Christina Aguilera - singer, actress

I sent a letter, SASE and 2 8x10 photos to Christina Aguilera on Sept. 20, 2010. On July 12, 2011, I received both photos back unsigned, along with a small 4x6 signed photo. Upon further review, I believe the photo is autopenned (signed by a machine that copies her handwriting), so it isn't an actual autograph. That was a long time to wait for a fake graph! Oh well, what can you do?

John Mellencamp - music legend

I've been a fan of John Mellencamp's (or John Cougar Mellencamp - depending on the decade) for as long as I can remember. Who doesn't love "Jack and Diane?" I sent a letter, SASE and 5x7 photo to him on April 29, 2011 and received my photo back signed and personalized on June 27, 2011. Glad to add this legend to the mix.

Lisa Loeb - musician

I sent a letter, SASE and 2 4x6 photos to Lisa Loeb, singer of "Stay" on April 29, 2011. On May 23, 2011, I received both of my photos back signed and personalized.

Crystal Bernard - Wings, Happy Days

I sent a letter, SASE and 2 4x6 photos to Ms. Bernard on Dec. 11, 2010. Today, April 25, 2011, I got both photos back signed and personalized. She only signed her first name, which judging by others' successes is somewhat strange, but its okay with me.

Olivia Newton-John - singer, Grease, etc.

Really pleased to get this one back, as "Grease" is a guilty pleasure of mine. I sent a letter, SASE, 8x10 and 4x6 on Nov. 29, 2010. Today, April 23, 2011, I received my photos back signed.

Katharine McPhee - The House Bunny, American Idol

Sorry for the lack of updates. April has started off very slowly in the autograph department. I did get one back today though. I sent a letter, SASE, 8x10 and 4x6 to Katharine McPhee on March 12, 2011. Today, April 8, 2011, I received both photos back signed and personalized. I sent to her at a set where they were shooting a pilot for a new TV show. I was pleased to get this back, but unfortunately, the 8x10 was pretty badly creased in the mail. It is still a nice autograph though.

Barbara Mandrell - country singer and actress

When I was a kid I always had to watch Barbara Mandrell on TV. Her show with her two sisters was a favorite of both my mom and my grandma. I have to admit, it was a pretty funny show. I sent an email to Ms. Mandress via her website and asked her about receiving an autograph. I told her how I used to watch the show with mom and grandma. I sent the email on Oct. 19, 2010 and received a nice autographed photo today, Feb. 7, 2011. She personalized it and wrote a really nice inscription. It means a lot since my mom and grandma are both gone now.

Rascal Flatts - country music

I'm not a huge country fan, but I like a lot of the music Rascal Flatts do. I sent a letter, SASE and 8x10 to the Sioux Falls Arena in South Dakota a few days before their show there (Jan. 10, 2011). Today, Jan. 31, 2011, I received my photo back signed by all three members of the group and it was personalized. I didn't think I'd get it back since it had been a while since the concert. Very pleased though!

Tim McGraw - country music, actor

I like Tim McGraw. I think he's a really good singer and I've liked him when I've seen him acting as well. I sent a letter, SASE, 8x10 and 4x6 to him on Nov. 30, 2010 and received both photos back signed and personalized today, Jan. 29, 2011. I also received a small note card from his fan club, which was signed also. Nice success!

Leann Rimes - country singer

This one coming back really shocked me. I sent a letter, SASE, 8x10 and 4x6 to The McCoy Center for the Arts in New Albany, OH on Nov. 3, 2010. Two days later, I saw that her concert had been postponed for more than two months later down the road. I figured that was it, those photos were gone. Well, the concert came this past weekend, and today, Jan. 25, 2011, my photos were in the mailbox. She signed both and personalized one. Very pleased, especially since I thought these were a lost cause. Thumbs up to the McCoy Center for actually holding onto my envelope for her for over two months.

Thomas Ian Nicholas - American Pie movies, The Rookie, etc.

I sent this request on Nov. 1, 2010. I sent a letter, SASE, 5x7 and DVD cover to Mr. Nicholas. Today, Jan. 24, 2011, I received both of my items back signed and personalized, along with a small photo of his own signed and personalized. I loved him in American Pie, so I'm pleased to add him to my collection.

Taryn Manning - Hawaii Five-0, Sons of Anarchy, etc.

I'm a big fan of the new Hawaii Five-0, so I wanted to try to get Taryn's autograph since she's been a guest star on several episodes. I sent a letter, SASE, 8x10 and 4x6 to her on Nov. 27, 2010 and received both photos back signed and personalized today, Jan. 24, 2011. Another nice through the mail success. One of five today!

Kara DioGuardi - American Idol, songwriter

I sent a letter, SASE, 8x10 and 4x6 to Ms. DioGuardi on Nov. 19, 2010. Today, Jan. 24, 2011, I received my two photos back signed, one personalized. I really thought she brought a lot to American Idol with her background as a singer/songwriter. I'm sure she'll do fine without Idol though - she has written tons of songs that people don't even know were written by her.

Miley Cyrus - Hannah Montana, pop singer, etc.

I like Miley's music - there, I said it. I think she is a pretty good actress too. I found the set address for the movie "So Undercover" she is currently shooting in Louisiana, so I sent a letter, SASE, 8x10 and 4x6 to her on Dec. 22, 2010. Today, Jan. 13, 2011, I received both of my photos back signed and personalized. Nice success!

Weird Al Yankovic - parody singer

Okay, I admit it, I'm a big Weird Al fan and have been since the 80s. This is one I got through the mail back when I first started collecting. I seem to remember it took a while, but I thought it was worth it!

Britney Spears - pop star

Nothing new in the mail today, so I'm posting one of my older autographs. I bought these. They are both from the late 90s or early 2000s - Britney's heyday. I was a big fan at the time.

Davy Jones - The Monkees

I sent a letter, SASE and 4x6 photo to Davy Jones on Nov. 5, 2010 and received my photo back signed and personalized today, Jan. 8, 2011. Nice success!

Cyndi Lauper - musician

I loved Cyndi's music growing up, so I'm happy with this success. I sent a letter, SASE, 8x10 and 4x6 to her on Nov. 13, 2010. She sent both photos back signed today, Jan. 7, 2011. Very nice!

Didi Benami - American Idol

I thought this girl was cute when she was on Idol and she had a good back story, so I decided to write her. I sent a letter, SASE and 4x6 photo on Nov. 1, 2010 and received my photo back signed today, Jan. 6, 2011.

Brad Paisley - Country Singer

I sent a letter, SASE, 8x10 and 4x6 to Brad Paisley on Nov. 17, 2010. Today, Dec. 20, 2010, I received my two photos back signed. I'm not a big country fan, but I like him and I think he's funny. Also, he is married to the chick from According to Jim.
