Depp best at signing autographs

LOS ANGELES - Johnny Depp has the write stuff when it comes to signing autographs while Cameron Diaz is the worst, according to a new list Friday from Autograph Collector magazine. Depp, followed by George Clooney, topped the magazine's 14th annual survey of Hollywood's best and worst signers. The "Pirates of the Caribbean" star also was rated best last year.
"Many stars become bad signers once fame and fortune hits, but not Depp. He's even signed autographs for crowds at the airport while carrying luggage," said Steve Cyrkin, editor and publisher of the Santa Ana, Calif.-based magazine.
As for Clooney, "he'll joke as he signs, and make fun of how he looks in photos he's handed to autograph," Cyrkin said.
When it comes to her moniker, however, Diaz gets a flunking grade.

"Cameron Diaz may be a talented actress, but she's persistently a terrible signer. Instead of just turning down a person's autograph request, she'll lecture them about how dumb autographs are," Cyrkin said.
Russell Crowe would have been named as the best of the worst but in recent months he has been much nicer to fans, Cyrkin said in a telephone interview Friday.
Cyrkin said the list, which appears in the magazine's June issue, was based on information from a professional autograph collector and an enthusiastic amateur who is a journalist.
"They're the guys who want to get five or 10 or 12 of everything but they do see people" and know the "track records" of the stars, he said.
"It's looking at the spirit of the way they sign," Cyrkin said. "It's how they treat their fans."

I like that Johnny is, how he is, but I find autographs kind of dumb too, like Cameron. If I met Johnny, I wouldn't get an autographs, because it's not like I'm going to forget, and why do I need paper proof, when I'm living proof?

I might pull off his shoe, or steal his coat though, because that would awesome to have!
