  1. Who is your favorite celebrity? Sport: (tie) Tiger Woods and Nomar Garciaparra. Film: Tim Robbins (ask me again next week) Television: Bernie Mac and (though I have not seen her show yet) Wanda Sykes Porn: DJS Politics: tie: Sen. Harkin, Sen. Bradley, Sen. Kerry, and, most of all Sen Harry Reid of Nevada (former employer).
2. Who is your least favorite? Osama Bin Laden (for obvious reasons) Jim Carrey (sorry, I don't get it - I never have actually) Lleyton Hewitt (the tennis player - still haven't gotten over the racist comment directed at James Blake in the 2001 U.S. Open, I will root against him until he is dead; he makes me hate Kim Cjlisters (his girlfriend) and he give me reservations about Australia) Alanis Morissette (I can't explain it, I'm a total hater.
) 3. Have you ever met or seen any celebrities in real life? Met is a strong word seen is easier. I bumped into Oprah as faithful readers know. I saw Alison Janney at the L.A. Arboretum (no bra! ) and John Ritter at Amoeba Records (uncombed hair!). I just saw Nick Collison (graduating forward for the Kansas Jayhawk basketball team) at Yello Sub (best subs in the lower 48) in Lawrence, Kansas (the 23rd street location, not the Jayhawk Boulevard location). Rick Fox small forward for the L.A. Lakers at (then) Dayton's in downtown Mizzapolis. I talked to the poet Anne Carson (stared at my crotch the whole time - "hey, poet, I'm up here!"). I've seen Duante Culpepper (Vikings Quarterback) and Stephon Marbury (Phoenix Suns guard) at the airport.
I talked to (former Vice Presidential candidate) Geraldine Ferraro in her office for about 15 minutes (couldn't take her eyes off my crotch BTW). I've met and talked to Maya Angelou (writer, poet) and Gordon Parks (photographer, artist) and Jesse Ventura (wrestler, governor). I saw Prince driving a Ford Taurus in Minnetonka once. George Steinbrenner at a Yankess spring training game. I sat on a plane next to General Westmoreland (commanded the troops in Vietnam - loves his gin gibsons BTW).
I rapped with Jesus once in college (vey, vey drunk, friends, vey drunk). A few Presidents (the elder Bush (S.A.C. ), Gore (counting as President) and Reagan)...My contacts have all been so slight that I'm sure I'm forgetting some. 4. Would you want to be famous? Why or why not? Not even for one second. I'm not sure I would want to be rich. I definitely would not want to be powerful, and of the three, the one I want the least if fame. What a burden.
If I had to choose one between rich, powerful or famous, I would reluctantly choose rich. I'd put them in this order rich, powerful, famous. 5. If you had to trade places with a celebrity for a day, who would you choose and why? Tiger Woods - for the golf, baby. I know it's boring, but I cannot tell a lie. I would pick Tiger for the golf.
