To the OP: If you are talking about flavour-of-the-month-pop-culture-celebrities, I hope not. I want to watch hockey not Entertainment Tonight. For me the hockey players are the stars.

Rihanna and Drake = Too high profile and relevant for NHL
Now
Ashanti + Ja Rule = NHL ticket right there
Both washed up and irrelavant , perfect for NHL IMO

A lot of teams don't have any high profile fans, but off the top of my head:
Leafs - Justin Bieber
Ducks - Snoop Dogg
Canucks - Nelly Furtado
Red Wings - Kristen Bell
Devils/Oilers - Kevin Smith
Thrashers - Lil Jon
Bruins- Dennis Leary
Devils- Shaq
Rangers- Adam Sandler, Kevin Smith

Carrie Underwood > Mike Fisher in terms of celebrity status and star power.
Nobody outside of hockey knew who Mike Fisher was until he married her.
So?Rihanna, and Drake were performing at the NBA All-Star Game last night.
Who cares? Nobody's going to watch a hockey game for the sake of a 5-minute pop concert in the middle of it. Besides, what would they do, sing while riding around on the zamboni?Can the NHL attract these big names or others to there events?
Imagine singing School's Out with Alice at a hockey game. ;-)
Alice Cooper sang between periods at Coyotes game I attended pre-Jobing.com. IIRC, he's a local in Arizona.
Probably best to accept it's lameness and not even try.
