Wikipedia has a round-up here, and although it is Wikipedia, it matches with many things I've heard before.

I'm trying to think of any modern movie star that has enlisted in the past decade or so. I think the last major celebrity to do this was Elvis, but I hope I'm wrong.

More here (I know other names off the top of my head so I know a complete list would be much more extensive than this.)
