This whole thread reminds me of the conversation at my parents house over dinner one night:

Mom: Let's play a game. If you could have dinner with any famous person who would it be?

Grandma: Cary Grant.

Me: Katherine Hepburn.

Grandma: If I were in your situation, I would want to have dinner with her too.

Family: ?!?!?!

(In my head): Did Grandma just declare if she were a lesbian she'd do Katherine Hepburn??

Anyhow, my list:
Katherine Hepburn
Kathleen Hanna
Ayn Rand
Margaret Thatcher
Eleanor Roosevelt
 
Kate Moss
Ashley Olsen
Mischa Barton
Keira Knightley
Star Jones


I'd only invite Star Jones to watch the faces of the other 4 girls as they watched Star Jones vacuum her food, and THEIR food, into her mouth. :D

Can I come instead of Star Jones? I can eat a whole lot more, I swear!

Mischa Barton and her mom stayed with my parents for one week in manhattan when 9/11 happened, no joke. this was before she was famous, of course.

Did you ask her mom why she was hitting on Ryan's dad, after he put Ryan through all that **** when he was younger, and especially after he lied about having cancer?

What, did they just knock on your mum's door and say "Can we come in and stay? A building just collapsed and we're a bit shaken."

Sure. I'd also have a bucket beside the table in case anybody wanted to throw up their food. Oh no, I'm not talking about bulimia. I'm just afraid that people may want to throw up after watching Star Jones eat.
