Oops, she did it again - snubbed autograph seeker
Feb. 7, 2005 12:00 AM
Britney Spears makes it to the top of another "worst" list. And this time, it has nothing to do with clothes or singing.
Autograph Collector magazine, saying "no one is better at showing their fans how little they mean to them," names Spears its worst celebrity signer of the year in its 13th annual survey of who's cool and who's cruel to the fans.
"While we're the first to defend any celebrity's right not to sign, how do you defend rude, crude and downright unattractive behavior?" asks Steve Cyrkin, publisher and editor in chief. "As one collector told us, 'Britney has done all she can to earn her nickname, Bitchney Sneers.' " advertisement
Rating a dishonorable mention, the pre-breakup Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston.
"They're not nasty, but they pretty much ignore fans requesting autographs," Cyrkin says.
But Hollywood isn't all scowls and passive aggression. Turns out Johnny Depp is pretty nice. "He never says 'No' to autograph seekers," Cyrkin says.
The other good guys on the Autograph Collector list: Matt Damon, Tom Cruise, Mike Myers, Angelina Jolie, Elijah Wood, Lindsay Lohan, Jessica Simpson, Hilary Duff and Charlize Theron.
The naughty list includes Cameron Diaz, Tobey Maguire, Justin Timberlake, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Leonardo DiCaprio, Eminem, Halle Berry and Paris Hilton.
