I use Ms. just in case. Some women (not necessarily celebs) are offended by Miss, Ms. is a general statement - Married, single, divorced, doesn't matter. Like Mr.

:D

Stay Strong,
Nick

I don't use Mr/Ms/Mrs for anything sometimes I put Miss for some female celebs who aren't married.... but I don't think it really matters that much... :lol: :razz:

QUOTES FROM HARRY POTTER AND THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE:

[in the hospital wing, Ron stirs]
Lavender Brown: He's waking up! He's calling for me! My won-won!
Ron Weasley: [croaks] Er... my... nee...
[Hermione takes Ron's hand. Lavender runs out, sobbing. Awkward silence]
Albus Dumbledore: Oh, to be young and to feel love's keen sting. {love} {??}

-------------------------------------------------------
Ron Weasley: It's beautiful, isn't it? The moon. {??}
Harry Potter: Divine. Had ourselves a little late night snack, did we?
Ron Weasley: It was on your bed, the box, I just thought I'd try one.
Harry Potter: Or twenty.
Ron Weasley: I can't stop thinking about her, Harry.
Harry Potter: Honestly, you know, I reckon she was starting to annoy you.
Ron Weasley: She could never annoy me. I think I love her.
Harry Potter: Oh... brilliant.
Ron Weasley: Do you think she knows I exist?
Harry Potter: Well, I'd bloody well hope so, she's been snogging you for three months.
Ron Weasley: Snogging? Who are you talking about?
Harry Potter: Who are you talking about?
Ron Weasley: Romilda, of course. Romilda Vane.
Harry Potter: Okay, very funny.
Ron Weasley: [throws the chocolates box at Harry]
Harry Potter: What was that for?
Ron Weasley: It's no joke! I'm in love with her!
Harry Potter: Alright, fine, you're in love with her! Have you ever actually met her?
Ron Weasley: No... Can you introduce me? {??} {love}

I recently got into Taylor Swift, and if I decide to write to her via venue in Boston next week, I'm still going to call her Ms. Swift, even though she's way younger than me.
taylor is just 19, not for anything but i really think she would prefer being adressed by her first name as opposed to mrs.swift. its your personal choice to do so if you want to do it feel free, but im just voicing my opinion.

To me there's not a whole lot of difference between Ms. and Miss, though I tend to prefer Miss.

i always start my letter off with dear (celebritys name) and unless they are a older celeb i will address them by their first name throughout the letter, if they are a older celeb i will address them as mr. or mrs. throughout the letter expect for the dear so and so part.

i feel this is the smart thing to do, i mean young celebs like, Taylor swift, Chelsea staub ,Selena gomez, dont want to be adressed as mrs. since they are pretty much just kids. while older celebritys like June foray , definitely should be adressed as mrs.

I write first names - but I do put a title on the envelope, because I think it looks better. For a Dame or a Sir, then yeah, I'd use that; but addressing a letter to Messrs. Delonge, Hoppus and Barker just doesn't sound right to me.
