Friday Five

1. Who is your favorite celebrity?

Rupert Holmes. (But I'd have to be honest and say Lassie as well. {wink})

2. Who is your least favorite?

One? How can you narrow so many obnoxious people down to one? For starters how about Gilbert Gottfried, Adam Sandler, Carrottop, and Martin Short?

3. Have you ever met or seen any celebrities in real life?

Yes, have met and spoken to Rupert Holmes and part of the cast of one of the top ten television series of all time, Remember WENN (Amanda Naughton, Kevin O'Rourke, Melinda Mullins, Hugh O'Gorman, Tom Beckett, Carolee Carmello, and the late George Hall). Also Dave Allen, the British comedian. Now if you're counting "seen" as in "seen in concert/performance": Lassie, Peter, Paul, and Mary, Gallagher, the Moody Blues, Jimmy Buffett, Gene Roddenberry, and Mark Russell. And if you want to add people I've seen/chatted with at science fiction conventions, then this list would be endless: most of the cast of Star Trek, Babylon 5, several Dr. Who and Blake's 7 actors, Isaac Asimov, Tommy Kirk, Erin Gray, etc.

4. Would you want to be famous? Why or why not?

Famous? Probably not. Too much trouble with hangers-on and weirdos. But I would like to have that money to do as I like and not have to fiddle with numbers all the time.

5. If you had to trade places with a celebrity for a day, who would you choose and why?

Rupert Holmes. He gets to write (both music and prose) for a living.
