Why do “celebrities” wear sunglasses inside?
The same reason people wear their hats with the brim on backwards – they think it looks cool.
Originally, it was a way to disguise yourself, though I doubt it was very useful even then.
To cover bloodshot eyes and dilated pupils?

The most ridiculous person I ever saw in my life was when I lived in Vancouver, and I went to the Hard Rock Cafe. Corey Feldman (sp?) was there with this freaky yellow zoot suit style thing and a huge yellow brimmed hat that was the size of a sombrero. Also, you guessed it, yellow sunglasses on. It was late evening by this time. He looked like bozo the clown with a hangover.

allthough “looking good” or “cool” is indeed a factor in celebrity sunglass wearing, there is also a practical reason why tinted eyewear is a common enough trait in the pictures you see of the famous.
Having done some work in front of the camera I can tell you that the lights that paparatzi<SP> use to make a good image are blinding even in the daytime.
Imagine you are in your limo in the evening, windows tinted black of course, and you step out on the the red carpet of Le Serc to the teeming hndreds on flashbulbs and stand lights. Would you rather wear the shades or have your bloodshot eyes (bloodshot as a result of the lights) on the front of the next days papers?
Of course with some personalities I’m sure the shades serve many purposes. Robert Downey JR comes to mind.

Their future’s so bright, they gotta wear shades…
Because they’re stoned?
Celebrities wear sunglasses inside for the same reason they got into acting or music in the first place: to draw attention to themselves. The idea that they are somehow traveling “incognito” or that they don’t want to be recognized behind their Foster Grants is absurd.
Actors in my experience are shallow, vain creatures who desperately require acknowledgment from others to prop up their fragile self esteem.
Speaking of shallow, vain creatures: My ex-boss also saw Corey Feldman once in the late 80’s. This was while he was still a working actor (just after Lost Boys I think) and he was strutting through the Burbank airport surrounded by a group of (I suppose) agents and publicists, talking VERY LOUDLY about some deal that “They were jerking him around about”. Hs impression: “What an ass”.
Huh? What the hell man?
Y’all are dissing Corey Feldman? Screw You! he kicks ass!
In that movie, “Blown Away” he got to nail Nicole Eggert, who is totally hot, so Corey has to be cool.
Plus he was in Meatballs 4, where he was also nailing all the hotties.
Man that dude rocks!
Corey rules. Both of them! (Haim included)
They are trying to look as cool as aha.
