GOOGLE, or any of the other dozens of Internet search engines can be a useful friend in your quest for celebrity autographs.
Out of all of today’s celebrity actors, actresses, authors, models, sports stars, singers, politicians, news anchors, reality stars, has-beens, wanna-be’s, and D-listers…….you would be surprised at just how many of these people have their own websites.
If you want an autograph and don’t have a picture that you want to mail the celebrity, try using GOOGLE or any of the other search engines.
Many celebs with websites will have an EMAIL CONTACT link on their page that you can use to contact them directly. Others will list an email for their management company or publicist. You can always send a fan email to these addresses because you never know, they may very well be forwarded on to the celebrity after being screened to make sure you are not some slack-jawed knuckle dragging deranged psychopath who literally wants to eat the celebrity for lunch….
When searching for your celeb on a search engine, make sure that the site you go to is listed as being the “official” site of that celeb and not one of the thousands of “fan” sites created by everyday lugs like you or I.
Many of the lesser known celebs will have websites, MYSPACE, or FACEBOOK pages that you can use to try to contact them about an autograph. If you see that the celeb is offering autographed photos FOR SALE on his/her website, you can pretty much rule out sending them an email to request an autograph. You will have to pay up just like everyone else.
Many of today’s top stars also have sites but I tend to think that getting an autograph via email from many of them is pretty hard. A notable exception is Shirley Maclaine who sent a great autographed 8×10 after I sent her an email via her website.
So…..looking to save on postage? GOOGLE your celeb!
If they have a contact link on the website, send them a personal fan message, nicely ask for an autograph, and sit back and keep your fingers crossed.
So, far…I have gotten over 75 autographs through personal websites.
And all were FREE. In this rotten economy, you can’t beat FREE.
Good Luck!
