If you could have a private dinner with any famous person in the world, who'd it be?

[comfortably numb]

We all have famous people we follow and like, be it from the world of sports, entertainment, politics, religion, or business. If you were given the opportunity to choose any one famous person on earth at this time to have a private dinner and chat with, who would it be, and why?

This is a hard question for me to answer, I must think about it for a while..... :)

[The Mayor]

Either Bono or Morgan Freeman. Because I have so many questions I want to ask them.

Like..."How did you rise from obscurity to make it in the music/showbiz industry?" and "Do you have any advice for me?" Is that about right, Mr. Mayor? LOL

[comfortably numb]

For one dinner with a famous person, I'd choose the actress Rae Dawn Chong. She seems like a very interesting person, has lived quite a life, and I could ask her about one of my hero's from my younger, wilder days, her Dad, Tommy Chong, of Cheech and Chong!!

[The Mayor]

Actually, not at all. It would just be to ask them questions about their lives and things they've done.

Mayor, if you had that opportunity and didn't take advantage of it to pry their brains a little for advice, then I would say that your "getup and go musta gotup and went" and you would need to become a little more aggressive in order to reach your goals in life...don't get to be my age and end up like me, drifting thru life. LOL

[The Mayor]

Oh, I didn't say I wouldn't ask them those things! That just wouldn't be the reason I'd pick them.

[comfortably numb]

I see, Mayor...you are not a selfish person. My bad.

[Trex]

Hulk Hogan, I need to ask him what I need to do to lose weight, and get big and strong so I can throw my bowling ball 20mph....lol

[The Mayor]

Hulk Hogan, I need to ask him what I need to do to lose weight, and get big and strong so I can throw my bowling ball 20mph....lol I'd have to ask him about his daughter!! lol

[Tenkei]

+1 for his daughter definitely! I wouldn't mind a dinner date with Angelina Jolie though :)

[Shadow]

Alan Jackson.

[Trex]

Kathy Ireland

[phonedrn8]

2 people for me Dr. Martin L.King Jr. and a former Pres.Of USA ,

[sully_51]

Zooey Deschanel. Yumm.

[martin]

hmm either Tommy Jones or Norm Duke.. if i have to choose 1, i would go for Jones.. i want to ask him how he gets those crazy 700+ revs.. :D

[The Mayor]

Zooey Deschanel. Yumm.

Gotta agree with ya there.

[Trex]

Paris Hilton....LOL

[The Mayor]

You crazy Trex... Lake Bell or Alison Brie :)

[hondo]

Stephen Hawking

[Trex]

You crazy Trex... Lake Bell or Alison Brie :)

My sons wife looks like she could be Alison Brie's Twin!! :)

I still say Paris Hilton because I would tell her to call off her marketing dogs...They keep trying to call me!!
....And it is very annoying!!!

[The Mayor]

My sons wife looks like she could be Alison Brie's Twin!! :)

Well then your son is a lucky man!

[Trex]

yes he is! :)

[bdpeters]

Interesting question. If I could pick a dead person I would say James Belushi or Gilda Radner. Living person's would be Johnny Lang or Ozzy.

[madapples]

Hot famous chick = Zooey Deschanel
Sports guy = Tiger Woods
Dead dude = Jesus (I need to get to the bottom of a few things)

[littlelegs]

Hmmm...for dead guy I'll agree with madapples for similar (on the surface at least) reasons :)

Living is a tougher choice. I like the Hawkins answer but these days a conversation with the guy would take a week. So errrr...maybe Bill Gates being the geek that I am. Failing that the Dali Lama.

[VampyreBowler]

For me, it would be Steve Harris or Billy Sheehan. Bass is my fave instrument and did take lessons for a little but but had to stop due to money issues.

2nd choise would be a toss up between Weird Al and Marilyn Manson.

[billf]

Stephanie Nation or Shannon O'Keefe and we don't need to talk

[eugene02]

Jason Belmonte, Chris Barnes, Sean Rash, Shannon O'Keefe, Norm Duke. Anyone of these.. and lastly.. I wouldn't mind even with Bill! hahaa

[kurowah]

Oskar Barnack or Maitani Yoshihisa comes to mind.

[2fingerroller]

Neil deGrasse Tyson maybe some of that intellect will rub off on me through osmosis.

[75lockwood]

Hulk Hogan, I need to ask him what I need to do to lose weight, and get big and strong so I can throw my bowling ball 20mph....lol

Oxymoron, lose weight and get big and strong? lol

Anyway, i think I'd pick stephen hawking, guy is a true genius

[hehateme]

Arnold Swarztenegger, hands down. I don't care about his shortcomings, I've always been a fan of him.

[americantrotter]

Eddie Vedder.

It'd be nice to sit down and just ask some questions and talk music/politics/baseball.............

[MisterSinister]

It would be Arod, so he can hit on the cute girls at the next table, and maybe hook me up with the one who isn't quite as hot.

Assuming he could actually come through. LOL :cool:

[Bizwan65]

Probably Clive Cussler or Tom Clancy.

[Demoman]

David Gilmour - guitarist and singer for pink Floyd. The band and him particular have been a life long obsession of mine.
