Nope.

The closest you could get would be "What is the name of every person
that wikipedia knows was born in Nebraska on May 15th?"

Birth dates and locations tend to be fairly structured within articles
so are fairly easy to get. Dealing with a term as vauge as "celebrity"
make the task impossible even with human intervention.
