could be anybody on the planet: “Ingrid Jackson.”
Kim Kardashian
When checking into hotels, Kim Kardashian doesn't seem to choose the most discrete names. Which, of course, is very fitting. She has sometimes gone by the name of her favorite character “Princess Jasmine” to avoid detection.
Ice Cube
When checking into hotels, Ice Cube just used his real name: O’Shea Jackson can inconspicuously slip in and out of hotels. He also sometimes goes by “Darius Stone,” his character’s name in the “xXx” movies.
