With technology expanding the way that it has, and the lure + mystery of superstardom having become extinct—with fans now able to get a bird’s eye-view of their favorite celebrities personality, pulse and predicates with just the click of a “log on” button; when fans meet them in person by chance, celebrities now have to step up their game with something far beyond a signature on a piece of paper.
If anybody can vouch for that being a fact, superstar tennis pro Maria Sharapova can-because just recently, she had to step her game up.
Sharapova happens to be one of thee most photographed international tennis stars, and the fan must’ve known that, because a typical long-distance sneak shot of her just wouldn’t do.
While out at dinner recently, rather than disturbing her (by standing there as she dined) a fan slipped her their iPhone with a slip of paper that arrived with her dinner check that had an usual request: To take a selfie along with an autograph (on the piece of paper that arrived with her check).
While in the midst of this proposition, paper, and paraphernalia (and in a terribly confused looking stance); the 6 foot 2 inch statuesque Sharapova had the look on her face of somebody 4 foot 11 while she her dinner guest taking a pic of her Tweeting out to the world this tweet:

No word yet-on if Sharapova obliged the request, but thus far-there are no overzealous fans running around Twitter with proof his/her request was honored as yet, but we do know she signed one thing………………………………………..she signed into the Australian Open Player Board.

Well, as for the fan-if you didn’t get the autograph………………….maybe she just didn’t know what to write
