Krishna, You can use this too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Export to export many pages in the XML format by simply inserting the names of the pages (or inserting a category name, for example a category that lists the celebrities). With this, you can export 1000 pages per time. Or you can go to the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Database_download to get the entire wikipedia XML. Then you can filter whenever you want :-).
