Basically, I "cast" the celebrity personas in my stories, and they have no relationship to the real lives of the actors at all.
So, it would be similar to an original fic author saying "if my novel were a movie, this character would be played by actor X?" I've seen people do this occasionally with original characters in fanfiction (particularly in virtual season episodes). They never use the actor's name or real life persona, though, just create a character and stick something like "and Bob the OMC is played by George Clooney," in their author's notes.
