We just had to post something about this news item... Apparently due to issues he's experienced with fans, Kevin Spacey has installed an "autograph flap" [full article] at the theater he is running in London. According to the article, Spacey has been overwhelmed by the support and crowds that have attending the production of "Richard II".

We applaud Spacey (and his team) for coming up with a clever invention that allows him to continue to sign and meet with fans as opposed to cancelling any interaction altogether. One question mark remains: how much interaction does "the flap" allow between Spacey and fans? How does a fan know that Spacey is actually the one signing the autograph if all they see is a hand?

It will be interesting to see if over time, more celebrities adopt similar "systems" that allow them to meet fans on some level, but have some level of security.
