If you could meet 1 celebrity

[huskerlaw]

(currently alive) who would it be...and why?

[Left Is Write]

1. Adrian Paul.

Because I like his sword.

[KitchenWitch]

2. Locking

No sex threads :rofl:

[Left Is Write]

3. ....

;)

[qnr]

30. self-delete

[huskerlaw]

6. I had to google that one

but yes, he is indeed a hottie. ;)

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. I guess I'd want to meet .......

Bill Clinton.....

Because I admire and respect him so much....


:hi:

[huskerlaw]

5. Oooh! Good choice!

I wouldn't mind that one myself. :loveya:

[Mojambo]

7. I want to go drinking and talk politics with David Cross. n/t

[Az]

8. Noam Chomsky

Would be interesting to trade ideas with him.

[hickman1937]

9. Courtney Cox.

Most underrated actress in america.

[Aristus]

10. Harlan Ellison. And guess what? I DID get to meet him!

And have dinner with him.

Photos on the way soon. B-)

[Oeditpus Rex]

45. Friend o' mine who used to hang with SF writers

(she was married to one) told me Ellison was an asshole.

Just sayin'. :shrug:

[Aristus]

49. Well, he's an acquired taste. He was only an asshole to people

who had it coming. Smart-ass, smug, know-it-alls who tried to undermine his speaking engagements. He went to town on them. To everyone else, his fans, he was kind, funny, generous and down-to-Earth.

[Oeditpus Rex]

50. Yeah, I got a feeling that was the deal

My friend is not someone who's impressed by celebrity; indeed, she can be quite put off by it. So I took her comment with a grain o' salt.

[Omphaloskepsis]

11. Steve Jobs.

He has interesting views on education. And I would punch him in the face until he fixed my iPod Nano. j/k

[shugah]

12. david bowie

why? because he is currently alive ;-)

[SeattleGirl]

13. I think.....Bill Clinton

Because he's very bright, and while not perfect, was a good president, and is still doing good things.

I have met several famous people: Susan St. James, Jessica Lange, Bill Cosby, Jane Curtain, Gerald Ford, and -- my favorite -- Ginger Rogers, who *floated* across the floor and is one of the main reasons I grew up loving dance!

[BeHereNow]

14. Living in Hollywood, married to a person in the biz, I would have to say

NONE of them
I have met plenty of them and frankly,
I would rather eat glass shards...
BHn

[radwriter0555]

15. LOL! Exactly what I was going to say.

even the avowed communists are either hooked on cocaine or totally stark raving mad.

George Clooney seems to be the only one everyone says nice things about, all the time.

Unless they're republican of course.

[BeHereNow]

17. heh-heh...

You obviously know about that which I speak of,
BHN

[BeHereNow]

20. Did you hear Clooney on NPR the other day?

My husband met him and liked him-
I liked what I heard on his NPR interview, but then he
has been around the business long enough not to take it
seriously...he seems very down to earth, but like I said,
that is NOT usual as far as celebrity types.
I have met more assholes than a gay guy
in the height of the bath house craze in
SF...
I know you know what I am talking about.
BHN

[Duncan Grant]

22. Your choice of analogy (no pun intended), ...

leads me to believe that you might not be as likable as you may think. :eyes:

[radwriter0555]

28. Are you my doppleganger? I was in SF at the height of the bathhouse craze

too and DO know precisely of what you speak...

I made the mistake of going to MX last spring with a well known producer and her child on a family holiday. We were summarily ditched for some other people and the producer was running around in circles blasting blow in every available restroom.

We left early.

Nice person, nice enough, but even though there was a specific caliber of political values we had in common, she was a hypocrite after all was said and done, and just too narcissistic for our tastes.

I can't say I've ever been impressed with hollywood types. I've worked with em, dated em, been friends with em, and they're just as fucked up as everyone else, if not way more so, due to out of whack value and ethic systems.

[bliss_eternal]

72. I know what you are talking about, too...

The only other one I've heard that's incredibly nice to people was Ben Affleck, don't know if that's true or not.

Various people in my family worked in celebrity homes. While they (on most counts) were VERY kind toward my relatives, I've heard stories. But these are mostly what would be considered old school Hollywood. Different generation than those of today...

[BeHereNow]

16. With exception of a few...

As an after thought to my other post-
My husband has actually worked with a few
good people..but they are the exception, not the rule
as far as "celebrity" types go.
BHN

[Whoa_Nelly]

18. Jon Stewart

It would be awesome! I have a lot of respect for him.

[Draill]

19. Anthony Hopkins n/t

[dorktv]

21. Seth MacFarlane...

so I can have his babies.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

23. Michio Kaku - if he gets drunk or high and starts explaining the universe

I'd just like to sit and listen to his most far out ideas, whether I understand them or not (which I probably would not). Maybe it would be better if I were drunk or high as well.

[Draill]

26. Excellent choice! n/t

[graywarrior]

64. Love Michio!

[Crazy Guggenheim]

24. Robert DeNiro.

[MissMillie]

32. I think he'd be my pick too (n/t)

.

[Fox Mulder]

25. Anne Hathaway.

Need I explain? :evilgrin:

[satireV]

58. Did she get her nose bobbed?

[Hardrada]

27. The Dalai Lama nt

[DanCa]

29. Probably be Bruce Springsteen

The man musical genius is amazing, my second choice is Grace Park from Battlestar Galactica.

[dajoki]

42. i did meet him...

back in '75 my college friend's brother graduated HS with Bruce and produced concerts around the Jersey shore. Bruce was playing a few in his hometown and we got invited. got to meet and party with him and E street band(original). made us feel at home. cool time i will never forget.

