If they’re eating, wait until their plate is cleared. If they’re at their kid’s ball game, wait until there’s a break in the action. If they’re in the restroom… well, you get the idea.

]]> 81167 2 0 Step Give a unique compliment Compliment them on something they’re not famous for—but might like to be. Jennifer Garner would no doubt rather hear, “You must be one terrific mom—that adorable baby of yours is so smiley!” than “I loved you in Alias.”

]]> 81168 3 0 Tip Stay cool. There’s a fine line between devoted fan and dangerous stalker, so don’t scare off your idol by screaming, crying, or begging. And for heaven’s sake don’t touch them.

]]> 81169 4 0 Step Say how they’ve inspired you Cite a specific example of how they’ve inspired you. Angelina Jolie is going to be impressed with you—not to mention pleased with herself—if you tell her that she moved you to send your tax refund check to Hurricane Katrina victims.

]]> 81170 5 0 Tip Research your idol’s pet charity—they all have one—and attend an event they’re hosting. They’ll have to be gracious.

]]> 81171 6 0 Step Be original Be original. Cuba Gooding Jr. no doubt wants to scream when fans shout at him, “SHOW ME THE MONEY!” But he’d probably kiss you if you were able to repeat dialogue from one of his many recent box-office bombs.

]]> 81172 7 0 Step Ask about their passion If you want to hold their attention, ask an intelligent question about something they’re passionate about. Leonardo DiCaprio is a big-time tree hugger, so he’d probably respond well to someone who wanted his thoughts on global warming.

]]> 81173 8 0 Step Read their body language Pay attention to the star’s body language. If they take a step back, you’re invading their space. If they’re looking past you, they want to get away. Let them.

]]> 81174 9 0 Fact Rumor has it that Tobey Maguire, Cameron Diaz, Britney Spears, and Gwyneth Paltrow are notorious for refusing to sign autographs.
