Then start looking for Chandler Bing. Matthew Perry, who played Bing on the TV show \u201cFriends,\u201d let the world know in a recent interview that Bieber, the pop sensation, checks into hotels using the character\u2019s name as his alias.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 You might be surprised to know how many famous people you can encounter, or reach via telephone, at hotels. When a world famous singing star like Bieber comes to town on a concert tour, a little local knowledge and common sense can lead star-seekers to celebrity digs. In order to avoid autograph seekers, paparazzi, and late night calls from swooning teens, \u201cBieber\u201d becomes \u201cBing\u201d on the hotel registry \u2013 so friends with the assumed name, and presumably his parents, can still reach him.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 According to the New York Post, Bieber is not the only notable with a playful nom de plume. Elton John has used \u201cBobo Latrine.\u201d Brad Pitt has checked in as \u201cBryce Pilaf\u201d and would have to reach his lover Angelina Jolie by asking for \u201cMiss Lollypop.\u201d Ironically, Pitt\u2019s ex-wife, Jennifer Aniston\u2019s alias is \u201cMrs. Smith,\u201d a wry choice, since her husband met Jolie while shooting the film \u201cMr. and Mrs. Smith.\u201d<br \/>\nIf you\u2019d asked for the room of \u201cMr. Satan,\u201d you may well have been connected to Johnny Depp. Huey Lewis claimed to be \u201cJacques Strapp\u201d while Kate Beckinsale fashioned herself \u201cSigourney Beaver.\u201d Diana Ross is \u201cMiss Orange.\u201d Tiger Woods has been known as \u201cB. Simpson.\u201d<br \/>\nNew York Yankee slugger Alex Rodriguez supposedly has used his first and middle name: Alex Emanuel. Baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson, known as \u201cMr. October,\u201d registers with his real name: Reggie Jackson.<br \/>\nIf you\u2019re hoping to catch a glimpse of Bieber during his upcoming tour in March and April, you\u2019ll need to sleuth around hotels in cities including Dublin, London, Paris, and Sydney. As a travel writer lucky enough to have visited these cities, my guess is that in Dublin, Bieber will cool his tennis-shoed heels in a boutique hotel built in 1852 on the River Liffey called: The Clarence \u2013 now renovated and owned by Bono and his Irish rock group U2.<br \/>\nI would suggest 16-year-old Bieber take in a bit of history by lodging in London\u2019s Langham Hotel, just across from BBC radio headquarters. The iconic hotel was good enough for American divorcee Wallis Simpson while she was consorting with the future King Edward, as depicted in the award-winning film \u201cThe King\u2019s Speech.\u201d The Langham was also used in the 007 movie \u201cGoldeneye.\u201d<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Guests of the stately Hotel de Crillon, in Paris, used to be able to view beheadings from its windows, and I once sat next to Billy Joel in the hotel\u2019s cocktail lounge, but the nearby Hotel Ritz was the last spot paparazzi photographed Princess Diana.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Down Under, there is hardly a better view for Bieber than the one provided by the high-rise Four Seasons Sydney, where a skyline suite provides a panorama of the billowing roof of the iconic Opera House and the Sydney Harbor Bridge.<br \/>\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 With this list of fantastic hotels, if you can\u2019t meet Justin Bieber, at least you can live like him! Why not even create your own alias for a real getaway feeling?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-710    aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/traveltattler\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/34\/2011\/02\/justin.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"179\" height=\"282\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Do you want to meet Justin Bieber?
