The Worst Autograph Signers of 2013

Who are the meanest celebs? Who refuses to sign autographs in Los Angeles?  This is my list of the worst autograph signing celebrities in Hollywood for 2013.  My requirement is that all celebs who make the list have to be someone I saw in person in 2013. The list is in descending order with number one being the worst of the worst.

10) Johnny Depp.  This pains me to put him on this list.  He was my BEST signer of 2012.  But the fact remains Johnny only made two public hollywood appearances in 2013 and he did not sign, take photos with, or even barely wave at either event despite hundreds of fans coming out to see him.   With big name celebs like Johnny Depp you really only see them once or twice a year.  So not getting Johnny's autograph this year means I could potentially go two years without getting him.  My gut tells me he will be a better signer in 2014.

9) Jesse Eisenberg.  Jesse is just a quirky dude.  He doesn't like crowds.  He doesn't like signing autographs.  Honestly he just seems overwhelmed by the whole commotion of it all.  So I don't blame him for never signing in LA, he seems to have a legit fear of people.

8) Elizabeth Banks.  She just doesn't seem to want to sign autographs.  I saw her both at premieres and low key and every time she just didn't sign.

7) Liam Hemsworth. There seems to be a trend with the stars of The Hunger Games.  Many of the main stars just stopped signing autographs in LA.  Liam was never nice but he has only gotten worse since taking on the role of Gale.

6) Jennifer Lawrence.  I can't really blame Jennifer for becoming a really tough signer.  She has ascended from an unknown to basically the biggest star on the planet in a matter of a few years.  So hey I don't blame her for stopping signing in LA in 2013.   She's got a lot to deal with.

5) Channing Tatum.  Channing makes it on the list because of how much he has changed in the last year and a half or so.  He used to be really nice.  But suddenly he became a "sex symbol" and since then he seems to believe his only "real" fans are teenage girls.  Back in the days of Fighting, Stop-Loss, The Eagle, etc. Channing was super nice to guys.  He would sign.  He would talk to you.  He would take pictures with you.  But alas, Dear John and Magic Mike changed all that and now Channing seems to only like the ladies.  But hey, if you are a female fan and all you want is a picture with him . . . go to one of his events.  You will probably have a good experience.

4) Gwyneth Paltrow.  Literally every star of Ironman 3 signed at the premiere . . . except for Gwyneth.  She didn't sign at a talk show appearance later that month either.  She just isn't a good signer.  At all.

3) Tobey Maguire. This is nothing new.  Tobey has always been a notoriously bad signer.  So I guess it's my fault that I went out to three events to try to get his autograph this year.  I heard he signed in NY.  So I got my hopes up.  I shouldn't have.  He stayed true to form.  Spider Man does not sign autographs in Los Angeles.  I will not be wasting my time on him anymore.

2) Alison Pill.  There are so many Newsroom cast pieces out there with everyone on them but Alison Pill.  She didn't sign at the premiere.  She didn't sign at Paleyfest.  She didn't sign when I saw her at a different premiere.  Then she did a play for a month in Los Angeles.  A few friends and I each went on different days to see if she would finish our cast pieces.  We all got her one on one.  Each time she said "No".  There's something very wrong about the fact that it is easier to get Jeff Daniels, Sam Waterston, and Emily Mortimer autographs than it is to get Alison Pill.

1) Bruce Willis.  Bruce Willis is better than you.  He is. Just ask him.  There aren't many celebs I've met in person and that interaction has soured me to their movies, but Bruce Willis is one of them.   Bruce came to the Red 2 premiere then walked over and stood about 8 feet away from the fans and just smugly smiled at the fans asking him for a picture or an autograph.  Fans begged him "Can I get a picture with you?" "Can you sign one autograph?" "Bruce please" his response: "This is real life".  He walked up and down the barricade saying to fans "This is real life".  He ignored every autograph request, he ignored every photo-with request.  He does the same arrogant show at nearly every appearance he makes.  Bruce Willis you have earned your title as the WORST AUTOGRAPH SIGNER OF 2013. Congrats. This is real life.
