Depp tops autograph list for a third year

Johnny Depp has another reason to celebrate this Christmas, a day after becoming a Golden Globe nominee--the actor has topped a list of the best signing celebrities.

The Sweeney Todd star is considered the most gracious celebrity--for the third year in a row--on Autograph magazine's annual list of the 10 Best and 10 Worst Hollywood Signers.

That's because he almost always agrees to scribble his autograph if a fan asks him for it.

In the new December issue of the publication, New York autograph dealer Anthony Risi says, "He likes to talk to fans and get to know them while signing and he'll sign more than one item when he has time."

Matt Damon is second on the new list, followed by George Clooney, Jack Nicholson, Rosario Dawson, John Travolta, Katherine Heigl, Jay Leno, Dakota Fanning and Russell Crowe, who was among the worst signers on last year's countdown.

Funnyman Will Ferrell was shamed as the worst celebrity signer, followed by Tobey Maguire, Joaquin Phoenix, William Shatner and Renee Zellweger.
