I truly can't think of any celebrity I'm dying to meet.

I did meet Oprah once. I wrote a book several years ago and did the talk show circuit to promote it. She was the only host to actively avoid her guests. All the other hosts made a point of coming back to the green room to meet guests and make them feel welcome and comfortable. She ordered an assistant to "hurry up and shut" her door as the guests filed by on the way to the studio. Perhaps she's emotionally intelligent, but she's all business and not as warm as she presents herself to be.

President Trump was a businessman for decades. Yes, he appeared in movies as himself, a businessman. He also created and appeared in The Apprentice, which was based on a business model. It was not a reality show like Real Housewives or similar.

President Reagan was a famous Hollywood actor before becoming president, but then he was a president/former president first and foremost.

The Obamas were disturbingly enamored with becoming celeb-like and being their own brand (he even had a logo and tagline). So narcissistic.


Yeah, this sounds like someone desperately trying to convince themselves. You hate the Obamas, that is clear. You are also delusional, which is even more clear.

Stephen King - I have a first edition of The Stand that I need for him to sign Plus, I would be interested in meeting the mind that came up with stories like Salem's Lot, The Shining, etc.

Taylor Swift - I've been watching Taylor perform since she was a teenager. It is truly amazing to see what a powerful force she has become in the music industry. She has a rare combination of talents that have taken her far. I would be really disappointed if she behaved like a jerk towards me because I do have a high opinion of her as a person.

Bruce Springsteen - I've always loved his music and the songs that he writes and I'll never forget standing in long lines to get tickets to his Born in the USA concert. I think he would be an interesting person to talk to even though I don't agree with him politically.


I have a friend who met him- she was visiting Maine and went right up to his house. Apparently he's very friendly with fans who stop by to meet him.

He has to be one of the most entertaining human beings on earth!



He is a genius when it comes to poeple. He will remember people he has met once (and I cannot imagine how many folks he meets) and ask them about their families.

Listen to the audio version of the "My Dad's Friendship with Charles Barkley" article. I dare you not to cry, especially at the end when Chuck starts talking about how all you want is for your kids to be happy and good people and able to take care of themselves.


Sold! I will. I am a huge fan of Sir Charles.

Um, the Apprentice was a SCRIPTED reality show. They are all scripted.

I worshipped Debbie Allen when I was a kid. (And I'm white!)


I still worship her (that was my list above). I follow her on IG and she still dances and teaches dance. She remembers EVERYONE from her career. I loved Gene Anthony Ray - I still cry when I see old videos of him dancing because that raw talent blows me away.

You know her sister is Claire Huxtable, right? I would love to hear what she thinks about everything that happened with Bill Cosby. Did she know? Is she horrified? Does she still talk to him? Did she talk to "their" tv kids about it? So many questions.
