Name the celebrity you want to...
 

Bring back from the dead – JFK Jr. I'm convinced he was taken from the world for being too close to perfect.

Eat dinner with – Joan Baez. She's such a role model and an inspiration to me. I love the way that she thinks, the combination of passion, compassion, and art.

Get drunk with – Stevie Nicks, of course. I want to laugh together and hear all of her stories.

Smoke weed with – Bob Dylan. And as we smoke, I want us to listen to Jokerman and have him dissect it for me.

Go shopping with – Jackie Kennedy. F it, I'm bringing the entirety of Camelot back.

Fall asleep with – Bono. He can sing to me as he tells me about saving the world. I would never have sweeter dreams.

Just be best friends with – Kristen Stewart. Yeah, I said it. I don't know, I think we'd really click.

Talk to – Patti Smith. We've actually had a conversation, but it was just the typical fan sort of thing. She's so out of this world, and I want her to take me into her's.

Marry- Springsteen. What is there to say? He's just about the perfect man.

Have children with – Adam Levine of Maroon 5. I don't think I would ever want to have a conversation with him, but my oh my would he make pretty babies.

Be tutored by - I'm going to say Bob Dylan again.

Trade places with – Obvs. Steph.

Slap- Paris Hilton. I can't even talk about her to explain why. I don't want to be that angry right now.

Hug – Will Smith. He seems like such an authentically good man.

Go to a concert with – Patti Boyd. What better place for her to teach me her ways?

Be more like – Joan Baez for all the reasons above.

Be with forever – That's kind of uncomfortable.

Want to grow up to be like – Everyone listed :)

Bring back from the dead – Bill Hicks. Because I feel in this day and age of ego pandering amongst the hierarchy, this man would have a hell of a lot to say and a big impression to make. I like to think that they would have maybe listened to him, considering how deep his message was in his day and how relevant it is in our own.

Eat dinner with – I'm not comfortable eating in front of people. Having said that, I wouldn't mind shunning my plate whilst discussing art with the late great Andy Warhol. His approach and ideology have always fascinated me, and considering our similar paths I feel I would have alot to learn from him.

Get drunk with – Mick Fleetwood. I want to hear first hand stories from the crazy beginnings of Fleetwood Mac, and about the dreariest shows he was reluctant to comment on in his book :P No detail's too low brow

Smoke weed with – I honestly have no idea. Of course the obvious choices of Hunter S Thompson, Jerry Garcia and (probably not so obvious) Lord Byron came to mind. But they're not right. Maybe Sylvia Plath, so I can get a peek into the psyche that ultimately destroyed her. Gah...Why are so many people I admire already dead? :(

Go shopping with – I'm not sure this counts as a Celebrity, but Phoebe Buffay. Her style and mindset are so alike to my own that I'm sure we would have a great time together. And I look forward to slipping into Restaurants and liberating the Lobsters on our way :P

Fall asleep with – The entire Fleetwood Mac cast of Rumours era. I can just see us collapsing into a cute dogpile to sleep, feet in faces and such. It just seems like such a funny but cool way to sleep :P As long as I get to sleep on top of Lindsey of course hehe. Or maybe John as he is now as he does look the comfiest with his middle age spread.

Just be best friends with – Rupert Everett. Not only do I have a huge crush on the man, but My Best Friend's Wedidng left a big impression on me. I want a friend like that who I can be insane with but at the same time be completely myself and comfortable with.

Talk to – Stevie Nicks. I just want to find out how my namesake ticks and get to know her on a more personal/friendly basis. I get the feeling that she (along with Christine) are capable of being quite the Mother Hens. Yeah...okay...I'd also like to talk her into letting me pick out my favourite outfits from her wardrobe so I can steal them. My favourite is a brown suede dress in one of her pictures which is just delicious.

Marry- Rupert Everett. I'm okay with the whole gay thing. Just as long as I get the cuddles (Okay....maybe more than cuddles lol) and I get to be involved with his dramatic life as he loves to hint about. I like drama. Drama keeps me grounded and interested in life hehe.

Have children with – Damn...Does this mean I have to have children? *Whines* Erm... I guess I would have a child with both Lindsey Buckingham and Rupert Everett. I just want to see them both cradling a teeny little baby (preferably a girl) and see how their protective and nurturing sides present themselves. They can keep the kid. I'll just wave to it in the street if I saw it lol. Yup. I'm great Mother material lol.

Be tutored by - I keep coming back to this question and stumbling on it, purely because there are so many great celebrities out there I could learn so much from. But in favour of being a bore, I would have to say Stephen Fry again. Not only is he an intellectual of the educated sence, but he's intelligent with his humour, graces and "street" knowledge, if anybody out there understands. It would have been so easy for him to be stuffy and holier than thou. But he's a down to earth man with a psychological disorder I share and I admire him immensely for being himself and unafraid.

