For example, when they were introducing Ariel, I wanted her to be this redhead singer/artist in Storybrooke that had amnesia of her former self because of some forgetting spell (a la Season 1). That didn't happen. Or this idea especially!: When they were doing OUATIW, I wanted Gwen Stefani to actually be Alice, as she did that whole Alice in Wonderland era during her Love.Angel.Music.Baby album ("What You Waiting for?")--and have it be this whole thing where she landed in Anaheim  (by Disneyland!!) as a girl and got adopted by the Stefanis, where until now (whenever the show aired) would be this whole thing of her discovering she actually is grown up Alice. I was so sad that didn't happen, but I still loved OUATIW.

There are so many artists today that could do cameos... Criss Angel is a magician, he could be a wizard from beyond and hasn't realized it. They could do a whole arc about Houdini, Penn and Teller (who have appeared in Fantasia 2000), siegfried and roy, etc.

But I definitely feel there needs to be a crossover or realms, sort of how "The Dragon" lived in China and practiced magic, though "magic does not exist" in our world. While your idea is nice, that's not what the show is about and getting famous people when they already have busy schedules is hard and I don't think Once really has the budget to maintain any celebrity.
