When people think about going to Heaven, they often imagine reconnecting with family and close friends — the loved ones they actually spent their lives with. But when deceased celebrities are depicted in Heaven, they are usually hanging out with other famous people. This especially applies if the celebrities are in similar fields: artists, musicians, inventors, political leaders. They may want to trade stories and learn from each other. Also, given the time gap between the celebrities, some of them may be Fanboying. The idea of "Rock and Roll Heaven" gets particular attention, due to all the rockers who went out in their prime, and just how awesome it would be. Even within that, expect at least one of a certain group. If the deceased celebrities are Real Life Relatives, then this is a Justified Trope, and expect their reconnection in Heaven to be mentioned a lot in real-life obituaries. This tends to overlap with Fluffy Cloud Heaven, as in the stock portrayal of the departed celebrities meeting up by the Pearly Gates. Might be the premise of a bittersweet Real-Person Fic, surrogate character optional. Obviously, the people here are Dead to Begin With. See also Together in Death, Afterlife Welcome, and Ghost Reunion Ending. If this is portrayed in a poem or song, it is likely a Celebrity Elegy. If it turns out they're not really dead, then it could be a case of Elvis Lives. See also Jury of the Damned, in which infamous celebrities and historical figures gather together to serve on a jury. Compare In the Past, Everyone Will Be Famous, where well-known figures similarly congregate during their lifetimes. |

Deconstructed in Dork Tower, when a guy says David Bowie, Lemmy, Glenn Frey and Prince are "jamming together now, up in heaven", and Matt questions why they'd be doing that when they never performed together in life. | |

The Simpsons loves this trope: Homer's dream of Heaven in "Homer the Heretic" includes Jimi Hendrix and Isaac Newton playing air hockey. In "Bart the Fink", Homer describes how Krusty is enjoying Heaven with all the other celebrities, like John Dillinger, Ty Cobb, and Josef Stalin. In the Treehouse of Horror XIX segment, "How to Get Ahead in Dead-vertising", Homer (accidentally) kills Krusty and is then hired to kill a bunch of other celebrities — George Clooney, Prince, Neil Armstrong — who all end up going to "Celebrity Heaven". They and other celebrities — including John Wayne, George Washington, and John Lennon — return to Earth to kill Homer. The page image is from "Bart's Not Dead," where Bart fakes a near-death experience. Later, when he actually does have a vision of Heaven, it includes a shot of "Jewish Heaven," shown above. A more downplayed example, in which celebrities are buried together rather being in Heaven together: When Bart and Lisa visit a graveyard in "Sideshow Bob Roberts", they see gravestones of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper, who all died in the same plane crash together. |

This Is the End is a justified example, as the main protagonists are celebrities, who are friends in real life (it's pretty much Judd Apatow's Production Posse without Judd Apatow) playing themselves as as they try to survive through the apocalypse. Those who make it into Heaven naturally hang out with each other and enjoy a Dance Party Ending with the Backstreet Boys performing "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)". | |

Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer: When Grandpa doesn't yet know that Grandma survived the reindeer attack, he sings (to Cousin Mel's annoyance) about how he's convinced that "Grandma's spending Christmas with the superstars" and being consoled by Elvis Presley. | |

The Divine Comedy does a Renaissance-era version of this, both played straight and inverted, as Dante Alighieri goes into detail on which real-life historical figures wound up in heaven, hell, or purgatory. A whole lot of Take Thats are aimed at those who wound up in hell. | |

MAD had a short-lived series called "The 27 Club" by Luke Mcgarry, taking place in Rock and Roll Heaven where all the late, great musicians hang out. The titular club are not only best friends, they have superpowers and can travel back to Earth to fight crime. Only, Robert Johnson is in the other place. It was canned prior to the 2019 reboot, though the artist has announced in 2021 he’s working on new strips, possibly for his own indie mag. | |

Inverted in Super Columbine Massacre RPG!. The second half of the game takes place in Hell, and while you're there, you get to visit an Island of Lost Souls, where you meet historical figures like Friedrich Nietzsche (who you have to speak with to progress further), John Lennon, Richard Nixon, Malcolm X, Confucius, JonBenét Ramsey, Robert Oppenheimer (who tells the player that "if inventing the atomic bomb doesn't land you down here, what possibly could?"), and a victim of the Challenger explosion (who thinks that his lustful thoughts about Christa McAuliffe got him sent to Hell). You also encounter a Roswell alien, Santa Claus, and fictional characters like Darth Vader, Bart Simpson, Mega Man, and Mario. And of course, there's the game's Villain Protagonists, the Columbine shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, who were both sent to Hell for their killing spree. | |
