Aaron Bradley posted more examples of triggering this on Google+ and called it the B-List Celebrity Knowledge Graph because it only works for less known celebs.

Aaron said:

They're such minor celebrities (one might even call them "celebrities-only-by-association-with-celebrities") that they lack a dedicated Wikipedia entry - although somewhere in the bowels of the Knowledge Grault* Google apparently has an ID that's allowed them to identify these fine young people as the named personal entities referred to in those search queries.

Makes sense for me. He matched it for a query on [david lucado who was Britney Spears ex-boyfriend.

The data might be coming off of Freebase, as an FYI.
