Here's how it works. You find a mailing address for your favorite celebrity. You write her or him a letter, and politely ask for an autograph. You enclose a self-addressed, stamped envelope. You wait. If your letter was well received, you may receive an autograph back in the mail. It's entirely up to the celebrity.Believe it or not, many celebrities respond to this type of autograph request.

If by any chance you live in the United States of America, there is a high chances that you are a baseball fan. As the game of baseball gets more and more popular all around the world, you can find baseball fans in more and more areas of the world. And, if you do love this sport, you are likely to be one of the many baseball fans who would love to get autographs of their favorite baseball players. The general opinion is that it is almost impossible to get autographs of the best baseball players. In reality, things are not like that at all. Getting the autograph of your favorite player is much easier than you might think. Don't be a geek and think that the only way to get an autograph to the player you admire more is going to the stadium and fighting with the large crowd for a chance to ge

While not as a sexy experience as yesterday’s Katherine Heigl autograph signing, Heroes star Hayden Panettiere still gave her “fans” a good show… of cleavage, that is. As I said yesterday, these so-called fans looking to get autographs are really just your average guys (and a few girls) looking to get an up close and privileged peek at celebrity cleavage. A brilliant tactic, if not pathetically desperate.
I've never asked any actor or actress for an autograph, or any famous person at that. I guess I just never had a chance or my encounters with them were not appropriate autograph signing. The times that I saw famous people were during their quiet moments outside of their work. And I don't really want to deprive them of the few minutes as to which they can enjoy being somehow normal people, to go about their shopping sprees and dine in restaurants. I don't want to stalk them around. However, if it happens to be Julia Roberts, whom I love so much, I'll be that fan ready for my paper to get her autograph. Autograph of my favorite Hollywood superstar would like be a treasure that I will really keep. That's how much I love Julia Roberts. Autographs of all the famous people in the world wo

How memorable if they give you something precious to you?Everyone include us must be have an idol of our life. From inspiring actors, beautiful actresses, rock stars, pop stars, baseball players to football players, maybe one of them is very meanful to us. We don't care how difficult or how pain it is just to get their autograph. Sometimes you will stand alone at back of the concert hall door just to ask for it from your idol by waiting for hours. Can you imagine or remember that if you have done that before? But have you open wider your eyes, the world is become easier, you know? To get autographs, you just go to internet look for it and get it, like what you just do now. You can get your signed photo from your idol, especially for you, just with order it.

Growing up in the Washington-Baltimore area, as a baseball fan in general, I often heard of the legend of big Frank Howard. Well, yesterday while in Tampa, he was signing autographs for fans, young and old alike for well over an hour. Fans and autograph seekers stood in line flanked by security in an organized fashion, unlike the video below of Don Mattingly.In an era where most athletes former and current seem to be self-absorbed, it was a wonderful pleasure to see Mr. Howard to out his time, interact and chat with fans.The sad thing was while I was videotaping him and getting a few words with Frank, quite a bit of fans asked me who he was and what his significance to baseball. I was quite alarmed that fans who travel in some cases thousands of miles for spring training and not know who Frank Howard was in terms of the baseball lexicon.Anyhow, I enjoyed taking the time to have a few words and chat with him, as he seems to be a great man and thoroughly enjoys the fans.
Here's a video of Don Mattingly signing autographs for fans as he got done with a batting practice session with two other players. It was a fairly crazy scene, as hundreds of people flocked for his John Hancock on balls and other pieces of memorabilia Sunday afternoon.
