Sugababes
Ozzy Osbourne (if the venue will pass on fan mail)
Zakk Wylde
Dragonforce
Marcia Wallace
Maya Angelou
Tina Turner
Sophie Okonedo
Alicia Keys
Jennifer Hudson
Hugh Laurie (believed to be secretarial)
David Bowie
Martina McBride
Laurie Metcalf
Zsa Zsa Gabor (generally (even for her age) if she gets a hold of it before her husband does, haha)
Shirley Temple-Black
Glenn Close
Carrie Underwood
Sandra Bullock
Johnny Depp (will send preprint)
Orlando Bloom (will send preprint)
Patrick Stewart
Kathy Najimy
Daryl Hannah
Jack Black
Lucy Liu (movie sets)
Nick Frost
Jude Law

Adrien Brody
Christian Bale
Kate Hudson
Dane Cook
Dax Shepard
Ryan Reynolds
Justin Long
James McAvoy
Simon Pegg
Seth Rogen
Matt Damon (AP or PP)
Keira Knightley
Kevin Smith
Angelina Jolie (SFM PP)
Edward Norton
Will Ferrell
Eric Bana
Rachel McAdams



DOES NOT:

Bob Dylan
Queen Latifah (not very fan friendly from what I hear)
Nelson Mandela
O. J. Simpson
Ellen DeGeneres
Oprah Winfrey
Jamie Lynn Spears
Paul Butcher
Cole & Dylan Sprouse
Paul McCartney
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Whoopi Goldberg (not known of a venue success from her)
Rosie O'Donnell
Beyonce Knowles
Ben Affleck (doesn't even send AP/PP's anymore)
Leonardo DiCaprio
Brad Pitt
Mark Wahlberg (only TTM successes I've ever seen from him were through his Management)
Bruce Willis
James Marsden
Helena Bonham Carter

I think that there might already be a thread about this already in the "Autograph Collecting Discussion" Forum.

Anyways, I agree with your lists except for Jack Black.

Jack Black is an AMAZING via venue signer! He even carries his mail over to other movie sets in case he didn't get to reply much during the initial filming time.

Besides Jack, I'd like to add a little to your lists from my knowledge:

DOES:
Jack Black
Jude Law
Linkin Park
Adrien Brody
Christian Bale
Kate Hudson
Dane Cook
Dax Shepard
Ryan Reynolds
Justin Long
James McAvoy
Simon Pegg
Seth Rogen
Matt Damon - AP or PP
Keira Knightley
Kevin Smith
Angelina Jolie - SFM PP
Edward Norton
Will Ferrell
Eric Bana
Rachel McAdams

DON'T:
Beyonce Knowles
Ben Affleck - doesn't even send AP/PP's anymore
Leonardo DiCaprio
Brad Pitt
Mark Wahlberg - only TTM successes I've ever seen from him were through his Management Company
Bruce Willis
James Marsden
Helena Bonham Carter

And that's all I can think of for now...just because an Actor doesn't sign VV doesn't mean they're terrible people. Most of the ones I listed will reply via their Agency or Management Companies and send you at least an AP or PP...except for Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt...I don't know what happened to them

I have seen quite a few successes for alicia keys via movie sets... (like the "Bee" movie she just did)

Yep, she's excellent VV! I wrote to her at a theatre in the UK last year and used UK postage on my sase. I gave up hope of getting a response when the tour ended as I hadn't included USA postage. However, I recieved a signed photo a few months later that was mailed from Nashville & She paid postage herself! Dolly is my favourite singer in the whole world so getting her autograph was an amazing day for me {love}

Congrats on your success with Ms. Parton She's one of my favorite singers next to Tina Turner and Annie Lennox
I sent a picture to her via a concert hall in Minneapolis where she performed on February 28 (first stop of her Better Get To Livin' tour) So I'm hoping that they passed it on to her, and that she received it

is there a web site that says the singers venue with the address or how do you find out about these things?
there are a few singers i'd like to try.

There is already a sticky on this topic here: viewtopic.php?f=125&t=96016 {thumb2}
