Education, experience and access are key. Starting at a community college or university with an administrative or business degree is a good plan. Sometimes you can get work study at your college in an office setting, this is a good springboard to working as an assistant once you get your degree. As far as capturing a position working for a celebrity, I would imagine you would have to be in an area where they congregate, maybe California? I would also do a little research into personal assistant vs. executive assistant. In any such role confidentiality, project management, event management, and attention to detail will be key. Best of luck to you!

As many have mentioned well rounded education and work experience are key to the skills. not all jobs need degrees, but educating oneself on essential skills is.
Options for experience are customer service, office manager, administrative assistant, executive assistant, these being mostly office jobs but will defiantly provide experience and skills to be a celeb assistant.
You can look at job boards to see what skills are being listed as required/ preferred also for positions you are interested in.
Suggesting to get you foot in the door, looking at were celebs congregate and find a customer service/ entry level position somewhere to work up and gain experience.
