Celebrity Contact Inc

By and large, yes. In fact, very few people who are celebrities don’t wish to be so. Oh sure, they’ll say that it’s boring and that they wish they could be anonymous again, but the reality is that they could make that happen if they really wanted it badly enough.

More often than not, a celebrity wants to be recognized, but they also don’t want to be hassled. They like it when you point at their limo, because if they didn’t, they could just as easily take a taxi. They like that you care who they’re dating, because it means you care about them, but they’d just prefer it if they could occasionally have some time to date that person in peace.

And they like getting correspondence from you… but man, it’s tough to hand-reply to 100 letters a week. Celebrities know, for the most part, that you’re the people who pay them the ridiculous money they’re making. If they treat you like crap, you’re likely to stop giving them that money, so they’ll do you a small favor if they can, most of the time.

So what’s the accepted convention when approaching a star in the street? Well, it varies. We’ll go into it in greater detail in later chapters, but suffice to say you can approach just about anyone, just as long as you do it right and don’t get all creepy and stalker-like. Remember, stalkers make it hard for everyone, so don’t be that person.

Whether you’re reading this book because you’re a celebrity freak (aren’t we all, deep down?) or an autograph collector, or a journalism professional, or you just want to know in case you have an urge to contact someone you don’t know, the important thing to remember is, “How would I react?”

“If I’ve had a rough day and I’ve got six things going at once and I just stopped in at this little diner to grab a sandwich and *I* was approaching with a pen in my hand… how would I react?

Celebrities love you when you’re real, and they love you even more if you’re sincere. Saying, “Hey Gillian Anderson, I really aren’t that big on your movies, but I think I could make a few hundred bucks selling your autograph on eBay so… Could you sign this?” – Probably not going to cut it.

But something like, “Hi Gillian. Great to see you looking so awesome, I’m sorry to interrupt you here but my daughter is an absolute crazy fan of yours, could you sign something for her?” – That’s probably going to get you a little success.

So read on, folks, and let’s learn what’s required from you if your favorite celebrity is going to open up to you and take in the following chapter, where celebrities talk about their experiences with their fans.
