Forget the star map (tacky) and bus tour (double tacky and boring). Famous folks are most efficiently found in their natural habitats, like these 15 surefire L.A. targets ...

OBSERVE AND JUDGE:
L.A. County Courthouse
It might not be the most glamorous or tasteful place to star-scope, but a trip to Downtown’s county courthouse virtually guarantees a run-in with legally tenuous celebrities. Britney, Paris, Rihanna and Chris Brown are all courthouse regulars, and hearing dates are conveniently public, so you can plan your day in court around your favorite famous outlaw. Get there early to grab a prime spot in front of the throng of paparazzi that swarms outside.
