Celebrities that charge for their signature

This is now a continuation from a previous post.
My arrogant aggressive opinion ? Uh, excuse me, I thought this was a forum ? Apparently it is a forum for teens. It's a shame the things people write in reply to my opinions, and they take such offense to them. Isn't that too bad.
Get a grip people. The bottom line is and always will be that actors that are big stars are that way because of you and me.
Period. If you and I don't go to their movie and support them, then they are nobody, and barely make it in Hollywood. One of the things that perhaps a celebrity does not like is the fact that they have fans, well, that comes with the territory of acting.
I have been in this business a very long time. I have never charged anyone for an autograph, and, neither have any of my clients, because they, for one know they are where they are today because of you. Celebrities jump on bandwagons for charities because it gives them publicity. I know this for a fact. You in turn, are taken in by it, and that is how the business gets your business.
As for paying for someone to sign, it is pretty sad when you the only way you can keep a fan base is by charging them, and you, the obsessed fan, can't wait to shell out your hard earned money to support whatever they support, just to satisfy that autograph craving.
You think they will donate to your charity ? And for the people that responded about the sports stars. They got there through hard work and training ? Yeah, half of them can't spell the word sport. If you think you should pay your favorite player $50 to sign a baseball, when they make $15 million a year, you go right ahead. You are funding their retirement, not me. Say, when you retire and don't have enough to pay rent, and you get a social security fixed income, do you think they will be behind you sending you a check ?
