* Music/DavidBowie's ConceptAlbum ''1. Outside'' plays with this via "The Diary of Nathan Adler", a short story setting up the album's plot and characters (played by Bowie) and "written" by one of them. The album was recorded in 1995 and set in a 1999 where "art-crime" runs rampant; in a brief history of the shocking art (performance and otherwise) that paved the way for this trend, Adler not only mentions RealLife artists such as Chris Burden and Damien Hurst, but notes that in TheSeventies "Bowie the singer remarked on a coupla goons who frequented the Berlin bars wearing dull surgery regalia..." No first name is given, so this singer may or may not be David (who ''did'' live in Berlin for a time in the late '70s)...
* The Music/BeastieBoys' ''Fight For Your right Revisited'' features the 1986 Beastie Boys played by Creator/SethRogen, Creator/ElijahWood and Danny Macbride, their ''future'' versions played by Creator/WillFerrell, Creator/JohnCReilly and Creator/JackBlack as well as the real Beastie Boys themselves ''as the cops arresting the former six at the end.''

* In ''Literature/JeevesAndTheFeudalSpirit'', discussing his new facial hair, Bertie argues that Creator/DavidNiven looks dashing and debonair with his mustache. Jeeves replies that he’s enjoyed several of Mr. Niven’s films, but Niven doesn’t look anything like Bertie. One wonders what either of them thinks about the 1936 InNameOnly adaptation of ''Literature/ThankYouJeeves'', in which Niven plays the role of Bertie Wooster. (Considering that Creator/PGWodehouse hated [[DisownedAdaptation the finished product]], this probably doubles as a TakeThat.)
