I think you've just got to be wary - most celebrities are fine with you calling them by their names because they are just people, like us.

And plus, if I were famous, I would actually hate to be called 'Miss' and then my surname - if you're a fan - act casual...they'll know who the real fans are by how you approach them.
I know a man that helps Jack Nicholson's security. He once asked him what the worst thing about being famous was. He replied, "people calling me Jack." I guess it depends on the celebrity. Ms. and Mr. (I wouldn't recommend Mrs., even if they're married) are terms of respect, not for only professional setting. Be courteous.

Well unfortunately for me I do not live nearby any place that any celebrity (or any person in their right mind) would care to visit >_>.

Well said & completely true, Celebrityfan :wink:

Maybe u should say Ms. Mrs. Just to be polite

Yeah if they are not busy with someone, just go up to them and politely say "Excuse me XXXX, could you please sign this for me?" & if they do.. make sure to say "Thank You"

Hi Sai :D

Well, if they are not busy or doing something personal (like talking on the phone) I'd just walk up to them and politely introduce myself and let them know I'm a fan. After that you can judge by their reaction if they're in the mood to get a photo taken or to give an autograph.

How to approach celebs?

I was just wondering how should I go about approaching a celebrity if i saw one in the street and really wanted to get a photo taken with them or an autograph?
I know i shouldn't approach them if they look like they are busy or are doing an activity that really is a personal thing.
But I mean if i saw them leaving a place or walkingin the street how should i go about approaching them? :)