Trade places with – Janis Joplin, if I could avoid the premature death. She lived through the heady and turbulent scenes of the sixties and I just want to be a part of that. I missed my era by so many years and I wish I could have that chance to go back and be one of the major players in it.

Slap- Jordan aka Katie Price. I would love for her to explain why in the hell she is a Celebrity before hand though, because at the moment all I'm coming up with is boobs and self idolatry.

Hug – Stephen Fry. Because he has sensational favourite Uncle/Teddy Bear qualities

Go to a concert with – Lindsey Buckingham. I want to join him in being the two wierdos in the front clearing a radius around them whilst dancing like doofuses (Just watch Live In Boston during Tusk :P)

Be more like – I'd go back to the Janis Joplin answer for this question, only I would steer clear of the heavy drug use. I don't need to take drugs to see Flamingos crossing the street :P

Be with forever – If I could have been right from the beginning, then Lindsey.I love the idea of being with somebody from teens and just sticking with them right through everything....Being the Romeo and Juliet couple without the deaths. It would also mean that I got to be a Fleetwood Mac groupie which I am impressively okay with, of course ;)

Want to grow up to be like – Christine Perfect/McVie. She's an elegant and classy lady who knows when enough is indeed enough. She isn't afraid to shy away from what she's used to in favour of her happiness and well being and that's a quality I need to learn.

Bring back from the dead – Michael Jackson, just to see what would have happened next.

Eat dinner with – Gabriel Byrne. The man's a dream and I bet he's great company.

Get drunk with – I'm teetotal, but for the sake of an answer, Jeremy Clarkson. I wonder does he get more or less offensive as he drinks?

Smoke weed with – Duran Duran, and then listen to them tell funny stories about each other.

Go shopping with – Sarah Brightman. Her taste is fabulous and I could listen to her talk in that fantastic accent all day long.

Fall asleep with – I'm stealing your Bono answer, Marissa. It's just so true!! :thumbsup: :wavey:

Just be best friends with – Betty White. There's something inherently decent and lovable about her :)

Talk to – Lindsey Buckingham. I don't know what I want to say, but I know I want to say it...

Marry - Matthew Broderick. Maybe it's just Ferris Bueller has left me with this impression, but he seems like just about the sweetest man on the planet.

Have children with – David Tennant. The kids would be all eyes and teeth :D

Be tutored by - Derren Brown. Clever little so-and-so :p Failing that, Harry Houdini.

Trade places with – Right now? Dave Stewart :p

Slap - Stephanie Meyer. Don't get me started.

Hug – Chris Rea. His music has been so important to me and he comes across as pretty shy ... I think he could do with a hug ;)

Go to a concert with – Tina Turner. She'd never sit through a show!

Be more like – Carl Rogers. I wish I could have his view of people, and of myself!

Be with forever – Have to say Lindsey Buckingham. I really want to know what goes on in that head.

Want to grow up to be like – Audrey Hepburn. Stylish, talented, well-spoken, beautiful, beloved. :)

Bring back from the dead – Marilyn Monroe. She was in her prime when she died...so much left unfinished.

Eat dinner with – Dolly Parton. I bet she'd be a hoot.

Get drunk with – Christine McVie or Kate Winslet. Yaye for British humor!

Get drunk with – Siouxsie Sioux

Smoke weed with – Anais Nin

Go shopping with – Courtney Love

Fall asleep with – Marilyn Monroe...I thought of her first as "bring back" but in a non sexual content, just to sleep with her, give her a sense of security--- would be nice.

Marry- Gary Oldman

Bring back from the dead – Tallulah Bankhead. So exceptional and odd, and I think she'd be hilarious about all these new reality celebrities with no talent. I'd like to see her on the stage, too.

Eat dinner with – Patti LaBelle. Elton says her mac n cheese is the best in the world. So, I'd like her to cook the dinner, or at least the side.

Get drunk with – I don't like drinking much, but I'd choose George Clooney.

Smoke weed with – Whoever gets the best. Someone from Hawaii, maybe. Or Whitney.

Go shopping with – Elvis Presley. Probably would have had a new car to show for it.

Fall asleep with – Marck. Nobody here knows him. He died in 1994. Edit- not a celebrity, oops. Ok, Kurt Russell circa 1985 almost looked like Marck, so I'll say Kurt.

Just be best friends with – Keith Richards. Circa 1982.

Talk to – Charo. (not really!) I just think 'Charo' should always pop up as an answer on these kind of lists, somewhere!

Marry- Everyone should be married once or twice. No longer the marrying kind, so can't answer.

Have children with – ooooh, no. Someone barren or sterile I guess would have to be the answer!

Be tutored by - Jesus. (Better than a celebrity!)

Trade places with – Oprah Winfrey. But when she was thin. Maybe just before 'Beloved' when she was all hopeful and looking her best, expecting Oscars. It tanked, and she hasn't been thin since.

Hug – Miss Ross.

Go to a concert with – Mick and Keith. In the 60s or 70s.