[DanCa]

47. Light of day Concert

Cool story, hopefully he'll make an appearance at the light of day concert this year. www.lightofday.org. Several members of my pd group are going .

[qnr]

31. Irene Cara

Just to confuse people.

[Arugula Latte]

43. That cracked me up!

Thanks! :hi:

[qnr]

62. My pleasure

:) :hi:

[Shell Beau]

33. That is really hard.

I would like to meet so many that I would have a hard time choosing.

Matthew McConaughey for his yummy looks.
Jack Nicholson for his awesomeness as an actor.
A lot of political people I respect.


:shrug:

[kwassa]

34. I'd like to have a few drinks with Lewis Black

I'd bet he is hilarious

[RiffRandell]

35. Dave Grohl

Funny, smart, hot.

[Divameow77]

57. I met Dave Grohl

and he is totally funny & HOT!

[bliss_eternal]

73. I'm ridiculously jealous of you right now.

I know he's hot--seems funny in what I've seen of him. Was he as nice and down to earth as he seems?

[Trigger Hippie]

36. Bob Dylan

He's so mysterious and weird. Love him though. :)

[graywarrior]

65. My choice also.

We'd kill eachother, tho, competing over who is more intense.

[DS1]

37. Monica

Of course

[Guy Fawkes]

38. William Shatner

The man made an album about himself titled "Has Been," and it's a great album. William Shatner is my hero- he has been since I first saw Star Trek when I was little.

[DanCa]

54. I like shatner because he can laugh at himself.

Whether on Fresh Prince, or Third rock from the sun, it seems to me he doesn't have the ego alot of people have. Of course that may have come with age.

[CottonBear]

55. I actually met William Shatner and got his autograph!

He was quite nice to a 14 year old StarTrek fan.

[HughBeaumont]

39. Gary Oldman

So I can ask how he's able to be someone else so easily . . .

[bertha katzenengel]

40. Carol Burnett - she helped to save my sanity.

I was in a mental hospital in 1986. I had a copy of her newly-released memoir One More Time and I watched re-run after re-run of her show. It was my escape from my unbelievable reality. I've always wanted to tell her, without starry-eyed vapidity, "thanks, thanks a whole lot. it is a joy to shake your hand." And leave it at that.

[khashka]

41. Mira Sorvino

She's just got somethin'. Well, besides talent and looks....
I'd pay good money just for the opportunity to maybe possibly kiss her.

Khash.

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

44. Morrissey

I think we two oddballs would get on quite fabulously.

[Oeditpus Rex]

46. Walter Cronkite

I'm a journalist and he's my professional god.

Had a prime chance once to meet Charles Kuralt. Pissed it away. :grr:

[Crazy Guggenheim]

48. Cronkite. A very honorable man!

[Oeditpus Rex]

53. Indeed

Thus is he my professional god. We haven't seen one like him since, and I doubt we ever will.

More's the pity. :cry:

[redqueen]

51. Johnny Depp.

We could talk politics n stuff. :)

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

59. Me too, especially after that article he wrote for Rolling Stone

'Kerouac, Ginsberg, the Beats and Other Bastards who ruined my life' about what happened when his brother put Van Morrison's Astral Weeks on his turntable. I went through the same process of discovery, only mine was through a girl I fancied called Paula & Will Self's collection of essays Junk Mail. Plus I think he's one of the great actors of his generation & I'd like to ask him about working for Burton, Jarmusch, Polanski, John Waters, Wes Craven, etc. And then when I'm done, I'll pass him over to you for a snog!

http://www.johnnydeppfan.com/interviews/beatessay.htm

Failing that I'd love nothing more than to talk B-movies with the wonderful, but all but unknown, Emily Booth

[mitchum]

69. I also read that article, but wondered just how playing an undercover...

high school cop played into that whole ethos. I guess celebrity integrity and high ideals are just...different

[Monkey see Monkey Do]

76. But then he did Waters 'Cry-Baby'

and made it all okay. Well that's my defence - although thankfully I've never had to sit through '21 Jump Street'.

[bliss_eternal]

74. Watching him in Pirates

is totally like porn for me--not to be gross. Seriously--that man has NEVER looked hotter than he did in that movie to me.

I had to go see it a few times alone, sans dh.

Smeared kohl eyeliner, dreadlocks and pirate garb never looked so good!

:loveya:

[ComerPerro]

52. Mike Gordon, of Phish

Because he is absolutely fascinating.


Or, Kurt Vonnegut.

[CottonBear]

56. Viggo Mortenson.

He's hot, he's a great actor, writer and poet and a cool human being.
Did I mention that he's hot?

[TallahasseeGrannie]

60. Queen Elizabeth

[Initech]

61. Lewis Black

I'm sure he'd be an interesting person to have a few drinks with!

[Metta]

63. The Dalai Lama or better yet, the Panchen Lama after he's out of jail.

That'd get it.

[mac56]

66. Kurt Vonnegut

Just to hear him talk for an hour or so.

[Lilith Velkor]

67. I just met Cindy Sheehan 3 hours ago

Because she was at the CodePink meeting. :)

[GOPisEvil]

68. I had the good fortune to meet her, too.

August 11 in Crawford. :)

[Lilith Velkor]

70. She's good people.

Gonna see her again at the White House tomorrow. Speaking of which, I gotta sleep. 'Night.

[newyawker99]

71. I choose George Clooney. He is a smart and

intelligent person and is easy on the eyes.


:loveya:

[bliss_eternal]

75. Michael Moore

I just want to thank him personally for F 9/11. I owe him that much.
