Everyone knows that celebrities are just as excited to see you in real life as you are to see them. Here are the best ways to initiate conversations with your favorite stars of stage and screen:

• "Hi, I loved you in [name of movie or chef competition]. Speaking of love, would you ever consider playing tennis with me, a fan? Speaking of fans, have you ever been on one of those weird boats in the Everglades?"
  

• "Whoa! It's you! My parents are always trying to tell me you aren't real and that you're one of those computer-generated cartoons like Shriek from Shriek 2. You should talk to them. They're at the other end of this rope."
  

• "Hey, you're from that movie where the characters ate the pizza! Will you autograph this coupon for free breadsticks with the purchase of a large eight-meat?"
  

• "You must hear this all the time, but I've gotta ask. Is that your real hair?" [tug hair jokingly] [tug again depending on response]
  

• "Where do I know you from? Don't tell me. Don't ever tell me. I need to do this myself. I can't say for sure what would happen if you told me."
