The place where this started was with booking guests for the tonight show. Then it was how much you got paid to show up at partys. Paris Hilton get 100,000.
For the tonight Show an A lister goes on whenver they want to go on.
B listers they try and book as much as possible. But they chase the B listers.
C listers are used to fill space left by the B listers. So C listers are still called and asked to be on the show.
D listers are called when they need someone at the last minute. They are on standby. Kathy Griffin did this for years for talk shows etc.
This is also go in order on the Tonight show.
All peripheral jobs in the entertainement industry are list add ons. He is an B list Accountant (he works for B lists types). He is a C list attorney (he represents C types). He is a A list agent (Ovits) etc.

I think it is hard to place someone like William Shatner. Not A-list, but seems to transcend B, C and D-list status.
