categories should be available across all custom post types

What you want is the normal behaviour if you register a taxonomy to multiple post types. What you appear to have done here is register a new Category taxonomy for your Celebrity post type.

To add the default Category taxonomy to a post type use register_taxonomy_for_object_type().

register_taxonomy_for_object_type( 'category', 'celebrity' );
