Most Coveted ‘Rolodex’
Editors: Adam Blackstone
If you don’t know this Middletown resident by name, you likely know his work. The Grammy-nominated multi-instrumentalist and musical director conceptualizes and oversees live acts for such A-list performers as Justin Timberlake, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, late-night TV hosts and others. He’s also helped shape major shows like the Grammy, BET and Oscar awards, and he’s been the vision behind the Super Bowl Halftime Show for the past five years. Despite Blackstone’s profound talents and enviable roster of colleagues, he’s one of the most humble people we’ve ever met—on and off the red carpet.
Most Famous Person in Delaware
Editors: Tie, President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and Aubrey Plaza
With apologies to Ryan Phillippe, Valerie Bertinelli and DJ Jazzy Jeff, the most famous Delawareans are Joe Biden and actress Aubrey Plaza. That said, Plaza took home the honors in a local poll, which the leader of the free world acknowledged in a tongue-in-cheek video when Plaza hosted Saturday Night Live. Conceded Biden: “We all know you’re the most famous person in Delaware.”
