CARRIE FISHER IS A (SIGNATURE) WHORE?

January 16, 2006 -- Like many stars of yesteryear, Carrie Fisher has turned to lucrative autograph shows to make some extra cash. But Fisher, best known as Princess Leia in Star Wars, is perhaps more self-aware than many of the showbiz fossils who sell their signatures at the shows. "In a way, by accepting money for my signature, I have become a whore," Fisher writes in Details. "I have prostituted a token, a souvenir, and a gesture of my good will, and seen from an awfully odd angle, couldn't 'lovemaking' also be regarded as such a gesture? At least with an autograph you get a picture."