Be more like – Ted Turner. Except, I don't want to be as old as he is, until I am. He gives lots of money away and started the best tv channel in the history of the world, Turner Classic Movies.

Be with forever –I have to choose Jesus again! I'm too much work for mere mortals, it takes the Messiah's love to deal with me. And of course, I don't mean Him with any amorous or romantic designs.

Want to grow up to be like – Being Mick Jagger would have been cool enough. Bob Dylan would have been great, except I sense he wasn't happy for a lot of years- don't need that. Jagger always has seemed pleased with himself!

Bring back from the dead – Leslie Nielson ...the world wasn't ready to lose his comedy.

That's sweet, but I look at it this way: (You needn't)-
He was 84. People don't get more hilarious at age 85. I think the best of him is preserved on film, he had a very long life, and he likely wouldn't have ever worked again, anyway. So, RIP, LN!
It's interesting- a female friend of mine had a very similar reaction to yours when LN died recently, so you're not alone!
When I saw this thread, I thought 'that's interesting' and began reading, surprised to find that I'd replied to it- It's months old, and I forgot all of my answers. But reading the answers I chose, for once, I had no 'reason for editing'. Oh yes, I do- wouldn't want to trade place with Oprah, huh? Well, I'll leave it! What I was thinking to have written that I have no idea.

Debbie Harry to all of the above. :D

^
Good of you to want to bring Deb back from the dead!
I am so sorry, that was so obvious but I couldn't resist it, anyway!
I know what you meant- Debbie to all the other questions!

While I don't want to be with him,
it's good to see another Dale Jr. fan around
here.

My brother got to see both him and his father
win at the (few) races he's been to. Needless
to say, he's a big fan too.

Bring back from the dead – Janis Joplin, so she could show these pop tarts in the music industry how it's really done!

Bring back from the dead – John Lennon... solely because he was such a vocal advocate for peace.

Eat dinner with – Perhaps Anne Rice? She seems very intelligent and has a fascinating way of looking at the world.

Marry - Lee Pace.

Have children with – Lee Pace.

Be tutored by - idk... Brad Pitt maybe? He really seems to be living a fulfilled life in which he gives back.

Trade places with – No one.

Slap - Ehh... I'm not that invested. On top of that, people who resort to violence just seem unintelligent to me, too. :sorry:

Hug – Gotta agree with Baboles on this one, Betty White! She's probably the single most precious person ever.

Go to a concert with – Maybe Joseph Arthur? He's probably the musician I respect most. It'd be interesting to get his commentary on who he's listening to.

Be more like – Perhaps John McVie? He seems so chill and normal despite such a wild life.

Be with forever – Lee Pace.

Want to grow up to be like – No one... I just want to be the best version of myself I can be.

I am cackling. Kristen, you doof :lol:

Eat dinner with – Tina Fey. She's hilarious and brilliant, and I'm guessing some crazy **** goes down on that set. I want stories.

Get drunk with – Christine McVie. I don't know many people more fond of vodka than I, but I think it's safe to say Chris would have me beat.

Go shopping with – Chloe Sevigny

Fall asleep with – Mark Sanchez

Just be best friends with – Lauren Graham. I think she's such a kick, and we both transferred into the same uni. My sister and I actually got to meet her once when I was, like, twelve through a mutual friend. She could not have been sweeter or funnier with the awkward preteens.

Be with forever – Nathan Fillion. Yeah, I feel slightly creepy saying that, but I really think we'd click.

Want to grow up to be like – Nancy Mitford

Bring back from the dead: John Lennon

Slap: Gillian McKeith (probably only Brits will get this one)

I like this answer a lot. Have you read Blonde by Joyce Carol Oates? It's a great re-imagining of Marylin's entire life. I'm reading it right now and it is fantastic! Beware, it's over 700 pages long!

Sounds good. Biographies are my preferred choice of reading, and too many seem to be limited to about 260 pages, hardly enough to properly give details of a life, particularly when the subject is dead. The surface stuff is just re-hashed, usually, when biographies run on the short side.
With 700+ pages, it seems likely the author has her own voice, sources, a passion for her subject, and information that maybe only has been touched on in the past along with a new perspective. I want to buy it now, thanks for the information.

Yes, I have and really enjoyed it. The miniseries version was horrid. I'm hoping that the film turns out better, but I'm skeptical it will be too watered down from Oates' book.

On another note, if you haven't picked up Fragments yet, I highly recommend it. It's a collected work of Marilyn's own writings. Based on this, I found it pretty amazing how accurately Oates embodied Marilyn's "voice" in Blonde.

Slap- Joy Behar, wrote CreepingDeath.

I so agree! I had to check twice and made sure you had her under 'Slap'.
I kind of thought I was the only one, she seems very popular. I find her often to be intolerant of any opinion other than her own, and extremely judgmental.
Not to say she isn't funny, sometimes, she is.
Frequently, though, she is too strident and rigid, for my taste.

Yes, I can't stand her. It's just you and me, I guess. :wavey:
