02. Favorite Celebrity Encounter In 1981 I partied with Bruce Springsteen. He was kind and smart and when he kissed me -- yes, he bent me back and kissed me -- he tasted like beer. It was perfect.
03. Most Cherished Celebrity Obsession My all time idol is JBKO, Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis. I know she'd hate being regarded as a celebrity, since she appreciated her place in history, but her fame extended far beyond the White House.
04. A celebrity you’d love to hang out with Jackson Galaxy from Animal Planet's My Cat from Hell.
05. A celebrity you’d love to sit down and have a conversation with Robert Osborne! He's a host on TCM and I just adore him. He's an articulate expert on classic cinema and seems like a gentle man and a gentleman.
06. An artist you’d like to see live Sir Paul. Always and forever Sir Paul.
07. A celebrity you respect purely for talent Woody Allen. Because his talent is undeniable and frankly, there is nothing else to admire about him. I often wonder why God so gifted such a shitty excuse for a man.
08. A celebrity you feel you’d be good friends with Joe and Mika from MSNBC's Morning Joe. I mention both of them because I only think of them in tandem.09. A celebrity you dislike that others seem to love Patricia Heaton. Why that shrill bitch keeps appearing on TV is a mystery. Oh well, grabbing the remote and switching the channel as soon as I see her face is good for my manual dexterity.
10. A celebrity you respect for what they’ve been through in life Again, JBKO. No one handled as much with more grace. Her parents' scandalous separation and divorce when she was 12, her
father's alcoholism, her first husband's weakness for a well-turned
ankle, enduring five difficult pregnancies in 10 years yet she only brought two
babies home from the hospital, the horror in that open car in Dallas,
mourning with the world watching, her brother-in-law's murder, her
second husband's weakness for a well-turned ankle, her step son's death,
another widowhood, her mother's Alzheimer's, her sister's alcoholism,
her own battle with cancer … And yet she made this difficult life look so effortless. My admiration for her knows no bounds.11. A celebrity you share a birthday with Jamie Lee Curtis
12. A celebrity you find annoying Patricia Heaton. Or Kris Jenner. Those two embody everything icky about women.
13. Favorite under-20 celebrity I don't think I know anyone under 20. So I'll go with that venerable 24 year old, Jennifer Lawrence.
14. Favorite over-60 celebrity Streisand
15. The celebrity “fandom” that means most to you I am a Cub fan.
I was at a party with Robert Osborne at Sardi's once...my one and only NY theater experience. Marge Champion and Theodore Bikel were there too. It was opening night for my friend's off-off Bdwy show.
ReplyDeleteYOU KISSED BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. YOU KISSED BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN. OMG OMG OMG.
ReplyDeleteI bow before you, O Honored One.
I forgot about Little Joe. I adored him and I think he probably predates my Donny Osmond crush.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you about Patricia Heaton.
Very fun!
ReplyDeleteIsn't Jackson Galaxy cool. Good choice for to hang with. Oh boy, Woody Allen - your observations are spot ON. (me too-ism here)
ReplyDeletewow, i didn't know all that about jackie o. all that hardship, yet she always looked so glamorous yet classy.
ReplyDeleteand i echo countrydew! *bow*
There is nothing like watching a movie and Robert Osborn telling you all about it first. Joe and Mika would be fine until Joe gets on a rant. He has been pretty calm lately though..
