Seriously spend one hour alone with, unmoderated or whatever, no assistants, no managers, just you and them chatting about whatever...
1 rule: you are legally bound to never publicize anything said or heard, punishment being severe like possible jail time over 10 years (I KNOW fictitious but this whole thing is)
1 trick they know coming in you are a "fan" so they will probably be a bit reserved in their chat unless you are an excellent conversationalist :D
after a few posts I'll say who I had in mind and why...
but imagine getting DeNiro or someone alone, and what you could learn from them?
-
Putin,
I wanna learn about his KGB career.
-
Robert Altman
Wait..... I've done that already.
-
Jesus
-
Angelina Jolie
Oh...wait...you said CHAT.
Um.... Megan Fox...
Dammit!
Sorry, the celebs I want to meet I don't think "chat" is the activity I'd have in mind. :rolleyes:
-
scarlette.
we'll be chatting about how this or that feels.
:cool:

Dang it JB, that one makes my joke make no sense. But I'd still do the grab her, carry her up the stairs and make her a woman thing. I'd have to ask for an exemption on the 1 hour limit, tho.

Chuck Yeager or Bob Hoover
Well, they are Air Show celebs!
-
It's a toss up here. Either Harrison Ford or Amanda Tapping.
Harrison Ford because I have loved every movie he has ever starred in. He is one hell of an actor and everything I've seen or heard about him he seems to be a down to earth kind of guy.
Amanda Tapping for the same reasons but with the added benifit that she is smoking hot.
-
Henry Rollins.
Then William Shatner.
-
George Soros
-
Hangtime and lasz
-
Clint Eastwood maybe. (well I already met him as well as Ms Eastwood AND James Bradley :D)
Or Michael Caine.
Or maybe, to increase the fun factor, Craig Ferguson. Or Jeremy Clarkson, who is coming to my country today BTW.
Or a politician? Clinton :t
A dead one? Hitler...or Churchill :t

I don't know that I would call her "smoking hot", attractive, yes, but I havent seen her in anything that qualifies as smoking hot.
-
I stand, humbly, corrected. Smoking hot indeed!

Britanny Spears and Chuck Norris, I would sell my soul to see him roundhouse kick some sense into the girl.

My celeb meeting would be Paul McCartney. Although I'd probably be a blubbering idiot and make a fool of myself.

too many to name all of them, but all for the same reason, more or less, to learn their secrets.

Johnny Hodges and Charlie Parker, both dead.
Hodges because if there was any one sax play whose sound I could have, that's it.
And Parker because he is quite frankly the GOD of sax.

Interesting question, celebrity implies movie stars or whatever. Does that include major world figures?
You know what they say: 'You should never meet your heroes'. But I don't have heroes so that's OK. I have met celebrities as in been in the same room working with them. But never had a chat, just superficial contact. I can't think of anyone. I met Julianne Moore who impressed me as being quite a genuine person. Very pleasant.
Possibly George Clooney, from all accounts he is a genial guy and easy to get on with. Naturally I'd like to meet some of the movie stars who are pilots. At least I would have something to discuss outside of telling him how much I loved his last film, whether I did or not. I'd like to meet Tom Cruise if it means I might get a ride in his P51.:aok

i think cpxxxxxxx is probably right. celeb does imply *movie star* type. I think I'd like to change mine to better suit that. Actually, I can't think of any movie stars that I'd like to meet. So my previous post can just be removed :)
-
not sure I could pick just one or two...
Clint Eastwood
Bruce Willis
George Clooney
Paul Newman
Robert Redford
Steve McQueen
Jack Nickelson
Robert DeNiro
Morgan Freeman
Jay Leno, just so I can check out all those cars
Russell Crowe
James Garner
John Wayne

When i was a doorman in the city, off the top of my head and i know i'm forgetting some, i met:
Bruce Willis
Demi Moore
Jack Nicholson
Billy Squire
Steven Speilburg
Scott Rudin
Steven Jobs
Tom Cruise
Harrison Ford
Jerry Seinfeld
The skinny smurfy chick from sex in the city
Steve Martin
Courtney Love
Woody Harrilson*sp
Goldie Hawn
Donna Karen
Ted Dansen
Dustin Hoffman
To me it's no big deal. Some of them were cool, some of them i wanted to see get hit by a bus.

yes it can include major world figures.
according to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celebrity
and as such my answers stand, some in mine may be less a celebrity than others. so what? at one time or another, in local, country, or international, they all are celebrities.
a Local one would be Jack Barker a Musician that played on the TV in Winston-Salem, NC , in the 40's, when my Father was just a boy.
Jack plays an electric lap steel guitar as well as a standard acoustic guitar.
I've seen and heard him play like it was real easy. he actually had the same lap steel guitar when he was on TV. he still has it, still plays it. and he is, IMO, very very good.
gotta go now, I'll finish this later if I remember to.

McQueen and Wayne are both dead though.
Eastwood is one celebrity that I would enjoy meeting. He is not just a talented actor, but has actually produced and directed many fine movies, including two Academy award winners.
Even John Wayne never accomplished that.

Batjac was the name of John Wayne's independent production company, formed in 1952 as Wayne/Fellows Productions. When Wayne and producer Robert Fellows ended their short-lived partnership, Wayne changed the company's name to Batjack, named after a fictitious trading company in Wayne's 1948 film Wake of the Red Witch; his secretary misspelled the name "Batjac" on company documents, and Wayne didn't bother to correct her, so the name stuck. Batjac produced 30 films between 1952 and 1974, and because most of them were owned or licensed by their distributors, many were released on VHS (and eventually, DVD) under normal contractual conditions.

If it includes deceased celebs; Stevie Ray Vaughn. Got to see in concert 3 times.

We used to have a list on the wall of my JROTC classroom back in HS that was basically "the world according to Marines". Two that always stood out-
"Actor who should have been a Marine- John Wayne.
Marine who should never have been an Actor- John Wayne Bobbitt."

celebrity as in movie star : Paul Newman
Celebrity as in famous for whatever reason: Neil A Armstrong
As an aside I do plan to meet God when this life is over.

Are you sure about that?
Yes, I am most definitely sure.
There is a big difference between helping to found a film company, and being the actual director or producer of a film.
The only film that Wayne actually directed was "The Alamo". However, that film was such a huge financial loss, that Wayne was never entrusted with such authority again in a film. "The Alamo" did very poor box office. It was an extremely expensive film to make at that time too. And it was thus a big financial hit to Wayne himself, since he owned such a big piece of the company.
Now Wayne was a great actor and American, don't get me wrong. But his overall talent in the film industry cannot even begin to compare to Eastwood's.
Before they die, everyone should visit Carmel, CA ( where Eastwood served one term as Mayor ) and have a Dirty Harry Burger at Eastwood's Hog's Breath Inn restaurant.
It is a tiny little place, and a little difficult to even find. But having a meal in their outdoor patio is quite a treat:
